What? This week in class we discussed constructivism which involves learners constructing their own meaning based on experiences. Also, the roots of constructivism can be individual or social. We also discussed the importance in creating a community of learners where students work to help one another learn and participate.
So What? As teachers we need to provide our students with opportunities for experimentation so that they can discover hands on. This knowledge is important so that we can identify existing misconceptions before instruction even begins
Now What? When teachers are aware of misconceptions about subjects we can more directly address them or show them some error in their beliefs. It is also important to incorporate teaching concepts such as giving a clear definition, a best example, and positive instances that help students stay away from misconceptions.
