| Summary: | The current pause in the traditional structure of schooling (due to the 2020 COVID pandemic) presents an opportunity for openness on many different levels, through openness to the science of learning and what it tells us about the impact of constructivist education, openness to changes in instructional practice that align with this research, openness to new structures and ways of thinking about success, openness to greater teacher and student agency and openness to schoolwork centered around big ideas, design theory and authentic problems to solve. The authors make the case that this is the perfect time to do this work and they exhibit how it can be accomplished. They further discuss the importance of schools making normative and structural shifts to enhance the likelihood that constructivism, a theory of learning, will be embraced, not impeded. |
