Reflection

As I go through the principles one thing that I see and experience is that Constructivism is learner centered and is an active construction of knowledge by the learners, while teachers “merely” facilitate and guide learning. In most situation teacher’s side is to teach / facilitate and student’s side is the learning, as we teacher we are more knowledgeable to guide them in their learning including at times the students might misinterpret the information we are there to correct them.

During my elementary days were I studied in a public school I experience that education is mostly instructional and less of group activities were we might be able to learn with others so, from that experience I like to incorporate group, partners and scaffolding in my teaching style because I want my students to learn from others while they are growing as well in the knowledge that they have through scaffolding.
