Mathematics education suffers from a condition that resembles schizophrenia. One of its personalities is exhibited in the day-to-day realities of classroom learning; another is evident in journal articles, in-service presentations, and other such forums where educators present alternative realities of learning. For the purposes of this article, these personalities will be labeled, respectively, as the practice and theory of mathematics education. This article focuses on the latest form of the theoretical personality of mathematics education, constructivism, by asking what is constructivist learning theory and what does it imply for the practice of learning mathematics?

Eeva Anttila (to Sue Stinson): One thing that comes to my mind is the conception/theory of learning that you currently feel most connected to. Could you clarify that? Is your conception in conflict with the learning objectives discourse that you have to deal with, and if yes, how so? Could you use some theoretical references to overcome this kind of demand that you are subjected to? For instance, constructivist learning theory is based on the idea that everyone learns different things, based on their previous experiences etc.

Teachers Perspectives

Media literacy is an emergent field in developed countries and became an integral part of the school system and has been integrated in the educational curriculum. The present paper highlights the teachers’ perception regarding media literacy awareness and their opinions and readiness of media literacy at school level. The study used constructivist learning theory for theoretical framework. This study supports constructivist learning theory that transforms students being passive recipient to more active participant in getting the information for their learning process and hence helps in preparing children to explore, investigate and experiment with the media available in the classroom. The study has shown that teachers are not well aware of media literacy concept and the teaching of media literacy through rote learning or traditional practice may not produce productive results. The curriculum needs to aim at the active participation of students by making the lessons functional and would provide students with competences and critical approach towards mediated content rather than becoming passive consumer of media.

In the context of information globalization and the popularity of the Internet, the flipped classroom as a new teaching mode, a new pedagogical method has become a heated topic and a growing concern for educators across the world. In this paper, the flipped classroom is supported by constructivist learning theory. The teaching mode under the constructivist learning theory is typically students-centered which corresponds with the flipped classroom mode. This paper mainly focuses on the application of constructivist learning theory in flipped classroom, taking college English teaching for example to interpret the student- student, teacher- student interactions in the flipped classroom with the final goal to promote students’ learning efficiency and quality.

The Impact

Information wikis and especially Wikipedia have become one of the most attractive environments for informal learning. The nature of wikis enables learners to freely navigate the learning environment and independently con-struct knowledge without being required to follow a predefined learning path in line with the constructivist learning theory. Link-based navigation and keyword-based search methods used on Wikipedia and similar information wikis suffer from many limitations. In our paper, we present an effective recommendation system that provides easier and faster access to relevant content on Wikipedia to support informal learning. In addition, we evaluate the impact of personalized content recommendations on informal learning from Wikipedia and show how web analytics data can be used to get an in-sight on informal learning in similar environments.
