Constructivism: A Holistic Approach to Teaching and Learning

Constructivism is about how students learn - that students construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiences and by reflecting on those experiences. Instructors help make connections between facts and ways learners ask questions, explore options, and assess prior knowledge. This online workshop offered 9/25/2008 provides an overview of constructivism and ways instructors can use this approach in teaching and students in their learning.
