Constructivism Vs Objectivism Theory Flashcards
Objectivists believe:
That knowledge exists independently of the learner; instruction focuses on transferring knowledge to the learner. To instruct is to provide with knowledge in a methodical way. Instructional design methods help transmit meaning consistently and efficiently across learners. The learner’s risk, guided by the designer, is to recognize and label relevant objects and events, organize them into coherent chunks and integrate new with existing knowledge and skills.
Constructivism is:
Constructivists believe that reality is constructed by individuals and social groups based on their experiences with interpretations of the world. Constructivist learning environments engage students in activities applying content. Constructivists argue that knowledge is both individually constructed and socially co-constructed from interactions and experiences with the world. Meaning emerges from practice or activity and from discussion and reflection on that practice.
Learners sort out which ideas are viable and which are not, learners must test their personal understandings against those of others usually peers and teachers is _________________
Constructivism
_________________researchers focus attention on high level, complex learning goals, such as the ability to write persuasive essays, engage in informal reasoning, explain how data relate to theory in scientific investigations and formulate and solve moderately complex problems that require mathematical reasoning.
Constructivist
Constructivist researchers recommend the following learning environments:
- Engage learners in activities authentic to the discipline in which they are learning
- Provide for collaboration and the opportunity to engage multiple perspectives on what is being learned
- Support learners in setting their own goals and regulate their own learning
- Encourage learners to reflect on what and how they are learning
Guiding principles of constructivist learning environments are:
- Pose problems of emerging relevance to students.
- Structure learning around primary concepts.
- Seek and value students point of view.
- Adapt curriculum to address students suppositions.
- Assess student learning in the context of teaching.
The goal of constructivist learning environment is:
Provide rich experiences that encourages students to learn.
Constructivist classrooms teach big concepts using:
Much student activity, social interaction and authentic assessments
Instructional methods that fit well with constructivism are:
- Discovery learning
- Peer assisted learning
- Discussions
- Debates
- Reflective teaching
_______________refers to instructional approaches in which peers serve as active agents in the learning process.
“Peer assisted learning” Peer tutoring and cooperative learning are forms of peer assisted learning.
_______________and _____________ are useful when the objective is to acquire greater conceptual understanding or multiple viewpoints of a topic.
Discussions and debates
________________teaching is thoughtful decision making that considers such factors as students, contexts, psychological processes, learning, motivation and self-knowledge.
Reflective teaching
_______________learning environments are generally structured and prescribed to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills deemed important by teachers and subject matter experts.
Objectivism
