A Constructivist Approach

Posted by: adrianuni | May 3, 2008 | No Comment |



Constructivist approach provides the tools and the information and leaves the learner to generate meaning.

A major theme in the theoretical framework of Bruner is that learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge. The learner selects and transforms information, constructs hypotheses, and makes decisions, relying on a cognitive structure to do so. Cognitive structure (i.e., schema, mental models) provides meaning and organization to experiences and allows the individual to “go beyond the information given”.
