Constructivist Learning (HMLT 5203)
By Bundhun Amit Varma
Objectives• Define what is constructivism• Define cognitive-constructivism• Define socio-constructivism• Recall six implications of constructivism in
online learning• Recall four Instructional design implications in
constructivist learning• Evaluation in constructivist learning
What is constructivism?
• Knowledge is not passive• Learning is actively built on previous
knowledge• Learner-centered• Scaffolding• contextual learning
What is cognitive constructivism?• Theory developed by Jean Piaget• Learning is an active process of assimilation
and accommodation Active Experience Making errors
Looking for solutions
What is cognitive constructivism?• Learning should be
Whole Real life
Authentic
What is socio-constructivist?
• Theory developed by Lev Vygotsky• Learning and development is social
What is socio-constructivist?
• Zone of Proximal Development as guide for curriculum & lessons
What is socio-constructivist?• Learning should occur in meaningful context
• Out of school experience must be related to experience in the course
What Should I choose
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Meaningful material to learners– examples that relate to students– help to apply and personalise information
I can relate to this
Content
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Meaningful activities – to develop high level processing– to facilitate creation of personalised meaningExample -Forum Discussion
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Knowledge construction is facilitated with interactive online instruction– Learner experiences information first - hand– then contextualised and personalise information
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Collaborative and cooperative learning should be encouraged– Individual team members learn from one
another’s strength
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Control of Learning process to the learner– guidance by instructor
Implications of constructivist in online learning
• Time and opportunity for learners to reflect
Opportunity
Instructional design implications of constructivist learning
• Active learning– Need for discovery learning
• Without information Given (WIG)• Beyond Information Given (BIG)
Instructional design implications of constructivist learning
• Authentic Learning– Simulate and recreate real life complexities and
occurrences (games)– Cognitive apprenticeship– Situated learning
Instructional design implications of constructivist learning
• Multiple Perspectives– Multiple and Alternative views to learner– Multiple learning styles– Multiple representatives of knowledge
Instructional design implications of constructivist learning
• Collaborative Learning– Develop, compare and understand multiple views
Evaluation in constructivist Learning
• Ability to explain and defend decisions– Discuss on activities– Reflect on effort
Evaluation in constructivist Learning
• Development of – meta-cognitive skills – Self reflexive processes
