Book excerpt: This comprehensive, yet concise, book provides a practical pre-service training program across all secondary subjects by grounding a constructivist approach in seven discrete instructional areas. This groundbreaking book is the only teacher education text with components that shift the focus from a teacher-centered to a student-centered context-while infusing a key component of successful active student learning. Engaged Minds provides strategies with specific examples for moving through lower levels of concrete information and applications to the higher, more abstract, levels of synthesis and evaluation. This dynamic book takes a roll-up-your-sleeves approach-yet constructivist ideology permeates this rigorous, accessible and imaginative training program. For teachers of secondary education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides teachers with practical ways of constructing lessons that will engage students and help them develop personal responsibility for their own learning. State learning standards and related core curricula require students to demonstrate what they know and understand. Students cannot learn to demonstrate their understanding if they sit passively. The authors call for constructivist practices which recognize the important role played by standards and student accountability, and which also acknowledge the practical need for lecture in an appropriate context. This book also shows the links between constructivism and differentiated instruction and other approaches to teaching and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this applied dissertation was to examine the effects of constructivist pedagogy when addressing the issues associated with below proficiency scores in basic skills in mathematics on the state exit exam. Scores of thirty-four 11th and 12th grade students who did not perform at the state-mandated levels of proficiency in basic skills in mathematics on the state exit exam were used for individualizing each of the student's instruction in the computer lab and for matching students together with strengths and weaknesses for peer-assisted instruction and group learning. Collaborative learning, cooperative learning, and computer-assisted instruction were used for a 16-week period. Results indicated that the applied dissertation program utilizing constructivist teaching strategies to improve mathematics outcomes for high school students was effective in two of the four identified outcomes. The program was effective in improving the scores of students repeating the state mandated exit exam and improving student motivation, however, the program was less effective in improving in-class achievement test scores. Nor was the program effective in improving classroom grades, in mathematics, of the students in the program. None-the-less, the pre- and post-test data did show an improvement for 91% of the students after implementation of the applied dissertation program. It is recommended that further research be completed using a student group not enrolled in a class set-up specifically for remediation of basic skills, that teacher in-service be provided on constructivist methods to enable the teachers to understand the importance of these methods and to correctly implement the use of them, that the class students are required to take, if they scored below standard on their first or second attempt on the mathematics subtest on the state mandated exit exam, be changed from a required elective to a suggested elective, and it is recommended that additional training be provided on technology use so that teachers can best provide programs that are tailored to the individual student's needs. (A student survey is appended to this document.)
