CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The core of the constructivist approach to teaching and learning as expounded by von Glaserfeld is that the student or the learner is an active participant in the learning process and that the teacher has to take account of that in the teacher’s effort to facilitate learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -Constructivism transforms the student from a passive recipient of information to an active participant in the learning process. Always guided by the teacher, students construct their knowledge actively rather than just mechanically ingesting knowledge from the teacher or the textbook.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a constructivist classroom the student becomes the centre of attention. Learning revolves around them and uses their personal skills and level to drive the lesson progression and content. In order to challenge themselves, students need to know how to influence their ideas and elicit change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Constructivism is the theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. As people experience the world and reflect upon those experiences, they build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge (schemas).

Detailed explanation-5: -Active learning is an instructional approach in which students actively participate in the learning process, as opposed to sitting quietly and listening. Active learning builds on constructivist learning theory, which posits that people learn by by connecting new ideas and experiences to what they already know.
