Session Objectives
• Identify the different pedagogical
principles in which the K-12 curriculum is
founded
• Identify the different constructivist
approaches and the ways in which ICT
can enhance this approach in developing
the 21st century skills of learners
• Design activities (using the constructivist
approach) to concretize these approaches

person designed to enhance
learning in another” (Watkins
and Mortimer, 1999).

activities of teaching
(Cambridge Dictionary).

CHILDREN:
• think very differently
than adults
• are active learners but
need to be guided
properly
• construct new
knowledge as they
move through
different cognitive
stages
9| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
John Dewey
• Learning should
engage and expand
the experiences of
learners.
• Education is a social
process
• Students learn by
doing and should be
allowed to construct,
create, and actively
inquire

Lev Vygotsky
• Social Cognition – learning took
place within the context of a
child’s social development and
culture
• Scaffolding – Discovering the level
of each child’s cognitive/ social
development, and build or
construct their learning
experiences from that point
• Schemata – an organized way of
creating or providing a cognitive
mental framework for
understanding and remembering
information

• Learn through
discovery
• New ideas are
based on current
or past
knowledge
• Instruction based
on Cognition

Constructivism
• Learning is an active process
• People discover how to learn
as they learn
• Crucial action of constructing
meaning is mental
• Learning involves language
• Learning is a social activity

14| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Constructivism

learn

component in learning
• Learning is not
instantaneous

learners to share and
reconcile multiple
dissonant perspectives
or strategies and find
synergistic solutions

18| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Constructivism

interpretations and models that
enables the learner to
systematically revisit, rearrange

different conceptual
perspectives.

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10533
SEC. 5. Curriculum Development
The DepED shall adhere to the following
standards and principles in developing the
enhanced basic education curriculum:

(e) The curriculum shall use pedagogical


approaches that are constructivist,
inquiry-based, reflective, collaborative
and integrative

27| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


INQUIRY-BASED

Students use inquiry methods


to:
• ask questions,
• investigate a topic, and
• use a variety of resources
to find solutions and
answers.
28| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
INQUIRY-BASED
As students explore the topic,
they draw conclusions, and, as
exploration continues, they
revisit those conclusions.
Exploration of questions leads to
more questions.

29| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


REFLECTIVE
• Students control their own
learning process, and they
lead the way by reflecting on
their experiences.
• They become experts of their
own learning through this
process.
30| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
REFLECTIVE
• In reflective teaching,
talking about what was
learned and how it was
learned is really
important.
31| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
COLLABORATIVE
• The constructivist classroom relies heavily
on collaboration among students.
• Students learn about learning not only from
themselves, but also from their peers.
• When students review and reflect on their
learning processes together, they can pick
up strategies and methods from one
another.

32| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


INTEGRATIVE
Integrative learning is linked to the
classical tradition of educating the
"whole" person: encouraging
"breadth of outlook, a capacity to
see connections and hence an
ability to make fundamental
decisions and judgments"
(Rothblatt 1993:28).
33| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
INTEGRATIVE
• Integrative learning requires the
teaching of intentional learning
(taking a deliberative and
reflexive stance towards
knowledge acquisition).

34| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


INTEGRATIVE

• Integrative learning leads


students to synthesize learning
from a wide array of sources,
learn from experience, and
make significant and productive
connections between theory
and practice.
35| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
INTEGRATIVE

• This approach to teaching and


learning is necessary in today's
world where technology and
globalization transform
knowledge practices in all
disciplines and professions.

36| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


SPECIFIC
CONSTRUCTIVIST
APPROACHES

37| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Guided Instruction

• A learning approach in which


the educator uses strategically
placed prompts, cues,
questions, direct explanations,
and modeling to guide student
thinking and facilitate an
increased responsibility for the
completion of a task.
- Fisher & Frey, 2010
38| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
Inquiry-Based Learning

• An educational approach
associated with problem-
based learning in which the
students learn through
investigating issues or
scenarios (Hakverdi-Can & Sonmez,
2012).

39| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Inquiry-Based Learning

• In this approach, students


pose and answer questions
individually and/or
collaboratively in order to
draw conclusions regarding
the specific issues or scenarios
-Hakverdi-Can & Sonmez, 2012

40| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Anchored Instruction
• An educational approach associated with
problem-based learning in which the
educator introduces an ‘anchor’ or
theme in which students will be able to
explore (Kariuki & Duran, 2004).
• The ‘anchor’ acts as a focal point for the
entire task, allowing students to identify,
define, and explore problems while
exploring the topic from a variety of
different perspectives (Kariuki & Duran,
2004).
41| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
Anchored Instruction
• An educational approach

42| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1
Problem-Based Learning

A structured educational
approach that begins with an
educator presenting a series
of carefully constructed
problems or issues to small
groups of students.
-Schmidt & Loyens, 2007

DepEd on Differentiated Instruction

• DepEd Order No. 72 (2009)- asserting the


critical role of differentiated instruction in
increasing the school participation rate of
children
• ‘curriculum modifications shall be implemented
in the forms of adaptations and
accommodations to foster optimum learning
based on individual’s needs and potentials’

47| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


What is Differentiated Instruction?

a way to provide increased


set of different instructional
activities to address the
increasingly diverse learning
needs of students in today’s
classrooms

Tomlinson, 1999
The Differentiated Classroom:
Responding to the Needs of all Learners

48| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


What is Differentiated Instruction?
• Practice of adapting
instruction to meet the
needs of particular
students.

• Teachers adapting
their curriculum and
instructional
approaches so each
student can learn up
to his or her potential.
(Arends, 2009)

EDUCATION
Use of ICT to Enhance Constructivism
• In education, computers can be used
to enhance constructivist approaches
in the classroom by developing
programs, computer-assisted
instruction, drills, and tutorials
• Social networking sites can be used
for forum or group discussion where
a lot of ideas are being expressed by
the students
• There are also sites in which students
can create their own portfolio, scrap
book, journals and the like

52| School Heads Development Program: Foundation COURSE | MODULE 1


Use of ICT to Enhance Constructivism
• Integrating ICTs with tools that support
constructivist learning increases a
learner’s ability to participate in “peer
interactions, group reflection and
discussion” (Santally et al., 2012, p. 8) in a variety of
social-web formats to support constructivist learning (Tsai,
2008).

• Online social learning environments


designed using constructivist
framework allow students to “present
their views and critically analyze the
views of others” beyond a classroom
context (Gazi, 2009, p. 69).

QUOTE
“As long as there were people
asking each other questions, we
have had constructivist
classrooms. Constructivism, the
study of learning, is about how
we all make sense of our world,
and that really hasn't changed."
-Jacqueline Grennan Brooks (1999)
