Taralyn Chichak’s Blog Post #1

Hi Taralyn,

I really enjoyed reading your post! The summarization is well on point, and I agree with your explanation of the difference between cognitivism and constructivism. I completely understand how it was difficult to separate the two since both are similar in some factors, but you explained it very clearly. Another thing that caught my eye while reading your blog post is your learning style. Although my learning style is behaviourism since I like to interact with the events that are happening around me. I tend to find myself resonating with your learning style, constructivism simply because I like to challenge myself and actively engage with content to stimulate my brain. I agree with your perspective on constructivism because it can help you in the real world and enhance problem solving skills which can contribute to a person’s success. In addition, I don’t find having trouble memorizing, but I definitely prefer to study with repetitions, like for example math, the only way to improve your mathematical learning is through repetitions until it becomes “muscle memory.” Your conclusion also opened my eyes for myself because everyone is different with different learning styles and the only way to enhance and practice your brain is to embrace how you actually learn and receive information.
