Study Notes
Constructivism
- Constructivism is a learning theory that emphasizes the learner's active role in constructing knowledge.
- John Dewey is a key figure in constructivism, advocating for student-centered learning methods.
-
Underlying principles:
- Learners construct their own knowledge based on their unique experiences.
- Learning occurs through exploration, experimentation, and making connections.
- Active learning is crucial (seeing, doing, connecting).
-
Teacher's role:
- Create engaging and meaningful learning activities that align with student interests.
- Provide diverse resources for learners to construct their understanding.
- Foster a collaborative and respectful learning environment.
Multiple Intelligences
- Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences proposes that individuals possess eight (potentially nine) distinct intelligences.
-
Eight Intelligences:
- Verbal/Linguistic: Ability to use language effectively in communication.
- Logical/Mathematical: Ability to think logically and solve problems using reasoning.
- Intrapersonal: Understanding of one's own emotions, strengths, and weaknesses.
- Visual/Spatial: Ability to understand and manipulate spatial relationships.
- Musical: Ability to perceive and create musical patterns.
- Bodily-Kinesthetic: Ability to use one's body effectively for physical expression and problem-solving.
- Interpersonal: Ability to understand and interact effectively with others.
- Naturalist: Ability to recognize and classify elements of the natural world.
- Key Idea: Individuals may have different strengths in these intelligences, and understanding these strengths helps tailor learning experiences.
