Role of The Student
The Role of the Student: A Comparative Analysis
When learning about the role of the student within a constructivist perspective it is necessary to reflect on the traditional classroom, in order to understand how students construct meaning today.
Constructivism is considered to be a theory of learning, where the teacher acts as a facilitator while the student's role is one of active participation, where they seek information and build new knowledge through meaningful learning engagements.
