Constructivism

Abstract: A 3 page paper providing a personal view of the value of the constructivist approach to education and personal assessment of two statements of Ernst von Glasserfeld, who coined the term "radical constructivism." An accompanying 12-slide PowerPoint presentation compares radical, social and cognitive constructivism and identifies their primary theorists (von Glasserfeld, Vygotsky and Bruner, respectively) and uses the example of the success of the Montessori method (cognitive constructivism) over the course of nearly a century). Bibliography lists 4 sources.
