Constructivist and Experiential Learning Foundations

Authentic learning is grounded in two key theories 1. Constructivism (Vygotsky, Piaget): Learners actively build knowledge through interaction, dialogue, and problem-solving. 2. Experiential Learning (Dewey, Kolb): Learning occurs through doing, reflecting, and applying. Example A biology student investigating local water quality applies scientific methods, collaborates with peers, and reflects on findings (constructing knowledge through experience).
