Baviskar, Sandhya N.; Hartle, R. Todd; Whitney, Tiffany – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
Constructivism is an important theory of learning that is used to guide the development of new teaching methods, particularly in science education. However, because it is a theory of learning and not of teaching, constructivism is often either misused or misunderstood. Here we describe the four essential features of constructivism: eliciting prior…
