Approaches of Constructivist Learning Theory

Constructivism – Connectivism – Constructionism

• no static curricula

• range of contents for self-directed learning

• hybrid approach (technology provides control)

• support of learners by search, filter- and access facilities

• contextualization of knowledge

• networking of actors – contents – communities – projects etc. via tagging(meta data)

• learning contents are situated in real scenarios

• practical learning by construction of real products
