None of my three personal learning experience examples are great examples of constructivism, thus why I gave a different example in the infographic above.  In the IEP (Individualized Education Program) writing training that I received, each step was straightforwardly addressed as we looked at the presentation explaining how to complete each page.  Since the philosophy of Constructivism asserts that knowledge is built from within people's minds instead of given from an external source (Cakir 2008), the way in which the content of this training was delivered was not constructivist in nature.

 

Granted, each IEP is unique, and knowing what writing one well looks like is something that the IEP writer constructs for his or herself, but that was not part of this particular training.  We were told that goals go in section six and need to have 2-3 objectives for each, but it was up to us to collaborate and learn from each other as professionals, long-term, in order to figure out if the goals were actually well-written.

The training itself was not constructivist, but what my team and I ultimately did with that knowledge to build new knowledge for ourselves absolutely was.
