MY TAKE ON CONSTRUCTIVISM

Constructivist education is providing a framework for your students in which they can learn part by instruction and part by experience.

At its deepest level constructivist education teaches a student to teach themselves. In this way they are able to comprehend how they themselves best learn ie Gardeners theory of multiple intelligences - kinesthetic, image based learning, logically, musically etc...

Constructivist education means setting a task for your students which engages them on the most appropriate level by which they can learn. For drama, contructivist theory is the ultimate pedagogical paradigm in which a student can learn.

The classic Drama teacher line - "Don't tell me. Show me!"
