About constructivism in my learning experience

Constructivism at any school is essential to promote a well learning among students


and its a great way to encourage critical thinking in students.
Our educational system has serious difficulties as to quality in education, its
because of the lack of critical thinking in both students and teachers and we need to
change this situation. To solve it, we can apply constructivism as a way to get big
things in our schools.
Many people think that education is a process in which students learn a set of
knowledge given by their teachers but them dont even know the difference between
practical knowledge and theory one. Through constructivism teachers encourage to
their students different ways to get knowledge and achieve all kind of goals by
practical activities. In the same way students can understand the best way all the
content because traditional method doesnt take place here.
As you know, traditional method of teaching and learning is an old method
implemented several years ago but nowadays is being avoided because of its poor
philosophy, its bad procedures. For that those are not the best according to this new
era of information and communication.
I am not an English teacher yet but in my learning process I know the importance of
constructivism to increase knowledge in a significant way. Our previous knowledge
are an important source of information and the background to the new ones.
During this learning process which we are in, constructivism is quite important to
adjust previous knowledge, to adapt them and then apply them. We have to keep in
mind that every new know knowledge has a concept base in our brain, so this
learning process become an interest exercise to explore those knowledge and
expand them through critical thinking and experience.

I have so many experiences in which constructivism has been the best way to learn
any new topic. To be honest, this is one of them. Ive studied this topic a couple of
semesters ago and I understood a little bit about this method, but in this activity I
read some articles about constructivism then I realized I knew some basic
statements about it. The next step was to make a conceptualization between what I
just read and what I knew. Here we can see the main field of action of constructivism,
its a conceptualization of knowledge that leads this learning process.
Its clear that there are so many methods to implement in learning and teaching
process, but we all know constructivism make the matter easier because of its
practical application in our daily learning experience.
