Constructivism in classroom

According to Piaget,

• humans must be given information in order to learn new information

• humans must construct their own knowledge in order to truly learn

• humans can immediately use new information once provided

Cognitive constructivism notes that

• children construct new knowledge at different rates

• children construct new knowledge when in disequilibrium

• children construct new knowledge when they fit new information into existing schema

• all of the above

According to Vygotsky,

• learning is a developmental process

• collaboration and social interaction are key to learning

• cognitive ability is the key to learning

According to Vygotsky, internalization occurs when

• students master a task

• students engage in cooperative learning

• both of the above

• neither of the above

A similarity between cognitive and social constructivism is

• while social interaction occurs, learning occurs when the individual constructs knowledge

• the teacher takes the role of facilitator, not director

• a students' inner speech is an integral part of learning

• all of the above

A constructivist classroom includes

• inquiry learning

• engagement in real world examples, problems, situations, etc.

• a trusting teacher-student relationship

• all of the above
