I have tried constructivism while teaching educational psychology to student teachers in my class. While dealing with the topic information processing model, student teachers were asked to do some activites and present the results. The class then discussed the results and generalised some important principles.
The activities are given below-
1. comparing retention of meaningful and meaningless material
2. comparing retention of grouped and ungrouped content
3. taking quick survey of news from news paper that are attended by various persons, and reasons for attending
4. how persons prepare summaries of the content they have learnt and comparison of the key terms identified by each person and the organisations each one has used
5 what tricks people are using to memorise complex material
