Understanding Student Learning
Activity 3.1: “You Might Be a Constructivist If…” Inventory
The You Might Be a Constructivist If Inventory is an informal assessment that helps you identify and clarify your views about teaching and learning. Taking this inventory may help you develop a more nuanced understanding of your views that can direct your teaching efforts going forward.
Activity 3.2: What Would You Do (WWYD)
In this activity, you think through what you do when setting out to learn something new. Thinking about the thought processes involved when we learn may help us better facilitate student learning.
Activity 3.3: Steps-in-a-Process Diagram
In this Steps-in-a-Process Diagram, you analyze the steps involved in learning. Making these steps explicit can help deepen your understanding of learning and also help you identify and address potential challenges in the learning process.
