We all know how they work. Now, back to the main subject. This poor use of computers ignores the potential of technology in the classroom. The computer is the greatest tool ever made. Behaviorism does not emphasize the problem solving and individualized learning process, two things the computer is designed to do.
Constructivism builds off of problem solving and individualized learning.
The theory of constructivism calls on the students to construct knowledge by researching, experimenting, and collaborating with peers. It stresses student empowerment and student-centered learning over teacher or textbook prescribed homework. Teachers in constructivist classrooms act as facilitators and coaches, not as the primary source of all knowledge. Students are taught to research information and create their own knowledge from their findings. The rewards for a finished project are ownership, confidence, and achievement.
