Grant University of Memphis Abstract A complementary relationship exists between technology and constructivism, the implementation of each one benefiting the other. Constructivism is a doctrine stating that learning takes place in contexts, while technology refers to the designs and environments that engage learners. (14)Constructivism and technology. (13) Constructivist Theory (Jerome Bruner) - InstructionalDesign.org. A major theme in the theoretical framework of Bruner is that learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge.

The learner selects and transforms information, constructs hypotheses, and makes decisions, relying on a cognitive structure to do so. Cognitive structure (i.e., schema, mental models) provides meaning and organization to experiences and allows the individual to “go beyond the information given”. As far as instruction is concerned, the instructor should try and encourage students to discover principles by themselves. The instructor and student should engage in an active dialog (i.e., socratic learning).

Constructivism is the theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. As people experience the world and reflect upon those experiences, they build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge (schemas). Related to this are the processes of assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation refers to the process of taking new information and fitting it into an existing schema.Accommodation refers to using newly acquired information to revise and redevelop an existing schema.

(4) What Is Constructivism? It’s important to understand how teachers can apply constructivism inside their classroom to create a unique learning environment for students.

(4) What Is Constructivism?

In constructivist classrooms, the teacher has a role to create a collaborative environment where students are actively involved in their own learning. Teachers are more facilitators of learning than actual instructors. Teachers must work to understand the preexisting conceptions and understanding of students, then work to incorporate knowledge within those areas.

Teachers will also need to adjust their teaching to match the learner’s level of understanding. Constructivist classrooms rely on four key areas to be successful: (5) theapplication of constructivist learning theory. (6)Role of constructivist learning theory.
