Constructivism is the theory that students actively make their won knowledge and that reality is determined by the learner's experiences. A constructivist classroom is learner based rather than instructor based. The teacher acts as a mediator and guides students to knowledge rather than filling their heads with facts. In this type of classroom, students often work in group and relate the material to real world problems and events.As a future social science teacher, it would be very easy to implement the constructivist theory into my own classroom. History is very easy to relate to the real world and students can easily use past events to relate to what is going on in the world today. I also like that the teacher is not the authoritative and direct figure head in a constructivist classroom. Rather than fill my student's head with facts, I have always like the idea of guiding them to knowledge and acting as a mediator in lessons. I will definitely be using this theory in the future.
