costructivism in learning teaching

Date April 2, 2009
Dear teachers,
We all are interested in improving quality of esducation. One important way is to improve learning teaching process in schools. Most of the teachers use traditional approach which is teacher dominated and content oriented. But now there should be change in the process. If students are to be prepared for 21st century, they need to develop learning skills, cooperation, and self confidence. This can be obntained through using constructivism. Constructivistic approach provides scope for inductive thinking, self learning and hypotheses testing through interactions with peers, teachers and also learning material. I think we teachers need to work more on this concept, try to understand methods to make students learn by themselves and change our traditional role as a teacher.
