What is Social Constructivism?
A philosophy of learning founded on the premise
that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding.

What does it all mean?
Learning is a search for meaning. Learning must
start with the issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.

We are learning all the time…
The purpose of learning is for an individual to
construct his or her own meaning, not just
memorize the "right" answers.

Four Branches of Emotional Intelligence
1. Perceiving emotion
2. Using emotions to facilitate thought
3. Understanding emotions
4. Managing emotions
![Page 13: Social Constructivism A presentation by: The King and Queens of Collaboration](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d945503460f94a7be35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Perceiving Emotion: most basic area and has to do with nonverbal reception and expression of emotion
Using Emotion to facilitate thought: the capacity of the emotions to enter into and guide the cognitive system and promote thinking.
![Page 14: Social Constructivism A presentation by: The King and Queens of Collaboration](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d945503460f94a7be35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Understanding Emotions: emotions convey information. Each emotion conveys its own pattern of possible messages, and actions associated with those messages.
Managing Emotions: emotions need to be managed. It becomes possible to regulate and manage one’s own and others’ emotions so as to promote one’s own and others’ personal and social goals.
