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 cannot say that I have observed or been confronted by students with paramount say in academics. As a teacher and a mom, there was curriculum to cover and a textbook to follow. Sometimes there are standardized tests to prepare for. The main choices I gave in class were topics for projects and type of visual support for the presentation. I do agree that not everything required in school is pleasant, but it does contribute to knowledge and understanding.

I have not heard about this until recently.

I believe a constructivist approach is a great opportunity for many students to learn hands on. I had the opportunity to work in a Montessori School where I met many students that learned through this approach. I also met a few students that did not benefit from this approach. I believe it did not work for them because they needed a structure, directions, a normal classroom setting, etc.

I have not experienced this.

I have little to no experience with constructivism in education. The Christian school system that I have been in has stayed with traditional educational processes.
