Module 13: Bruner's Constructivist Theory

Bruner's constructivist theory promoted discovery learning where students construct knowledge through hands-on experiences and asking questions. For discovery learning to be effective in the classroom, the teacher must be flexible, well-prepared, and understand how student discoveries can lead to further learning. Teachers also need to understand child development and how to help students ask questions to discover and understand their surroundings based on their developmental level.

1. Read more about discovery learning and how it is used in


preschool, elementary and high school levels.

To effectively use the Discovery Learning Method in a classroom, a teacher


needs to not only be flexible, but also well-prepared, organized, and have
an understanding of how what is discovered in class is educationally
valuable and can lead to further investigations for the student.  Teachers
need to be able to help young children, who are already curious about the
world around them, learn how to ask questions that will help them
understand their surroundings.

Teachers also have to know where their student is developmentally and


how that will play in a role in a child finding success in a lesson. This may
sound like a lofty goal, but most educators have to take classes in
developmental psychology that are specifically geared to the age with
which they want to work.
