Constructivism and Block Scheduling: Making the Connection
Hackmann, Donald G.
Phi Delta Kappan, v85 n9 p697 May 2004
The student-centered learning practices associated with constructivism could benefit from the increased class time that block scheduling offers. But, in this article, the author observes, too often block scheduling is adopted as an end in itself, not as a tool to facilitate a specific pedagogical approach. The author expands on his observation in this article. (Contains 38 endnotes.)
