Constructivist Theory Constructivist
Theory states that knowledge is built and shaped through experiences
with materials, phenomena, and people in the world. Teachers act as more
of a guide than an instructor, and classrooms are very
student-centered. Teachers scaffold children’s learning by providing
them varying support as they work through tasks that are challenging in
their zone of proximal development. This website works perfectly with
Constructivist Theory because students are able to navigate the site by
themselves and they can ask their teacher for help if they have any
questions. Students are able to interact with the website and complete
the activities on their own.
Multiple Intelligence Theory Multiple Intelligence Theory states that there are nine different
intelligences that students are strong and excel in. The intelligences
explain how students learn new information, and they include
verbal/linguistic, mathematical/logical, musical, visual/spatial,
body/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. All
students have varying strengths in each of the intelligences, and one or
two of them might come more natural to them. It is important for
teachers to understand the ways in which their students learn so they
can include those methods into their instruction. This website is great
for all of the intelligences because it covers each and every one of
them. The website has numerous different sub-pages, all with different
activities that allow students to do different things such as going out
on a nature walk all the way to filling out a crossword puzzle. Some
activities require logic while others might be more kinesthetic. Bloom's Taxonomy |
