The Limitations of Constructivism



Food For Thought:

* Does your school or district promote constructivist teaching methods? If so, what are some challenges you have experienced with its implementation?

* Do you believe collegiate institutions are adequately preparing future teachers for constructivist roles in the classroom? If not, where do the changes need to be made?

* What are your personal thoughts and opinions regarding the negative impact constructivist methods can have on students with disabilities?

  1. I was surprised to hear that some people think teachers have to be trained in psychology to use constructivist methods in the classroom. That never occurred to me and I use constructivism regularly.

  2. I know, Anna. It does seem a bit off. It's true though- at least that's what the experts claim. I researched the pro side of this issue and still came across many articles which alluded to it. *Nat*
