Student Centered Learning
•Students building their own knowledge through:
–Experimentation
–Inquiry
–Problem-solving
–Decision-making
–Communication
During constructivist activities, an essential question is presented to an individual or a group for thoughts and discussion. If students are working as a team, they go forth to find information about issues that surface during their discussion time. As a team, students assign roles and identify jobs that need to be completed for the benefit of the whole group. Ultimately, they tap into their current understanding and journey forward to new understandings through a continuous cycle of inquiry and exploration.
