3. REALISM
Form of objectivism that assumes that
some sort of reality is separate from
the mind (ontology); to know is to have
a correspondence between the world
and the mind (epistemology).
4. Realism is an act of accepting reality in
its actual spirit and essence including
facts, physical universe, events,
necessities of life, ground realities,
favourable or unfavourable situations,
conditions and atmosphere, as they
are, as opposed to the abstract or ideal.

experience.”

8. The key term in Locke's Essay is "idea,"
which he defined as ". . . whatsoever is the
object of the under-standing when a man
thinks, . . . whatever is meant by phantasm,
notion, species, or whatever it is which the
mind can be employed about in thinking"
(I.i.8).
Any object of awareness or of
consciousness must be an idea.

16. Constructivism's central idea is that human
learning is constructed, that learners build
new knowledge upon the foundation of
previous learning.
In constructivism, there is not a 'one and
only true way' to solve a task. The solution of
a problem rather depends upon individual
experiences and thoughts.
17. CONSTRUCTIVISM
“Teaching is
not about
filling up the
pail, it is
about lighting
a fire.”
Teaching involves giving
opportunities for
learners to explore and
discover.
Learners construct their
own meaning.
Learners generate
insights and are
“enlightened.”
18. 2 views of constructivism
Individual constructivism – emphasizes
individual, internal construction of
knowledge.
Social constructivism – knowledge exists
in a social context and is initially shared
with others instead of being represented
solely in the mind of an individual.
20. Characteristics of Constructivism
Learners construct understanding.
New learning depends on current
understanding.
Learning is facilitated by social
interaction.
Meaningful learning occurs within
authentic learning tasks.
