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.

I have not experienced this type of approach. I could see in a small homeschool type setting how this approach would be very appealing. When you only have a few students it doesn’t seem to take as learn to do a lesson and activity and therefore that leaves a lot of time to be flexible. However, in a setting with many students who all learn very differently and all have different interests it could be a real challenge.

I have not see or heard about this approach until today.

I have not had any experienced this type of approach. I have read about it. I have maybe experienced some form of it in homeschooling approaches, but more toward a traditional approach than full swing constructivist. I could predict that this could lead to lazy behavior or avoidance. Students need some structure. They will resist but really need it to grow. We all do.
