In higher educational institutes, developing classrooms for active learning is becoming a part of comprehensive educational drive for students involving and engaging in learning. For this purpose, ...influence of social factors on collaborative learning and engagement has been investigated which will influence learning performance of students. The study looked at following areas: (a) the ability of social factors for developing collaborative learning and engagement and (b) whether collaborative learning and engagement mediate a link between social factors and student's learning performance. Constructivism theory has been utilized to observe the student's learning behavior. Data have been collected through questionnaires from university students. Findings evaluated through structural equation modeling (SEM), shows that social factors, i.e. interaction with peers and teachers, social presence, and usage of social media positively impact active collaborative learning and student involvement, thus affecting their learning performance. The findings also provide evidence for double mediation used in this study. As online learning is becoming more prevalent in education, it has been concluded that overall collaborative learning and engagement with influence of social factors improve activities of students learning; therefore, their usage should be stimulated in teaching and learning in higher educational institutions as it influences students' academic development.
This paper offers a rule-oriented constructivist perspective on understanding the distinct Chinese and western interpretations of China's "peaceful development" discourse framework. It takes the ...correlations of discourse, rules and rule initiated by Nicolas Onuf as an analytical tool to identify the discrepancies between and within the Chinese and western patterns of discourse, rules and rule on this issue. Critical analyses of Chinese and western discourse are provided as a source for understanding the lack of trust between China and the West on China's "peaceful development". This methodology, which synthesizes the rule-oriented constructivist perspective and concrete discourse analysis, is an innovated attempt to implement the conventional positivist perspective on this issue.
Intellectual development means the growth of a child's ability to think and reason. It's about how they organize their minds, ideas and thoughts to make sense of the world they live in. The ...government of Vietnam requests the education sector to develop hidden competencies of students, particular young learners. This study therefore analyses associated literature to propose a framework to assess the intellectual development and competence of Vietnamese students based on Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence. The paper discusses the theory of multiple intelligences and types of intelligence; the development of assessment framework, development path and tools to measure students' intelligence and capacity; and test results on intellectual ability and capacity development of students.
In this article, we integrate two constructionist approaches-the theory of constructed emotion and rational constructivism-to introduce several novel hypotheses for understanding emotional ...development. We first discuss the hypothesis that emotion categories are abstract and conceptual, whose instances share a goal-based function in a particular context but are highly variable in their affective, physical, and perceptual features. Next, we discuss the possibility that emotional development is the process of developing emotion concepts, and that emotion words may be a critical part of this process. We hypothesize that infants and children learn emotion categories the way they learn other abstract conceptual categories-by observing others use the same emotion word to label highly variable events. Finally, we hypothesize that emotional development can be understood as a concept construction problem: a child becomes capable of experiencing and perceiving emotion only when her brain develops the capacity to assemble ad hoc, situated emotion concepts for the purposes of guiding behavior and giving meaning to sensory inputs. Specifically, we offer a predictive processing account of emotional development.
This study aims to examine differentiated learning from the perspective of constructivist educational philosophy, namely the application of differentiated learning and the relationship between ...constructivism and differentiated learning. This research used a qualitative approach, with a systematic literature review method using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis). This research used the Publish or Perish application to search for various relevant scientific articles taken from international journals, Scopus, with a range of 2014-2024. The data analysis technique for this research used thematic analysis. The result showed that the nature of learning differs from the perspective of constructivist educational philosophy regarding basically every student's knowledge. Constructivism includes a learning process where students must build their knowledge through knowledge and experience that has existed in students before. In learning, teachers help students reconstruct information by presenting meaningful learning. Meaningful in this sense, teachers must be able to organize learning by considering each student's uniqueness because each student is a different individual. The findings in this study showed that the application of differentiated learning based on the educational philosophy of constructivism can be a reference for teachers to direct students in constructing their knowledge independently by paying attention to all aspects of each student's learning. The implication of this study is to provide knowledge to teachers and prospective teachers, namely that the educational philosophy of constructivism can guide learning theory in the application of differentiated learning. Later, it can help improve the quality of learning, which will also increase human resources in Indonesia and help achieve national development goals.
The constructivist approach is a learning approach where students form their knowledge independently. The aim of this research is to find out the implementation of constructivist learning theory in ...fine arts learning and to find out the obstacles that might arise. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, literature approach and documentation. The informant in this research was the 5th grade fine arts teacher at SDN Gadingkasri, Malang City. The results of this research indicate that the application of constructivist learning theory has gone well even though there are several obstacles in its application. Through the application of constructivist learning theory in learning by providing a project for students, it is hoped that it will be able to create Indonesian students who have an independent, creative character and have a lot of knowledge.
While we argue that difference and diversity are essential elements of the education process, we keep one area an utterly separate area: Special education. This area is left as a mysterious closed ...box with many undiscovered differences. While it is clear that there is behavioral pressure on special education, there are also opinions that claim the opposite. However, it is noteworthy that the views are not reflected in the implementation process. The fact that theory and practice are progressing in different lanes should attract the attention of educators. This study sought evidence for the idea that "a constructivist approach for special education offers a suitable learning environment." This study may be a step to stop defining everything we cannot discover as the other. The problem was discussed by blending it with pro and opposing views. Considering that the study contains a deep synthesis of thoughts, it will also trigger new deep discussions.
