1. In the constructivist theory, learning is based in past experiences. Student chooses only the information that can be integrated with these experiences.
I strongly agree with the above statement. In a reason that a learner or a student who has experienced the learning tackled in the classroom, he or she could construct and create ideas out from his experiences. The teacher lets his students ask about the topic being presented in the class, in this way there is already an interaction between the teacher and the student. Therefore learning is based in the student’s or learners past experiences. As what they say,”experience is the best teacher”.
2. Educational technology dictates the appropriate pedagogy not technology to determine the pedagogy used.
The above statement is agreeable especially to modern students in the modernized civilization. Using the technology in education or in teaching is more effective than of traditional. Aside from being quick and easy process of teaching, technology helps giving the correct information on such matter or such desired topics to be discussed. This means that it is only the teacher who is the facilitator of the student’s performance through the use of technology in presenting lessons, topics or ideas.
It is not the technology that is responsible for teaching; it is the teacher who should use technology for teaching purposes like using computer in presenting lessons in the class. It can never happen that technology dictates the appropriate pedagogy because if this is possible, maybe school transactions will no longer exist. Then the result would be, students will just stay in their homes and learn things through searching the net.
