The next step is allowing constant conversation between the students and teacher.
This engagement creates a discourse of comfort wherein all ideas can be considered
and understood and the students then feel safe about challenging other hypotheses,
defending their own, and supporting real-world situations with abstract supporting
data.
These exercises and classroom applications of constructivism will allow children to, at
an early age or a late age, develop the skills and confidence to analyze the world
around them, create solutions or support for developing issues, and then justify their
words and actions, while encouraging those around them to do the same and
respecting the differences in opinions for the contributions that they can make to the
whole of the situation. Classroom applications of constructivism support the
philosophy of learning which build a students' and teachers' understanding.
