Constructivism in the Classroom
Captions available
The idea
Constructivism holds that learners actively construct knowledge from experience, and that understanding deepens in layers over time rather than arriving complete.
In practice
Heat is first what burns a hand, later molecules in motion.
Where people slip
Constructivist methods, such as seminars, projects and guided problem solving, vary in how much the teacher directs.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
