Constructivism Learning Building Students Confident

The most interesting idea I have encountered in reading Goodman’s text is learning more about the use of the learning theory called Constructivism. Constructivism is a learning theory, which is based on new knowledge learned to build on top of students existing knowledge. Students will benefit from using existing knowledge to help establish the foundation for new knowledge to be learned. All students can and will benefit from Constructivism learning especially if teachers get to know their students and how to integrate what they know about their students into their teaching. By approaching this process; teachers can use Constructivist learning to build on students knowledge to motivate them so they can feel more confident in learning. Teachers have to understand when using Constructivist learning there are different ways student learn. Each student may not have the same amount of knowledge but we as Educators can build on what they already know. My idea about constructivist learning helps all students not feel out of place and are treated equally because teachers are building on what is already learned from each student and how to enhance their prior knowledge. This is away for students to move on to the next level on what they already know. Constructivism also elaborates more on peer-to-peer learning to create social development skills and collaboration in-group assignments.  When students feel comfortable to learn they tend to concentrate and think more about the instruction being taught. Constructivism gives students possession on what they are learning and the creativity to develop their own appreciation of knowledge in different ways.  While this process is being done students are more likely to remember the information and apply it to real life situations.
