EDUC 630 - Constructivist Classroom

3 Credits

How do teachers manage the transition from being the “sage on the stage” to the “guide on the side” when helping students to construct knowledge for themselves rather than receiving it ready-made from others? This course examines contemporary views of cognition that suggest learning is negotiated, distributed, situated, constructed, developmental, and affective. It simultaneously explores the research base for managing transactional classrooms. (Three credits; Summer of Odd-Numbered Years; Zales.)
