Objectives• Define what is constructivism• Define cognitive-constructivism• Define socio-constructivism• Recall six implications of constructivism in

online learning• Recall four Instructional design implications in

constructivist learning• Evaluation in constructivist learning

What is constructivism?

• Knowledge is not passive• Learning is actively built on previous

knowledge• Learner-centered• Scaffolding• contextual learning

Page 4: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

What is cognitive constructivism?• Theory developed by Jean Piaget• Learning is an active process of assimilation

and accommodation Active Experience Making errors

Looking for solutions

Page 5: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

What is cognitive constructivism?• Learning should be

Whole Real life

Authentic

Page 6: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

What is socio-constructivist?

• Theory developed by Lev Vygotsky• Learning and development is social

Page 7: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

What is socio-constructivist?

• Zone of Proximal Development as guide for curriculum & lessons

Page 8: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

What is socio-constructivist?• Learning should occur in meaningful context

• Out of school experience must be related to experience in the course

What Should I choose

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Meaningful material to learners– examples that relate to students– help to apply and personalise information

I can relate to this

Content

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Meaningful activities – to develop high level processing– to facilitate creation of personalised meaningExample -Forum Discussion

Page 11: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Knowledge construction is facilitated with interactive online instruction– Learner experiences information first - hand– then contextualised and personalise information

Page 12: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Collaborative and cooperative learning should be encouraged– Individual team members learn from one

another’s strength

Page 13: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Control of Learning process to the learner– guidance by instructor

Page 14: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Implications of constructivist in online learning

• Time and opportunity for learners to reflect

Opportunity

Page 15: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Instructional design implications of constructivist learning

• Active learning– Need for discovery learning

• Without information Given (WIG)• Beyond Information Given (BIG)

Page 16: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Instructional design implications of constructivist learning

• Authentic Learning– Simulate and recreate real life complexities and

occurrences (games)– Cognitive apprenticeship– Situated learning

Page 17: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Instructional design implications of constructivist learning

• Multiple Perspectives– Multiple and Alternative views to learner– Multiple learning styles– Multiple representatives of knowledge

Page 18: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Instructional design implications of constructivist learning

• Collaborative Learning– Develop, compare and understand multiple views

Page 19: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Evaluation in constructivist Learning

• Ability to explain and defend decisions– Discuss on activities– Reflect on effort

Page 20: Constructivist Learning  ( HMLT 5203)

Evaluation in constructivist Learning

• Development of – meta-cognitive skills – Self reflexive processes
