constructivism

Analyzing what I have seen during these years at the University about constructivism I can say that it is a good approach in order to teach and help students to “learn how to learn”. Throughout this line of thought, I can notice how important teacher guidance is in terms of building students` knowledge together. However, is extremely important bear in mind that sometimes we need to mix this method with others according to our students needs. For example, if there are students who learn in a more structured way we need to make some changes in our method. Finally I would like to say that teaching and learning must be flexible, no matter what method we are focused on.
