Some assumptions of constructivism run completely against the grain of basic western, and some eastern, cultural belief systems and educational traditions. Grading procedure, placement testing, and even registration for classes on a discipline basis, are the adminstrative essence of most of the academic world. There is evidence to move Teachers, Instructional Designers, and Administrators toward the development of learning environments . A major shift. Constructivism cannot function within our system of discipline distinctions.
Current curricula are discipline based, and grounded in the notion of passing information on.
Constructivism within the confines of the current system is a total mismatch. In the prevailing system the very definition of objectivism controls the methodology of the pedagogy. Constructivism in the undefined limits of virtual space frees pedagogy. Perhaps replacing sequence hierarchical analysis with pointed contexts and coaching assistance. A More Ambitious Agenda.
