Pedagogy

I had been reading about Constructivism from this week's reading and I realize that it is based off from being able to allow student experience/experiment first and the be able to reflect from it. I do believe, while doing independent work, this is the kind of pedagogical method I will be using in the class setting and their grade is mostly dependent on their reflection. The reflection allows me to see what they do or do not understand yet. This is broken down more on the KNWS from the mini tasks given to the students (under activities in the assessments). However, I do believe overall, the classroom is more based from social constructivism.

Social constructivism, is more of an added bonus on to constructivism itself. The difference, I would say, would be the collaboration and group work interaction conducted through this pedagogical method. This method is what I believe allows the students to keep expanding and developing even greater skill sets. This will be seen more when you notice how much prior knowledge the student knew or understand, then later the student able to explain what they have additionally learned (when discussing and working with their groups). This is the kind of skill and strategy needed for inside and outside of their education, they will notice of use of it later in the work field and it's importance.
