Have you in your own education, your children’s education, or in a school you’ve taught at experienced a constructivist approach to education? If so, describe some of the impact (positive or negative) you experienced/witnessed.
-
No, I have not experienced this approach.
-
I have been through public schools my whole life. I feel the impact of the negative would be not teaching a Biblical worldview. As for the constructivist approach I was in many classrooms which just took a traditional approach.
-
No, I haven’t experienced a constructivist approach to education yet.
-
In my degrees, I have seen the constructivist approach. In most cases, I avoided it personally but I saw how it led others astray by putting individuals at the center of the universe so to speak. Everything is relative in their minds and that is not true.

I have at times experienced constructivism where the parent thought it was the teacher’s fault that there child did not learn a particular lesson. They would send a long email critiquing everything in their mind that the teacher did wrong and how things had to be adjusted to fit their child’s needs. Also at times, even the students felt like they could debate whether or not any work was done in the classroom.
