what is the constructivist theory of learning
(1) Learning occurs when people construct their own knowledge by connecting new information with prior knowledge; (2) Learning grows out of social interaction; (3) Learning lasts when learners are actively engaged with information. Lectures can be part of a constructivist based lesson as long as it addresses these tenets. Certain practices such as well structured group work, reflection, and think-pair-share are also often reflective of constructivist theory.
