reflection 3

It is not easy to understand this day how things work. As technology advances, more questions need to be answered and more problems need to be solved. Our schools have a responsibility to make our student into a tool for the future. Our student has to be ready to face any challenges thrown their way, such as; making good discussion, reading between the lines, inventing something useful and not being afraid to ask questions and having a solution. Instead of working at our own pace, we need skillful people that work efficiently with other in any industrial. How could our school prepare student to face those challenges? It is easy. There are different models of learning that could help us achieve this goal. One of them are the constructivism theory. It is a model for learning where each student has to be involved in any realization. In this method, we pose a problem that students have to solve in their own manner. Unlike the behaviorism method where the teacher is centered in this method, teachers have to describe the process of how the student solves the problem. It is the teacher responsibility to describe what they want and how that the student obtain the information. Students have to work together to find a solution to the problem or situation given. We consider this process of learning as a plan of collaborating. The classroom should be designed to activate student to learning process and getting them involved. Each student is required to participate in every activity. Students in this method are considered as the base of knowledge or shapers of meaning.
