Salviati’s Position on Assessment November 12, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — teachergal @ 7:01 pm

We picked out three ideas that Salviati posed…

1.  The “Zone of Proximal Development” – disallowed in traditional assessment (p. 40)

2.  “Learning is infinite and not subject to the sorts of analyses favored by objectivists except in the most trivial cases” (p. 36)

3.  “The role of education in a constructivist view is to show students how to construct knowlege, to promote collaboratino with others to show the multiple perspectives that can be brought to bear on a particular problem…” (p 36)
