INTRO! |
Constructivism has emerged over the past few decades
as a major instructional movement emphasizing the active role of learners
engaged in meaningful, authentic and collaborative tasks. Unlike traditional
objectivist instructional models, which treated knowledge as a trans-ferable
commodity, constructivist models view instruction as a learner-centered
process where stud-ents assume major responsibility for con-structing
new knowledge through carefully guided experiences linked to real-world
situations. |
