Constructivism
When we began to deal with this idea in class the word seemed very familiar to me. I knew that I had heard it some place before. It didn't take me long to figure out that this word had came up a variety of times in a variety of my classes.
Basically Constructivism exhibits the qualities of an Early Childhood classroom.
As an early childhood teacher I want to give to my students all of the ideals that Constructivism relishes. I want my students to be able to explore learning. I want them to come to understandings on their own. The job of the early childhood teacher is to be the guide. We provide the tools and lead are students towards the UNDERSTANDING.
