RE-VISITING MY EARLY LEARNING AND CONSTRUCTIVISM
My Learning experience around the middle school was partly on constructivism. The formation of groups to study a concept, engaging in discussions to advance learning, all these are a part of social constructivism.
There was lesser element of scaffolding here. A learning scenario where the teacher supported a weaker group and lessened the support as the group advanced would be an excellent example of scaffolding.
An example of ZPD here would be handholding a weaker student to understand the concept better and progress him to the learning goal.
