CONSTRUCTIVISM: A PARADIGM FOR OLDER LEARNERS

Abstract

The collective profile of older learners differs from that of younger learners. Older learners tend to be highly motivated and favorably predisposed toward the learning process. Older learners comprehend and retain information more effectively when it is presented using instructional methods and classroom environments that recognize inherent differences between this population and the various groups of younger students. Instructional/teaching methods and techniques found to be especially effective with older learners were identified and discussed in context with the well-established Cognitive and Constructivist Learning Theories.
