== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Constructivism''' β The theory that learners construct their own knowledge through experience and reflection. * '''Schema''' β A mental "Map" or framework that helps us organize and interpret information. * '''Scaffolding''' β Temporary support provided by a teacher to help a student reach a higher level of understanding (like a building scaffold). * '''Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)''' β The "Sweet Spot" of learning: tasks that are too hard for a student to do alone, but possible with a little help. * '''Jean Piaget''' β The psychologist who focused on how children's "Thinking" changes as they grow (Cognitive Constructivism). * '''Lev Vygotsky''' β The theorist who focused on how "Social Interaction" and "Language" drive learning (Social Constructivism). * '''Active Learning''' β A style where students are physically or mentally "Engaged" with the material (e.g., experiments, debates). * '''Assimilation''' β Adding new information into an existing mental schema without changing the schema. * '''Accommodation''' β Changing your mental schema because new information "Doesn't fit" the old way of thinking. * '''Inquiry-Based Learning''' β Starting a lesson with a "Big Question" or a "Problem" rather than a set of facts. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
