Constructivism

Introduction In this assignment, Assignment 2, Reflexive Paper, I will discuss and evaluate three prevalent perspectives about learning and instruction. These are behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitive information processing. As I complete my tenure in the ISLT program, I feel overwhelmed with new information, which will only be truly understood when I apply it in the field. It is very interesting learning and understanding the science of why certain practices are incorporated into…

Theory Revisited The theory that is being revisited is Constructivism/Cognitive Development as viewed by Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Constructive theorists believe if a human being is to learn there are many factors that influence the learning process. Cognitive Development is influenced by experiences, culture, chronological age, mental age. In my research of Constructivism/Cognitive Development I became enlightened by the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, both constructivists who shared…

Arts education lends more towards constructivism, and constructivist learning it is described much like arts learning. Constructivism more frequently practices in art…

position, and he/she will feel part of a whole. This doesn 't mean that the social no influence in these early stages. Children are related especially to their family dynamics, and cultural values. Lev Vygotsky is considered the precursor of social constructivism, and the several social conceptions of learning. The core of Lev Vygotsky approach is to consider the individual as the result of historical and social process, where language plays an essential role. For Lev Vygotsky, knowledge is a…

Methodology Research Design Objectivism versus Constructivism Objectivism has been the main framework in many fields including education and HRM. Traditional approaches to learning and human relationships are based on behaviouristic and cognitive theories that hold philosophical assumptions of objectivism. The main assumptions of objectivism are the following. First, a real world exists which is made of entities with properties and relations; also, properties predict their categorisation…

different learning theories will be discussed: Piaget’s theory of cognitive constructivism, Vygotsky’s theory of social constructivism and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Each of these theories will be explored deeper and evaluated as well as analysing their importance in relation to the primary classroom. There are two forms of constructivism that will be explored. The first is Piaget’s theory of cognitive constructivism. Piaget’s (1936) theory of cognitive development describes how children…

Constructivism states that children learn through adaptation. Children are not passive in knowledge, but active at making meaning, testing out theories, and trying to make sense out of the world and themselves. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world…

and how people see you physically is what your own judgements are based because sadly we care more about how people think of us than how we think of ourselves. Thus, making one act positively or negatively on these perceived judgements. Social constructivism is controlled with people that have power and starts as early as the first day of school, and it never ends no matter what you do it will always be there. For kids like myself that went through many levels how obesity and negatively…
