“PAST EXPERIENCES USED AS A TOOL FOR LEARNING

Constructivist’s theory is a theory that states that learning is based on past experiences that started as a theory in Russian art during Middle Ages. As a student I would like to agree with this theory because learning occurs if in any way, a certain question is based on your past experiences because you can easily relate to it. Moreover, in Oras’s own perspective to learn is to experience, where in there should be an interaction between you and the environment. According to this theory “The previous knowledge, concepts and views of the students about an issue or issues are the starting point of learning” We cannot deny the fact that in life, past events are directly connected with the present meaning, there is attachment or connection. So students would easily come up with new ideas because of the past events in their lives. However, not all learning’s came from what you had encountered or experience because it might be that it will be based on “vicarious experience” which means to say that you learned from the experiences of other persons through observations. As a teacher or facilitator, it is his duty to ensure that the center of learning are the students and that they would really digest mentally, all the information that they have learned.
