- 8. Types: CognitiveConstructivism (Piaget) Structured for Individual Understanding is to invent Individual’s reaction to experience Learners builds knowledge with Schemata Social Constructivism (Vygotsky) Structured in Social Context Understanding is social in origin Interaction with others Learners buid knowledge through scaffolding
- 11. Phases of Learning in Constructivist Approach Engage Explore Explain Elaborate Evaluate
- 12. Engage: Start the Process Stimulate Learner’s Curiosity Assign aTask/Topic/ Concept Create Interest Generate Curiosity Raise Questions
- 13. Explore: Provide students with a Common Base of Experience Identify/ Develop Concepts/ Processes To satisfy curiosity Use inquiry to explore and investigate Do experiment Encourage students to work together Ask probing questions
- 14. Explain: Opportunities to verbalize students’ conceptual understanding Demonstrate new skills or behaviour Introduce formal terms, definitions and explanations for the concepts Ask for justification and clarification
- 15. Elaborate Extend students conceptual understanding through- Information Details Explanation Examples Experiences
- 16. Evaluate: Encourage learners and access their understanding and abilities Access students’ knowledge and skill Ask open ended questions
- 17. Principles of Constructivism Learning exists in the mind Learning is contextual Learning is both Individual and Social Process Learning is an active process Knowledge is constructed (build new knowledge on previous learning)

- 20. Subject Specific Assessment: Meaningful context & re conceptualize knowledge in new contexts Develop Higher OrderThinking Skill Allow multiple interpretations & expression of learning Encourage group work & use of peers as resources Social Science Science Language
- 21. Assessment in Constructivist perspective … Learning is inductive, so assessment should be the same way Multiple perspectives and representations of concepts / content permissible Learners construct their own meaning, let them create their own way (manipulate, discover, create knowledge) New learning builds on prior knowledge, need to connect it Learning is enhanced by social interaction / experience, provide opportunities Constructivist learning (5 E’s) Learning is embedded in problem solving environment (activities, opportunities, tools, etc.) Collaborative and cooperative learning Scaffolding is facilitated wherever necessary Assessment interwoven with teaching Classroom discussions with immediate feedbacks
