Constructivism seems to be synonymous with partnering. These last two weeks are the first time I ever heard the term constructivism but I knew exactly what it was because it's pretty much the same thing that we have been reading in our textbook since the beginning. The constructivist approach is definitely one that I want to try to incorporate into my future classroom. I like the idea of having students work primarily in groups and giving them the chance to explore and build their own connections to the world. I wish that my teachers had used this approach more. I have never been very good at sitting and listening and taking notes while remembering the material. The traditional approach is not the one I want to use and I hope I do not let myself use this approach as my primary means of teaching.
