Cons+of+Constructivism

= The Big Debate = CONSTRUCTIVISM

CONS:
- Lack of structure. Some students require more structure than others in order to understand what they are learning. - Teachers don't closely follow the standardized curriculum which could lead to students falling behind. - Removes traditional grading. Instead the teachers are grading the students on a more individualized scale. - The constructivist theory could cause students to become irritated and frustrated if they can not make valid connections to the new information they are learning to their prior knowledge. - This theory is very time consuming.
