My Understanding on Constructivism
Constructivism is a teaching philosophy that gives the students a chance to comprehend the meaning of that class and which is basically an answer of "Why I am learning this?" and "What are the benefits of this information?". Knowing these answers will create awareness on the students.
Students come to the class ready (studied for the topic) and discuss the certain issues with the teacher's guidance. By doing this, they internalize the information. They learn from each other and the teacher builds the new knowledge on their existing knowledge. If the students do not study or the population of the classroom is too high, it will become impossible to study.
By constructivism students share their information and opinions so classes are more fun and learning is more permanent. However we should take the population into consideration before we try it.
