Constructionism and Instructionism
I have just read an article entitled “Constructionism vs Instructionism” which discusses the need for students to be learning through constructing their own ideas about learning rather than just following instructions.The article states that “teaching is important, but learning is much more important”. This suggests that teachers should be enabling students to learn and to constructs things for themselves rather than just teaching them all our thoughts and ideas.
In terms of computer use, teachers should be using computers for interactive learning rather than a tool for instruction.
Students can learn a great deal through using the computer, participating in activities on the computer and sharing their work with their classmates and the wider community.
