Wednesday class notes

final questions do not come directly from notes n class material,
Q is not going to be what the theory say, nut how does it effect the teaching and learning, its; IMPLICATION
will based on reading
do not memorize all the sentences...but the content
the theories are related, and based on other

1 of the problem is we dun read a lot....mayb bcos the level of eng is so high....
we need to memorize who say who
but make the theories related to teaching
to feel that it is a new way of looking at teaching...

constructivist teaching is not well defined, rather it contradicts, philosophically, the meaning of constructivism
(if st build their knowledge, then how we teach them)

in fact constructivism is not about teaching, it is about knowledge & learning...

CONSTRUCTIVIST VIEW OF LEARNING: how they view learning

it is about the teaching which results from such a view of learning.


The constructivist view involves two principles: (http://www.grout.demon.co.uk/Barbara/chreods.htm)

1. Knowledge is actively constructed by the learner, not passively received from the environment.

2. Coming to know is a process of adaptation based on and constantly modified by a learner's experience of the world.

children get shock in exam bcos the exam paper is not made completely same as what they learn in the class

RELATE.....only when relate to daily life, it is meaningful to them...

what is in the computer games have that make it so excited  (audio visual colourful, level after another level, reward, competition with computer or friends, something they dun see in normal live, challenges (u have do 5 Qs, not we are going to solve 2 more Qs)
how can we make it in to our teaching....

only think, we can retain the memory longer.....

we learn it so that we can use it in our live later on....

b4 MI, there is only IQ test....;later then found out that intelligence can grow, by educating urself
there4, there is not only 1 way of teaching.......ENDLESS....
eg teaching math using song....for those with MUSIC

when st having discussion, t should actively help them to develop the ideas,

over the years, knowledge has grow.....wat is true now is not going to b true forever

radical cons: knowledge is constructed rather than constricted (knowledge expand)
