CONSTRUCTIVISM is a learning theory found in psychology which explains how people might acquire knowledge and learn. It has direct application to education. Constructivism is something alike student centered, where student will construct their own hypothesis by using their prior knowledge and experience and teachers will ONLY facilitate and provide guidelines to students. This is because everyone have different learning style and everyone have different way of understanding something, for example, the understanding way of students will differ from the way of how teachers understand it.
Direct Instruction Theory
Direct Instruction is a theory of education which feels that most effective way to teach is by explicit, guided, instructions. This methods of teaching directly contrasts other style of teaching, which might be more passive or encourage exploration.
Mastery Teaching
Mastery teaching is where teachers should foster(encourage) students in academic.Getting students to learn which means make sure all students are paying attention and learning what teachers are teaching and checking the understanding of students by questioning them.
Direct Instruction System for Teaching & Learning (DISTAR)
'DISTAR' is for slow learners and special need students (OKU) for example like students who do not understand easily, who have disabilities and etc... Teachers should give extra attention to this types of students, find out what students need to know to succeed and teach them by following the learning theory.
At the end of my class, I learned that teachers should never leave a student behind. Every one should be treated fairly.
