Psychology in the Classroom: Constructivism, Piaget

This video and the next one looks at how constructivism can help us teach young learners effectively. I think the constructivist approach is by far the most useful psychological approach for teachers of children.

There are many important constructivists. For the sake of brevity, I am focusing on three, Piaget, Kelly and Vygotsky. And this first of the two videos on constructivism looks at two of Piaget's ideas: Assimilation and accommodation and stages of learning.

This is the third in a series of four videos on psychology in the classroom. The first video was on behaviorism and the second one was on psychological myths that teachers of children often believe.

THANK YOU
I would like to give a big thank you to Adam Kardos for doing the voiceover.
