Constructivism: A Holistic Approach to Teaching and Learning

A definition of constructivism

Fundamentally, constructivism says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences.

Constructivism is a learning theory

• Learning is an active process
• Knowledge is constructed from (and shaped by) experience
• Learning is a personal interpretation of the world
• Emphasizes problem solving and understanding
• Uses authentic tasks, experiences, settings, assessments
• Content presented holistically –not in separate smaller parts

Constructivism is a process –the instructor

• Adapt curriculum to address students’ suppositions
• Help negotiate goals and objectives with learners
• Pose problems of emerging relevance to students
• Emphasize hands‐on, real‐world experiences
• Seek and value students’ points of view 
• Use the social context of content
• Provide multiple modes of representations / perspectives on content
• Create new understandings via coaching, moderating , suggesting
• Testing should be integrated with the task and not a separate activity
• Use errors to inform students of progress to understanding and changes in ideas

Constructivism is a process –the student

• Help develop own goals and assessments
• Create new understandings (via coaching, moderating, suggesting)
• Control learning (reflecting)
• Member of community of learners
• Collaborate among fellow students
