constructivist framework

In a traditional classroom, students learn to recite facts, memorize procedures, and recall information. School leaders need to assess if this method of teaching is engaging and motivating for their students. This project was created to provide students with an alternative classroom experience that is based on foundational principles of the constructivist framework. This method of teaching is rooted in an active learning environment where students can construct their own meaning. Therefore, this development project afforded the opportunity for students to engage in a cooperative learning environment.

The purpose of this project was to explore the use of Flipgrid to enhance student cooperation in a classroom located at a public school on Oahu. The design was created out of positive findings that was gathered from a literature review. Similar research studies show that the use of video and peer interactions are conducive towards student achievement. Interactions with the students resulted in positive changes and possible improvements to the lesson. This presentation will explore how the researcher developed the project and lessons learned.
