1 In this reading, reflection you will continue your examination of learning theories that we began last week. This week will focus specifically on the theory of Constructivism. Review the appropriate portion of the Ertmer and Newby (1993) article you were assigned last week. In addition, Please read the following:
Constructivism: Its Theoretica Underpinnings, Variations, and Implications for Classroom Instruction
The Impact of Constructivism on Education: Language, Discourse, and Meaning
Teaching Toolkit: Constructivism & Social Constructivism.2 The reflection should be approximately 500 words in length (about a page).
3 -For the reading, reflection, Id like you to think more specifically and deeply about this approach to teaching and learning. In the reflection, discuss what you think would be two significant advantages a Constructivist approach has for learners. Id also like you to discuss what you think would be at least two significant challenges for teachers when using this approach.
