Really appreciated
the chance to learn more about this. |

MFO gave me a
sense of permission to use constructivism approaches in my
teaching/faciliatating online. So Q4 answer should read
"further developed" these ideas, Q6 "heightened my interest
into looking for new and interesting ways to do this". Is the
term 'scaffolding" part of this approach? Sorry Michael, I'm
rusty on my Piaget type theories. Cheers, Valda PS Oh if this
is all meant to be anonymous just delete me!

The key to being
won over to constructivist methods is to: 1. experience it
2. ensure it's developed hand-in-hand with e-moderation
skills. The key to successful constructivism lies in
successful moderation. |

My problem is it
takes time to put into practice and think through how to
implement it into the classroom. |

Really enjoyed the
course. I felt at "home". I can imagine that those who are
very used to a more structured method of teaching may have
found the process a little frustrating. Constructivism from a
student's perspective relies on creativity and "thinking
beyond the square" which may not be easy for some. But the
method does value every students input which makes the course
rewrding. |

When I am working
with a group of students I rarely rely totally upon one
methodology but use different methodologies according to the
demographic of the learners and often use a hybrid of a number
of approaches. |

I didn't feel that
I learnt much at all from MFO - bordered on being a waste of
time. |
8 |
I'm not involved
with teaching, just in providing access to professional
development in which we discuss the various learning styles.
Constructivist approaches comes up in this context.

I think you need
to have clear objectives where courses are going, to achieve
the outcomes students are paying for. I'm not sure that MFO
was able to clearly state what its outcomes were going to be.
How do you advertise this to potential paying customers. As
such there are some skills and activities that are more suited
to open ended activities. |

MFO students being
older,sorry, more mature than most of my student group had no
hesitation in engaging in constructivist approaches. Some
of my students need guiding and encouragement initially but
soon feel comfortable with constructivist methodology.

In MFO, I enjoyed
watching all the ideas develop - I don't think we realise what
a wonderful resource we all are until we share our ideas.
Some of the questions in this survey were difficult to
answer 'so black and white' eg. No 2 Something that is good in
theory but too hard to implement with students; more too hard
to implement with some students. And No 6 I employed
constructivist principles before MFO and nothing has changed
since doing the course; I had employed these principles before
MFO but that doesn't mean MFO didn't stimulate my thinking
further!

I found some
difficlut to answer becuase Our work is based on a
constructivist approach to learning and teaching. I guess I
entred you course as a learner and it affirmed what I try to
do too. |
13 |
I am not a
teacher, but still, I like constructivism as a student.

I've used
constructivist approaches in my teaching for many years - only
now have a new name for it. It works because of the nature of
the subjects I've taught - community services, communication
and social science subjects. May not be as good for other
subjects . I did not use it all the time though as variety is
important. It often does take longer and so this needs to be
borne in mind. As an instructional designer i encourage this
approach as it is excellent for workbase learning ass it
encourages learners to integrate what they are learning with
what they know. |

I think MFO
validates and highliaghts the benefits of constructivism
|
16 |
I found MFO very
rewarding and it opened my eyes to many alternatives. All good
food for thought. |
17 |
Like any other
pedagogy, I feel that constuctivism should be integrate with
the best of other models to provide a quality learning
esperience for the student. |
18 |
I wanted some
different choices like not sure, sometimes, yes but!!
Michael, I don't think this really gives a good picture of
how the course has impacted on me since I don't actually have
a class however I have related it to how I have approached our
learnscope teams. |
