Constructivist Theory

HI Folks, this concept terms scaffolding within this content I most closely associate with Constructivist learning theory. The concept of course is that new learning is built upon previous knowledge and learning.

david,

Ah - noting the layers of learning is important. It brings up the idea of scaffolding. Thanks.

I Agree because I have seen in my experience that people tend to learn in layers and we must be there to provide the correct layers of information to build a good foundation to the lessons that will be awaiting the student in the future.

Elaina,

Thanks for bringing that up. We do need to understand that students do need to build upon previous knowledge. Thanks again for your input.
