Chapter 3 Case Study

1. How is WISE an example of a constructivist learning tool?

WISE is an example of a constructivist learning tool because it is a problem based learning problem. The students are posed with a question and need to use the resources available along with their own information to solve the problem. Additionally, this problem is tied into the real world.

3. What features of group work are effective here?

One great feature of WISE is that its projects are varied. Students participating in them learn a scientific process in a number of settings, as well as a number of strategies for working in groups.
