CONSTRUCTIVISM AND VARIOUS CONSTRUCTIVIST STRATEGIES TO TEACHING MATHEMATICS
Abstract
NEP 2020 emphasizes constructivism. If you want to study and teach, first you should know the concept, principles and assumptions of Constructivism. Knowledge of how to use Constructivism is essential. A teacher must also know how Constructivism is used in various subjects. A number of epistemological approaches can be used in the study and teaching of mathematics and they can be classified into three categories. 1) Student-centered 2) Teacher-centered 3) Student-teacher cooperative teaching methods Teaching techniques and teaching paradigms are used to formulate the curriculum. It is implemented considering the prior knowledge of the student. That is, mathematics is a subject of understanding and living. Student's study will not be meaningful without changing the role of teacher to teach and student to study only.
