constructionism......(w9)

Seymour Papert defines that 

"The word constructionism is a mnemonic for two aspects of the theory of science education underlying this project. From constructivist theories of psychology we take a view of learning as a reconstruction rather than as a transmission of knowledge. Then we extend the idea of manipulative materials to the idea that learning is most effective when part of an activity the learner experiences as constructing a meaningful product."

CONSTRUCTIONISM

• learning occurs "most felicitously" when constructing a public artifact
• more about methods
• constructing i a good way to get mental constructions build
• learning by making or create something
• learning is most effective when the learner experiences as constructing a meaningful product 

Constructivism is deeper in its application, than could be conveyed by any such formula

Let students play around with things. Let them try to do something or taste it. 

For example, they make construction such as build sand castle or by using their toys. LEGO or puzzle.

Students will get satisfaction when they do their own construction.
