This article explains how students construct their knowledge through the carried out constructive learning course.
Revolutional reforms have been taking place in the field of education in Azerbaijan. The main strategy of the reforms is interactive teaching.
Earlier in the past, students were expected to learn through transmission of the knowledge. Even though students independently critical thinking and ability of pursuing the knowledge under the guidance of the teacher’s knowledge is given more attention with the recent educational reforms, it appears that this reforms do not meet todays expectations in the era of rapidly developing techonological society
Society demand from new generation of students to constantly update their knowledge, coordinate and match them to each other, work collobratively, construct a new knowledge with respect to his or her previous knowledge, and convert them into practical way. This demans require a new approach to the teaching proses and by means of cognitive constructivism, and social constructivism, this demand can be supplied.
Understanding in pedagogical process occurs via use of educational technologies and teachers giving an opportunity to students to receive the knowledge and establish it up on a previously existing form which contributes to highly quality learning. As a result, students’ cognitive and social skills are formed. The main purpose of the study in a constructive learning environment is to expand the intuitive knowledge of students on the subject, and strengthen through brain storms and works.
The goal of the lesson is to reach each stage tied to each other. Firstly, meaning of the subject matter is made clear for the students. Teacher adds supplementary information related with the content and help students so that they could convert the information to construct a new knowledge. Afterwards, gained knowledge is reflected in the exercising sheets and made strengthen on the mind.
Answering the questions directed by the teacher in the every stage of the lesson, students do ascend their primitive level of knowledge and put on a new meaning. Questions and grounds set in the constructive lesson, is first discussed within the group mates and then whole students in the classroom. During these discussions, students do not only share their knowledge, but also get others knowledge. As there is a powerful interaction and collaboration between students to solve questions during discussions, each answers by students becomes a meaningful knowledge in return.
Comparing the outcome of the courses conducted with constructive learning methods and current teaching methods, significant differences revealed out after implementations. Results of the study indicates that most important difference seen in the students perception towards shaping the knowledge and practical usage of the gained knowledge, which is considered as the most important and valuable skills to develop in todays world
