Constructivism facilitates learning by allowing students to construct their own knowledge through exploration and hands-on activities rather than direct instruction. Teachers provide a variety of examples and opportunities for interaction and experimentation to help students develop strong abilities to integrate new information and construct meaning on their own. Strategies to promote knowledge construction include discovery learning, sharing ideas with others, and active social interaction that allows students to shape and refine their understanding together. Facilitating concept learning involves providing clear definitions, examples and non-examples, opportunities to identify instances, and relating concepts to each other.

1. Explain the role of constructivism in facilitating learning.

ANSWER: Constructivism focuses on knowledge construction.


Constructivist teacher help the learners to construct their own knowledge
such that they have a well-organized set of concepts. Applying constructivism
in facilitating learning aim to make learners understand a few key ideas in an
in-depth manner, rather than taking up so many topics superficially. Students
in the constructivist classroom ideally become "expert learners." This gives
them ever-broadening tools to keep learning. With a well-planned classroom
environment, the students learn how to learn, by giving them varied
examples, providing opportunities for experimentation, provide lots of
opportunities for quality interaction, having hands-on activities, and relating
topics to real life situations students find their ideas gaining in complexity and
power, and they develop increasingly strong abilities to integrate new
information and construct their own meaning.

2. Describe strategies to promote knowledge construction .

ANSWER:Teachers promote knowledge construction in learners through


allowing them to discover principles through their own exploration rather
than purely direct instruction by the teacher also by letting them to share
knowledge with others or by providing active interaction with others where
they can be able to interact and share among learners which help to shape
and refine their ideas. Thus, knowledge construction becomes social, not
individual. 3. Describe strategies to facilitate concept learning. As a future
teacher, we have to think of ways of how can we help the students to learn
concepts and these may include providing a clear definition of concept,
making the defining features very concrete and prominent, giving a variety of
positive instances, giving negative instances, Cite a “best example” or a
prototype, Providing opportunity for learners to identify positive and negative
instances, asking learners to think of their own example of the concept, and
point out how concepts can be related to each other.
