Reflection #3

The constructivist lesson plan is created to help the teacher plan the process of student learning. In that plan, the teacher will find a way for the students to discuss their work. In this part, the teacher will select a title and explain the process of problems solving. The teachers will create guidelines for each group. The teacher will describe the process; by asking the first student to say 1, the second to say 2, and so on so forth. There is another way to determine students’ prior knowledge. And then the teacher will build a relationship between what they already know and what the teacher will teach them.
For example if you are teaching someone something, you have to find out about their prior knowledge “meaning what they already know”. After the teacher group the students, they should leave a spot for them to ask questions. At my church, for example; I divided the youth into two groups. The first group, I gave them an orange folder with multiple choice questions and athe other group, I also gave them an orange folder with fill in the blank questions. They were asked to do have a group discussion. When they were done answering the questions, they explained it among themselves in a way for others to understand. Group A came up with a description on a cardboard and gave a verbal presentation. And group B played their impressions. Then the teacher will give them a feedback about the topic.
When a toddler is given a word and is presented a picture, the toddler learns that the word is the picture. So when the youth was presented into their multiple choices or fill in the blank questions, the words written inside the orange folder presented a picture in the mind of the youth. They had an opportunity to focus on the question that was giving to them. That is an example of cooperative learning. The student thinks and feels the topic based on life experience and individual knowledge. The students learned many academic things while answering the questions but alone thing is that everybody learned is that thinking as individual and answering as a whole is a way to success. The teacher will continue to give them assistance as long as it takes.
