I have read and understand the policies of Viterbo College regarding academic honesty. I assert this represents my own work and adheres to college policies. Your signature is saying that the statement is true so please be sure you understand the policies. If you are unsure about anything, please talk to me about it. Some of you may have had mathematics courses that were based on the transmission, or absorption, view of teaching and learning.
Teaching consists of transmitting sets of established facts, skills, and concepts to students.
I do not accept this view. I am a constructivist. Constructivists believe that knowledge is actively created or invented by the person, not passively received from the environment. No one true reality exists, only individual interpretations of the world. These interpretations are shaped by experience and social interactions.
