5. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 5 The Learning Cycle

6. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 6 Constructivism At its simplest: Learning takes place through experience Learning takes place in a social environment

7. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 7 Constructivism Constructivism does not claim to have made earth-shaking inventions in the area of education; it merely claims to provide a solid conceptual basis for some of the things that, until now, inspired teachers had to do without theoretical foundation. Ernst von Glasersfeld [1995].

8. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 8 Constructivism ..mathematics and science are viewed as systems with models that describe how the world might be rather than how it is. These models derive their validity not from their accuracy in describing the world, but from the accuracy of any predictions which might be based on them (Hanley, 1994, p.4).

9. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 9 Pre/Misconceptions People will construct a set of concepts in order to make sense of what they observe. Examples: A Private Universe in Physics in Teaching/Textbooks

10. Phil Brookhouse(MLTI) Irving ISD 1-to-1 Symposium 10 So, Our Job is To: Identify student pre/misconceptions Provide environment/experience Facilitate cognitive adjustments Guide reflection/evaluation
