Discuss how a schema is related to constructionist theory or reconstruction
Discuss how a schema is related to constructionist theory or reconstruction. Schema describes an organized pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of information and the relationships among them.
The theory of constructivism suggests that learners construct knowledge out of their experiences.
How the two are related are as humans have schemata for everything in our lives. Before we go to a new place like a doctor’s office we develop schemata about the office. What area the waiting room is going to be, what the rooms will look like, and about how the experience we have had with other doctors. Schema becomes theories about reality. These theories not only affect the way information is interpreted, they affecting comprehension, but also continue to change as new information is received. How might schema also affect the accuracy of “eyewitness testimony?” If you were an eyewitness to a crime, what three factors from our text would you apply and why?
Some of the factors that can affect the accuracy of an eyewitness testimony are Long term memory. Long term memory can affect a testimony by the eyewitness because they may forget or can’t recall something important do to the amount of time that has pasted. Short term memory is another that can affect the accuracy in the same way long term does. The eyewitness may only to remember something briefly but then they forget because for some reason or another brain chooses to let go of the information. On the flip side of these we have abstraction which allows us to recall events or details which we pull from both long and short memory.
As we continue learning about memory, think about a room in your house. It can be the kitchen, bedroom, etc. Write down a list of objects that you believe are visible in that room. Then go to that room and see if those objects are really there. Post the objects you listed and what you listed correctly or incorrectly. Did you list any objects not actually present
