Instructivist Learning Theory
In the instructivist classroom, knowledge exists independently of the students, and is transferred to the student by the teacher. As a teacher-centered model, the instructivist view is learned by transferring the information to the student through the teacher or instructors lessons or lectures . This theory requires the student to accept information and knowledge as presented by the instructor as without question. While this method has been the basis of education for centuries, it does have drawbacks, especially in the online class. Constructivist Learning Theory
In the constructivist classroom, the student constructs new knowledge through a process of analyzing new information and comparing it to previous knowledge. Student-centered, rather than teacher-centered, the constructivist class is better exemplified by teachers who provide guidance, rather than giving lectures. The student is in control of what he or she learns, not the instructor. Building a model, designing a chart, and completing a project are all examples constructivist learning activities. By incorporating constructivist activities, instructors and teachers can improve student learning.
