How to Incorporate Constructivism

By dividing and giving the students a particular planet on the board to discuss offers each set of the students a wide berth of understanding and researching on the planet so they can share the knowledge that they have acquired with the rest of the class. Constructivism as a learning tool in the classroom offers the tutor the chance to understand what the students lack in terms of their understanding while it helps to create an avenue on which the students can use to grow in confidence. Such a process that is used in describing the solar system will create confidence in the students because they will be able to stand up and face their fellow students with tidbits of information that they have learned about their assigned planets.

In doing this, the students who are offered the chance to give their part of the answer or enquire on various matters that are related to the planets will assist the weaker students in learning. Inquiry-based problem solving is one of the best learning techniques that should be used in the classrooms because it gives the students a chance to add to the knowledge that they have and also to remove any doubt which they may be harboring (Hartle, et al, 32).
