Constructivism is believed to be a way of learning where children engage with their environment to create their own understanding of the world. From day to day we encounter various smells, sights, sounds, textures, and tastes. All of these encounters allow for children to develop ideas and solve problems through their environment. You can find the use of constructivism in just about any childhood education classroom. Compared to a traditional teaching setting, where information is given and…

Piggy was the most ridiculed in the group. The first time Piggy met Ralph, he "shrieked with laughter" at Piggy's name. Ralph was being insensitive and childish in this situation. Piggy was telling him not to call him that. Piggy died with a "glancing blow from chin to knee." This occurred when roger let go of the rock that struck him. I believe that Roger did this on purpose to stir up trouble and to test Jack's authority. "Roger" killed Piggy "with a sense of delirious abandonment." In small…

When creating assessments to promote mastery goals, I must utilize the standards for the STEM curricula to create learning goals. Thus, at the beginning of the semester, I will design and administer a diagnostic assessment based on the learning goals for the course (Green & Johnson, 2010). This assessment will provide data such as the students’ current level of knowledge about the course content, the students’ foundational knowledge necessary for the course, and student interests related to the…

I believed that education should be responsive to current ideas and problems. Students both learn from experiences as well as become transformed by them. Instruction must be individualized to meet the need of the individual. I share and practice the axiology of John Dewey in which, “the school, itself, is a community of students and teachers who are mutually engaged in learning. It is a specialized environment in which experienced are simplified, purified and balanced.…

a. When should Sue order from Company A? Explain your answer. b. When should Sue order from Company B? Explain your answer. A2. Connecting life experiences to the problem is an effective way to make content relevant to the students (Van De Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013). I would ask the students questions to connect this problem to their lives. Examples of the questions are 1. How many of you are a part of a sports team, club, or organization that require a uniform? 2. How does the…

etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems or a machine, piece of equipment, method, ect, that is created by technology. This means technical knowledge and technical machines are resources that can potentially enhance many aspects of our lives, to include education. In the academic world technology is no stranger. Teaching aids such computers, projectors, internet, microteaching and other media devices are used to facilitate and enhance learning for the students and also make the work…

lives, students have a basic grasp of shapes, however, they have not developed a critical understanding of what properties define that shape (Bell et al., 1983). This basic foundation knowledge can also cause difficulty when it comes to teaching and learning as the students have solidified these ideals in their mind. With this in mind, my Year 10 classes in which I taught these lessons come from a variety of schools, from various areas as well as some students who have been home-schooled, and…
