Constructivist Theory .......Answer.........A philosophy based on the
premise that people construct their own understanding of the
world they live in through reflection on experiences.
Constructivist Theory in Practice .......Answer.........For example:
Groups of students in a science class are discussing a problem in
physics. Though the teacher knows the "answer" to the problem,
she focuses on helping students restate their questions in useful
ways. She prompts each student to reflect on and examine his or
her current knowledge. When one of the students comes up with
the relevant concept, the teacher seizes upon it, and indicates to
,age 2 of 54
the group that this might be a fruitful avenue for them to
explore. They design and perform relevant experiments.
Afterward, the students and teacher talk about what they have
learned, and how their observations and experiments helped (or
did not help) them to better understand the concept.
How can a formative assessment help you to differentiate
instruction? .......Answer.........Can help teachers determine:
Whether instruction is being delivered at the right level and at
the right pace.
How to plan future instruction that will meet students' needs.
How students should be grouped for instruction so that each
student receives instruction at the right level of difficulty.
Which students need individual support.

How can a book walk and asking questions be an appropriate
formative assessment? .......Answer.........Asking questions allows
an opportunity for deeper thinking and provides teachers with
significant insight into the degree and depth of understanding.
How does a summative assessment help to determine mastery of
a skill? .......Answer.........They are spread out and occur after
instruction every few weeks, months, or once a year, summative
assessments are tools to help evaluate the effectiveness of
programs, school improvement goals, alignment of curriculum, or
student placement in specific programs.
Cognitive-constructivist view of reading .......Answer.........Aim to
assist students in assimilating new information to existing
knowledge, as well as enabling them to make the appropriate
accommodations to their existing intellectual framework to
accommodate that information. Ex. Because of Winn-Dixie; from
, age 4 of 54
her inference, and active knowledge of the text says that
people who have things in common often become friends.
Socio-cultural theory/Ex. .......Answer.........Extends the influence
on the cognitive-constructivist view out from the reader and the
text into the larger social realm. Learning is viewed as social
rather than individual. -Lev Vygotsky Ex. Understanding the zone
of proximal development can be helpful for teachers.
In classroom settings, teachers may first assess students to
determine their current skill level. Educators can then offer
instruction that stretches the limits of each child's capabilities.
At first, the student may need assistance from an adult or a more
knowledgeable peer, but eventually, their zone of proximal
development will expand. Teachers can help promote this
expansion by:
