Constructivism and Vygotsky´s Theory      

By Miryen Vélez

Definitions

Language: The language is the form by which we communicate to each other, either through sounds or signals, i.e. in the case of babies when crying they make themselves understood.

The persons that have hearing disability, they are communicate by signs.

Summarizing, we can say that the language is the forms that we use for communicate with others people.

Learning: Learning is the acquisition and/or skills that we have as referent to something, either language and/or topic specific, we acquired learning day to day, second to second.

We learn every time that we read, talk, listen and see, for It is important to mediate  on each topic that we see and practice because when I do not practice, we cannot acquire skills for obtain an appropriate learning.

Teaching: The teaching, I think that are all mechanisms use for that the a person acquired skills such as writing, reading,  listen and speaking for this we use tools  such as computers, videos, songs, films, news, also used book, webcam.

The meaning of education is extensive, because all the people teach in one way or other, for we must have careful with each of our actions, because everything we do, can be considered as a lesson for another person.

Summarizing, education is everything we do.


Restating the theory

The constructivism says that the human learning is built, that  mind of people made new knowledge from the basis previous teachings.

For the constructivism the learning is the result of a process of staff- collective construction  of the news knowledge, attitudes from existing in cooperation with mates and facilitator.

Examples:

1.       A facilitator gives us a reference guide to language and learning, teaching, where everyone reads and exposed the ideas according  to read and knowledge they have, it is share in the group searching a deeper concession and clarify doubts, of course wiht support of the facilitator.  

2.       A mother enters a room of yours children and they show pictures where each says the name of each animal in English, she observes carefully the behavior of their children, after read them a story “jungle animals”, then, the children give, their point view of the  understand  and  doing drawings of the animals and build a short story.

The mother finish happy because saw that his children understood the topic “animals”
