Students

  • Children learn more, and enjoy learning more when they are actively involved, rather than passive listeners.
  • Education works best when it concentrates on thinking and understanding, rather than on rote memorization.
  • Constructivist learning is transferable. In constructivist classrooms, students create organizing principles that they can take with them to other learning settings.
  • Constructivist learning gives students ownership of what they learn.
  • By grounding learning activities in an authentic, real-world context, constructivist learning stimulates and engages students. Students in constructivist classrooms learn to question things and to apply their natural curiosity to the world.
  • Constructivist learning promotes social and communication skills by creating a classroom environment that emphasizes collaboration and exchange of ideas.
  • Whole Child approach teaches all areas of a child including the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. These areas are all important and interconnected.
