This study aims to develop a critical collaboration-oriented constructivist learning model to improve students' social-spiritual skills. It boosts the urgency that most educators currently believe the online learning model does not improve students' social and spiritual skills. The development is carried out using the Assure model developed by Smaldino, Russell, Heinich, and Molenda. The developed model followed six steps, namely: (1) analyzing the characteristics of students, (2) setting learning objectives, (3) selecting media, methods, and materials, (4) utilizing teaching materials, (5) involving students in learning activities, and (6) evaluation and revision. The research process was carried out at UIN Mataram, involving one content expert, one design expert, five students in individual trials, nine students in small group trials, and 40 students in field trials. The results show that the developed learning model had theoretical feasibility of 96.4% for the material and 96% for the learning design. At the same time, the results of the empirical feasibility test showed that the product was empirically feasible with a feasibility level of 85.87% in individual trials, 90.12% in small group trials, and 94.25% in field trials. This study ends with the suggestions to implement the developed learning model in different fields of studies as the discussion of this model is rare while the impacts are beneficial. The discussion on its application and effects on learning achievements and attitudes in different fields of studies will contribute to a broader understanding of the same topic.

This chapter describes an instructional online collaborative learning model that addresses the phenomenon from a systemic human relations and interaction perspective. Its main purpose is to aid students in their social building of knowledge when learning in a CSCL environment. The model argues that knowledge building in a networked environment is affected by the communication conflicts that naturally arise in human relationships. Thus, the model is basically proposing a way to attend to these communication conflicts. In this line, it proposes a set of instructional strategies to develop the student’s meta-communication abilities. The concepts and instructional suggestions presented here are intended to have a heuristic value and are hoped to serve as a frame of reference to: 1) understand the complex human patterns of relationships that naturally develop when learning in a CSCL environment, and 2) suggest some basic pedagogical strategies to the instructional designer to develop sound online networked environments.

ABSTRACT The title of this article is Application of Synectic Learning Model in Kampung Seni & Wisata Manglayang, Bandung regency. This paper is motivated by the idea of conceptualization necessities of learning in art studios which provide learning services to the visitors, especially of the early ages. The research used a qualitative paradigm with pseudo experiment approach of one short case study applying Synectic Learning Model that is an approach to develop creativity, to enhance problem- solving skills, creative expression, and to develop empathy in social relationships. Through its ap- plication the art learning activities in the studio visitation program is more meaningful and able to develop ideas and enhance creative activities of the students. Keywords: Synectic Learning Model.

<p class="apa">The study aims to investigate the effect of using constructivist learning model in teaching science, especially in the subject of light: its nature, mirrors, lens, and properties, on the achievement of eighth-grade students and their scientific thinking.</p><p class="apa">The study sample consisted of (136) male and female 8<sup>th</sup> graders were chosen from two basic schools in Tafila in the scholastic year 2015/2016. The four-class sample was divided into two groups (controlled &amp; experimental).</p><p class="apa">For achieving the study aims, the researcher prepared lesson plans using constructivist learning model, achievement test and scientific thinking test, which validity and reliability were checked.</p><p class="apa">To answer the questions of the study, means, SD, ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to determine the differences in means of the groups of the study.</p><p class="apa">The results show that there is statistically significant difference at (α= 0.05) for the effect of the constructivist Learning model on the achievement and scientific thinking in favor of experimental group, and there is no statistically significant difference at (α= 0.05) for the constructivist Learning model on the achievement and scientific thinking attributed to gender, and there is no statistically significant difference at (α= 0.05) for the dual interaction between teaching method and gender on the achievement and scientific thinking.</p><p class="apa">In the light of the study results, the researcher presented a number of recommendations including: extra attention should be given to employ constructivist learning model within science courses, and conducting further studies about the effect of the constructivist Learning model on various learning outcomes.</p>

This article explores the non-monotonic nature of the programmer learning that takes place during incremental program development. It uses a constructivist learning model that consists of four fundamental cognitive activities: absorption that adds new facts to the knowledge, denial that rejects facts that do not fit in, reorganization that reorganizes the knowledge, and expulsion that rejects obsolete knowledge. A case study of an incremental program development illustrates the application of the model and demonstrates that it can explain the learning process with episodes of both increase and decrease in the knowledge. Implications for the documentation systems are discussed in the conclusions.
