theoretical foundations assignment


My high school science teacher used Constructivist theories for her teaching. I know this because we would do a lot of hands on experiements. Such as looking and bacteria under microscopes and determining what they were. This is how I will also teach in my classroom because I find it the best way to learn information and new things with a hands on approach. I’m the type of person that learns best when actually doing something not just reading it out of a book or being told how something should work.
