What is Constructivism? Basically a theory, based on observation & scientific study about how people learn. While when it comes to the classroom it means encouraging students to use different techniques to create more knowledge on their topic. Teachers will see where their students stand with their knowledge of the topic and at the end of the lesson ask questions to help build their knowledge. The foundational theorists for constructivism would include John Dewey, Bruner, Piaget, and Vygotsky. Dewey has always been shown as the philosophical founder of constructivism. While Bruner & Piaget are known as the chief theorists among cognitive constructivists.
