CONSTRUCTIVISM FACING A CHALLENGE: CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES
CONSTRUCTIVISM FACING A CHALLENGE: CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES

Summary/Abstract: The problematic of learning difficulties is not new, but it is always discussed again in order to try to find new efficient ways for its diminution or elimination. The present study aims at establishing how efficient some ways of constructivist teaching are in diminishing the learning difficulties of pupils who do not have intellectual deficiencies. The findings of the research carried out on a group of 205 high school pupils have validated the efficiency of some of the suggested variables (i.e. learning models and methods based on cooperation and collaboration) and less of those regarding the ways of structuring and graphically organizing knowledge. We can conclude that through this category of children with learning difficulties not all models and instruments of work that are specific to the constructivist teaching are efficient and on the contrary, sometimes, behavioral practices turn out to have better results.
