The constructivist method in teaching and DDD-E


Hello everyone,


I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are all feeling good and safe.
Do you remember what we discussed last time?
If not, I explained to you the cooperative learning and its importance in teaching.



Today I will talk about the constructivist method in teaching and DDD-E.
Maybe this is the first time you hear this word... What exactly is Constructivist method?


Based on the belief that learning occurs when learners are actively involved in the process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information.
Constructivist method is done by the use of: INTERACTIVE TEACHING, COLLABORATIVE TEACHING(Lets learn together), INTEGRATIVE TEACHING(putting together separate disciplines to make the whole), INQUIRY-BASED TEACHING.
In my opinion this method of teaching is very productive and efficient.



Now, you will probably be asking, what is DDD-E?
I will give you the definition of each letter. First D means decide, to establish the assignment you will work on, Second D means design, the instruments that will be used for the assignment. The third D means develop, putting together all the materials. And the E letter means evaluate, form an idea of the amount.
This model from Ks Ivers is really good. It helps you organizing your thoughts and your project as well.


I really hope my explanation is clear to you and efficient.
See you next week with another important topic to discuss.


If you have any question, let me know in the comments below.
Stay safe.
xoxo

Evaluation Phrase

Hello my virtual friends How are you feeling? Today I will talk about Evaluation Phrase. In every walk of life the process of evaluation takes place in one or the other form. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. It is only through evaluation that one can discriminate between good and bad. The whole cycle of social development revolves around the evaluation process. In education how much a child has succeeded in his aims, can only be determined through evaluation. Thus there is a close relationship between evaluation and aims. Evaluation plays an enormous role in the teaching-learning process. It helps teachers and learners to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous process and a periodic exercise. It helps in forming the values of judgement, educational status, or achievement of student. Evaluation in one form or the other is inevitable in teaching-learning, as in all fields of activity of edu...

2nd post: The importance of Online Teaching

Hello everyone, this is Iva! This is my second post and I am so exciting to share with you my thoughts about the topic I will discuss with you today. Since we had to choose the topic freely, I decided to talk about The importance of online teaching. Nowadays we all know that the Internet has significantly changed how we communicate, how we get and share the information. I read somewhere that technology wont replace teachers, but teachers who use technology will probably replace teachers who do not, and I totally agree. We should follow the rhythm of life, otherwise we will be left behind. Some say that Its a wrong thing to follow the trend, but I would say No, definitely not... Albanians say "Whoever is separated from the flock is eaten by the wolf" and this means that we should all walk in the same line. This is not the only reason, here are some other reasons why online teaching is important: First of all, online teaching increases flexibility of time. With online teachin...

Hello everyone, hope you are feeling good and safe. What do you think when you see the picture? This is what we will talk about this week in this post...Technology Tools. What are Technology tools? Technology is booming in today's classrooms. Teachers and students have access to countless technology tools that help them instruct and learn.  Three top teacher tools include the interactive whiteboard, computer, and document camera.  Student learning is supplemented with tablets, clickers, and apps. There are a wide range of tools available for students, educators, and librarians. The key is selecting materials that are effective, efficient, and appealing. The twenty-first century has arrived, and it has brought some of the most advanced computing technologies into the classroom; this leaves us with a very important question, do we really need technology, such as iPads or computers, implemented in our learning plans? As a student that has taken entire cou...
