    This document discusses constructivism and how it relates to knowledge construction and concept learning. It covers two views of constructivism - individual and social. Individual constructivism emphasizes internal knowledge construction, while social constructivism emphasizes knowledge being initially shared and existing in a social context. Characteristics of constructivism include learners actively constructing understanding based on prior knowledge, new learning depending on current understanding, learning being facilitated by social interaction, and meaningful learning occurring through authentic tasks. The document also discusses organizing knowledge through concepts defined by features, prototypes, and exemplars, and making concept learning effective. Schemas and scripts are introduced as well. Strategies for applying constructivism in facilitating learning are provided.

    Module 14: Constructivism:
    Knowledge Construction/Concept Learning

    In this module, challenge yourself to attain the


    following learning outcomes:
    • Explain the role of constructivism in facilitating
    learning
    • Describe strategies to promote knowledge
    construction
    • Describe strategies to facilitate concept learning

    Two Views of Constructivism
    Individual Constructivism
    - This is also called cognitive
    constructivism. It emphasizes individual,
    internal construction of knowledge.
    Social Constructivism
    - This view emphasizes that “knowledge
    exists in a social context and is initially shared
    with others instead of being represented
    solely in the mind of an individual.
    Characteristics
    of
    Constructivism
    1) Learners construct understanding
    They see learners as a active thinkers who
    interpret new information based on what they
    already know. They construct knowledge in a way
    that make sense to them.
    2) New learning depends on current
    understanding
    Background information is very important. It
    is through the present views or scheme that the
    learner has that new information will be
    interpreted.
    3) Learning is facilitated by social interaction
    Constructivists believe in creating a
    “community of learners” within classrooms.
    Learning communities help learners take
    responsibility for their own learning.
    4) Meaningful learning occurs within authentic
    learning tasks
    An authentic task is one that involves a
    learning activity that involves constructing
    knowledge and understanding that is so akin to the
    knowledge and understanding needed when applied
    in the real world.
    Organizing Knowledge
    CONCEPTS-is a way of grouping or categorizing
    objects or events in our mind.

    CONCEPTS AS FEATURE LISTS.


    Learning a concept involves learning specific
    features that characterize positive instance of the concept.
    • Defining Feature is a characteristic present in ALL
    instances.

    • Correlational Feature is one that is present in many


    positive instances but not essential for concept
    membership.
    CONCEPTS AS PROTOTYPES
    Prototype is an idea or visual image of a “typical”
    example. It is usually formed based on the positive
    instances that learners encounter most often.
    CONCEPTS AS EXEMPLARS
    Exemplars represent a variety of examples. It
    allows learners to know that an example under a
    concept may have variability.
    Making Concept Learning Effective
    • Provide a clear definition of a concept
    • Make the defining features very concrete and prominent
    • Give a variety of positive instances
    • Give negative instances
    • Cite a “best example” or a prototype
    • Provide opportunity to learners to identify positive and
    negative instances
    • Ask learners to think of their own example of the concept
    • Point out how concepts can be related to each other
    SCHEMAS AND SCRIPTS
    Schema is an organized body of knowledge
    about something. It is like a file of information you
    hold in your mind about something.
    Script is a schema that includes a series of
    predictable events about a specific activity.
    Applying Constructivism in
    Facilitating Learning
    • Aim to make learners understand a few key ideas in an in-
    depth manner, rather than taking up so many topics
    superficially
    • Give varied examples
    • Provide opportunities for experimentation
    • Provide lots of opportunities for quality interaction
    • Have a lots of hands on activities
    • Relate your topic to real life situations
    • Do not depend on the explanation method all the time
