Mario De Paz Poet Prose Poetry

Constructivism

Teaching traditional 
Is based on transmission
But is receiver tuned?
Cannot transmit culture.
Culture needs discovery.
A teacher must accept
To hear the students’ words
And work with their conceptions
Constructing  day by day.
No discipline succeeds
With rules imposed as truth.
Discussion is a need
To improve a conscious thought.
Become constructivists!

Very often we strive to impact without bothering to find out what was there before. nice reminder. Very well penned! Mario De Paz September 18, 2013 at 11:35 AM Thank you, Vicky. This has beeen my method of teaching for more than 40 years and has been enforced by experience with children 3 to 5. They have excellent intuition and you must listen more than explain. So constructivism becomes a sort of faith
