constructivist models

Inquiry learning

Students construct understanding based on "need or want to know"
Teachers arouse the curiosity of students and offer chances for students to pose questions.

Keys: All learning activities should focus on using information-processing skills Inquiry learning puts the learner at the center of an active learning process The role of the teacher becomes one of facilitating the learning process

Importance: Through the process of inquiry, individuals construct much of their understanding of the natural and human-designed worlds.

Project-based learning

Students work in groups seeking several sources of information and creating authentic products.
Teachers define the problem and identify action steps.

Keys: Establishing Real-World Connections in Projects Building rigorous projects That Are Core to Learning Structuring Collaboration for Student Success Facilitating Learning in a Student-Driven Environment Embedding Assessment Throughout the Project

Importance: It's an in-depth investigation of a real-world topic worthy of children’s attention and effort, which helps students develop skills for living in a knowledge-based, highly technological society.

Problem-based learning

Students develop solutions to complex and specific problems.
Students identify action steps and create a solution.

Keys: A problem acts as the focus of learning The problem provides integration of many concepts and skills required in the resolution of the problem A problem solving process is required A commitment to self-learning is required

Importance: Through the process of problem-based learning, students become aware of a need for knowledge as they work to resolve the problems.
