I like from the comparison that the 21st century learning seemingly will be more relevant to the student. It is hard some times to engage students, but I feel if we use their social media as a form of collaboration in a discussion format it will greatly benefit the teacher and the students. Moving from a DI instructional method to more of a constructivists approach I find sounds good on paper, but does not hold up as a single way of testing. Constructivist learning will never fully replace Direct Instructional methods it helps to enhance the learning process. As a science teacher I like using structured inquiry, so students get a little DI, with Literacy skill and the inquiry based learning as well. I also like the feedback approach of the 21st century teacher, giving students praise, feedback and direction is a good way to build a learners self esteem.
How much do you feel that standardized testing is going to promote DI versus a Constructivist models?
