is used.

most appropriate for a constructivist

classroom

It measures collective

abilities-written and oral

expression skills, analytical skills,

manipulative skills, integration,

creativity, and the ability to

work collaboratively.

We need to observe and

evaluate and it would be more objective with

the aid of scoring rubric .


Reference:Corpuz, Brenda B. &Lucido, Paz I.(2012) Educational Technology 1, Lorimar Publishing Inc., Metro Manila, Philippines.


Benefits

Constructivist teaching methods

also provide opportunities for

students to question the

material being presented and explore various topics as their

interest are indignant


Reference:http://www.slideshare.net./nataliea/constructivist-teaching-methods

Student interests are considered.


Benefits

Students as active and engaged learners

Willingham (2009) notes that ,“If the teacher does not direct a lesson to provide constraints on the mental

paths that students will explore the environment itself can do so effectively

in a discovery learning context ”.


Reference:Willingham, D. (2009). Why students don’t like school: A cognitive scientist answers questions about how the mind works and what it means for the classroom. San Francisco: Jossey Bass.


Benefits

A different approach to obtain knowledge.



Educators can help aid students in these discovery-based learning

opportunities by providing them with manipulative and primary resources to

enhance and guide them in their learning


Benefits

Assessment along the

way.

The constructivist classroom is as

equally concerned with the process of learning as it is the product of learning. Such practices assist students and

allows for intervention or enrichment to

enhance learning as it is

happening.




Benefits

Encouraging

cooperative

learning.

Rather than students working

in isolation, constructivist classrooms

promote students working together to enhance the

learning experiences.



SUMMARy

•In a constructivist, technology-supported learning, the traditional paper-and-pencil tests are not adequate to assess learning.•To measure the students' communication, analytical, integrative, evaluative and collaborative skills, authentic forms of assessment such as performance and product assessment are more reliable.•Scoring rubrics are a must in assessment.
