Constructivist Learning Theory :
I decided to write this short blog on constructivist learning because this is the learning style that was embraced by our instructor Dr. Keane. Constructivism refers to the idea that learners construct knowledge for themselves from their experiences through a process of accomodation and assimilation, and is strongly associated with learning by doing. This rate at which this knowledge is obtatined differs per individual. The constructivism theory is based on the works of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. Social constructivism encourages the learner to arrive at his or her version of the truth based on his or her own experiences. Social constructivism emphasizes the importance of the learner being actively involved in the learning process.
