Constructivism

Problem: In Plato’s Meno, after being perplexed by Socrates’s elenchus style of argument, Meno poses a paradox of knowledge. It goes as follows: If we have k of x, then there is no need to inquire about x. If we do not have k about x, then we cannot even inquire about x. This seems to be a problem for how we can come to know things. Either we already know what we are seeking and it is pointless to do so, or we have no knowledge of something so we cannot seek it out. Regardless of this paradox,…

described in the Driscoll (2005) text. Specific learning theories utilized include: situated cognition, behaviorism, Gagne’s nine events of instruction (behaviorist model that also draws from cognitivism), cognitive information processing, and constructivism. The first recommendation for improving online SCIN 100 faculty engagement relies on individuals in leadership roles (including the course mentor, program chairs, and administrative personnel) inspiring collaboration among a variety of…

physical propreties (solidity for example), this latter theory is called the Core Knowledge Theory (Spelke et al., 1992), (Spelke, Kinzler, 2002). Unlike Piaget, Baillargeon and Spelke indicate that object permanence does not entirely rely on constructivism as there is a form of primitive knowledge, this is called the nativist theory. Furthermore, Spelke et al. (1992) show that even two months old infants manifest a partial form of object permanence, which strengthens this nativist approach of…

During the two world wars, there was a popular art design movement between the 1920’s to 1930’s. It was a combination of different artist styles; neoclassical, constructivism, cubism, modernism, art nouveau, and futurism. These styles affected all types of art such as architecture, interior, design, sculpture, furniture, industrial design and other mediums like clothing, jewelry, graphic arts, paintings, and films. This movement was one of the reason why the twenties were known for “a world…

Discussion Post #2: Nat’l Educ Tech Plan The authors envision a future in which ubiquitous technology is used by students for learning purposes. Many students are continuously connected to their devices today for two purposes: entertainment and communication. The authors envision all students having access and using their devices not just for personal use but for educational purposes. I would argue that ubiquitous access alone will not achieve this goal; students must be motivated to expand…

Carin, Gladys Ian T. IRO BA in Political Science In order for a state to survive, it must learn how to communicate with other states. States have different national interest that may contravene with other states and may result into tragedies like war between states and its allies. International relations or IR was created to study and understand relations among states and know the cause of conflict between states so that it could prevent war from happening. International relations try to…

Intro: Art Education Philosophy Ideas of Art Education, being the fantastic teacher and creating the perfect classroom are centered around one thing; the student. I believe art education is an essential for every child’s wholesome development because it encompasses tangibility, expression, interpretation, inquiry, diversity, and connections. In my classroom every student will be motivated, challenged, and think critically while feeling free to ask questions and make mistakes. Influenced by…

Implications of Transactional Distance Theory for Online Competency-Based Education Competency-based education (CBE) has a long history, having been used for at least 30 years in vocational training (Garfolo & L’Huillier, 2016). With the increase in adult students using online education to earn credentials and enter or advance in career paths, some online programs are turning to CBE (Weise, 2014). Institutions using CBE in online programs must consider how the interaction made possible online…

DIMENSION SEVEN: THE RELATION OF THE OLD TO THE NEW Defining change and a digital workplace Change is inevitable. Change is significantly apparent in ‘New learning’ or ‘21st learning’ as there is a substantial amount of research contributing to the idea of transforming learning environments, in turn, changing ‘classroom’ or ‘learning space’ dynamics. Change can be relative. Cuban (1993) explains that for some teachers substituting textbooks, deciding to implement technology such as computers…

It is at this point that the author says a majority of the avant-garde artists decided to proclaim their full support of the new Bolshevik state. Rodchenko proposed a new program of constructivism in 1919, and it was at this point that the avant-garde was convinced the future rested solely on their shoulders. Rodchenko’s constructivist art was modeled by “the machine”, in theory it was moving along by course of it’s own rules and laws.…
