Constructivism is the theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information (the traditional chalk-and-talk followed in most schools). As people experience the world and reflect upon those experiences, they build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge (schemas).
Thus ‘constructivist’ teachers of Prarambhika place a strong emphasis on learners developing personal meaning through reflection, analysis and the gradual building of layers or depths of knowledge through conscious and ongoing mental processing.
Reflection, discussion forums, small group work, and projects are key methods used to support constructivist learning.
Prarambhika’s teaching- learning methodology is firmly based on the constructivism model. Via PACE, teachers, students and parents are able to fully track and observe the progress of the student on a continuous basis.
