ok, so that's the difference between unschooling and constructivism; a constructivist CAN choose to teach a child something, you just don't spoon feed them you put it on their plate and give them the tools. An unschooler would wait for them to ask for it before you offered it to them.


Yes! Constructivism is very different than unschooling. A Constructivist teacher provides lots and lots of facilitated activities for a child to conceptually understand concepts.
