Show how constructivist
teaching is done by the use of interactive,
collaborative, integrative and inquiry-based
Constructivist Teaching:
Constructivist teaching is based on the constructivist learning theory, the belief that learning occurs when
learners are actively involved in a process and
knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information.
Interactive:
Interactive teaching is that it is NOT something new or mysterious. If you are a teacher and you ask
questions in class, assign and check homework, or hold class or group
discussions, then you already teach interactively. Basically, interactive
teaching is just giving students something to do, getting back what
they have done, and then assimilating it yourself, so that you can decide what would be best to
do next.
Collaborative:
Collaboration is beyond interaction. When
students collaborate for learning, they do not just
interact, they work together and help one another for a common
goal.
Integrative:
An integrated approach allows learners to explore, gather, process, refine and present information about
topics they want to investigate without the constraints imposed by
traditional subject barriers.
Inquiry-based:
Also known asproblem-based teaching or simply
as ‘inquiry,’ this approach puts students’
questions at the center of the curriculum, and places just as
much value on thecomponent skills of research as it
does on knowledge and understanding of content.
