Constructivist Theory .......Answer.........A philosophy based on the
premise that people construct their own understanding of the
world they live in through reflection on experiences.
Constructivist Theory in Practice .......Answer.........For example:
Groups of students in a science class are discussing a problem in
physics. Though the teacher knows the "answer" to the problem,
she focuses on helping students restate their questions in useful
ways. She prompts each student to reflect on and examine his or
her current knowledge. When one of the students comes up with
the relevant concept, the teacher seizes upon it, and indicates to
,age 2 of 60
the group that this might be a fruitful avenue for them to
explore. They design and perform relevant experiments.
Afterward, the students and teacher talk about what they have
learned, and how their observations and experiments helped (or
did not help) them to better understand the concept.
Cognitive-constructivist view of reading .......Answer.........Aim to
assist students in assimilating new information to existing
knowledge, as well as enabling them to make the appropriate
accommodations to their existing intellectual framework to
accommodate that information. Ex. Because of Winn-Dixie; from
her inference, and active knowledge of the text says that
people who have things in common often become friends.
Socio-cultural theory/Ex. .......Answer.........Extends the influence
on the cognitive-constructivist view out from the reader and the
text into the larger social realm. Learning is viewed as social

rather than individual. -Lev Vygotsky Ex. Understanding the
zone of proximal development can be helpful for teachers.
In classroom settings, teachers may first assess students to
determine their current skill level. Educators can then offer
instruction that stretches the limits of each child's capabilities.
At first, the student may need assistance from an adult or a more
knowledgeable peer, but eventually, their zone of proximal
development will expand. Teachers can help promote this
expansion by:
Planning and organizing their instruction and lessons: For
example, the teacher might organize the class into groups where
less skilled children are paired with students who have a higher
skill level.
, age 4 of 60
Using hints, prompts, and direct instruction to help kids improve
their ability levels.
Scaffolding, where the teacher provides specific prompts to
move the child progressively forward toward a goal.
Reader Response Theory .......Answer.........The main argument of
reader-response theory is that readers, as much as the text,
play an active role in a reading experience (Rosenblatt, 1994).
This theory rejects the structuralist view that meaning resides
solely in the text. Words in a text evoke images in readers'
minds and readers bring their experiences to this encounter.
Experiential Learning .......Answer.........As the name suggests,
experiential learning involves learning from experience. The
theory was proposed by psychologist David Kolb who was
