- 3. ❖ Constructivism is a learning theory suggesting that we build our own understanding of the world through our experiences and reflecting on those experiences. ❖ Example, a puzzle piece- Each piece (or experience) helps create the bigger picture. ❖ This way, you actively construct your own knowledge rather than passively receiving information. ❖ Knowledge is experience based. ❖ Our belief system affects the process of knowledge exploration. What is Constructivism?
- 4. ➢Constructivist philosophers were influenced by: Socrates, Heraclitus, Emanual Kant, John Dewey, Jean Piaget, J. S. Bruner, Lev Vygotsky. ➢Father of Constructivism- Jean Piaget

C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s ❑ Learner centered + process oriented ❑ Internal and External aspects both are important. ❑ Learners construct their knowledge in their own way, making their learning unique. ❑ They do not just respond, restore and recite information, but actively engage themselves in the activity. ❑ They construct knowledge according to their own capacities, interest and experience. ❑ Reflective level of teaching. ❑ The role of a teacher becomes of a facilitator.
- 6. Forms of Constructivism ✓Psychological Constructivism According to Piaget, learners form two different functions- organisation and adaptation. He laid down 4 stages, through which a child undergoes during the process of development: ▪ Sensory Motor stage ▪ Preoperational Stage ▪ Concrete Operational Stage ▪ Formal Operational Stage ✓Social Constructivism According to J. S. Bruner, learning is an active and social process where learners construct new knowledge based on previous knowledge.

- 8. Role of Teacher ▪ The teacher acts as a facilitator and guide, rather than a traditional instructor. ▪ They provide scaffolding, which means offering support and guidance tailored to each student's needs. ▪ The teacher poses questions, prompts discussions, and encourages students to explore and discover. ▪ The teacher continuously observes students' progress, provides feedback, and adjusts instruction based on individual and group needs. ▪ Assessment is ongoing and formative, focusing on students' development and understanding rather than just final outcomes..

T e a c h i n g S t r a t e g i e s ▪ Group work and peer collaboration are central to the constructivist approach. ▪ Students work together on projects, problem-solving tasks, and discussions, learning from each other’s perspectives and ideas. ▪ Students engage in inquiry-based learning, where they ask questions, conduct investigations, and seek out answers. ▪ This approach helps develop critical thinking and research skills. ▪ Lessons and activities are connected to real-life contexts and practical applications. ▪ Role-plays, simulations, and field trips are used to make learning relevant and meaningful.
