Misconstructing Constructivism.
Chrenka, Lynn
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n9 p694-95 May 2001
Teachers using a constructivist approach to learning are not invisible, as Lawrence Baines and Gregory Stanley suggest in a December 2000 "Kappan" article. Rather, they are an integral part of an active, student-centered learning process. Assisted by teachers, learners select and transform information, construct hypotheses, and make decisions. (MLH)
