Social Constructivism alignment + AI literacy
ILO 1 Analyse — Bloom's L4
Students will be able to compare and contrast the key assumptions and classroom implications of Behaviourism, Cognitivism, and Social Constructivism.
Pedagogy link: Collaborative theory-mapping mirrors Social Constructivist knowledge co-construction.
AI integration: —
ILO 2 Apply — Bloom's L3
Students will be able to apply at least one learning theory to a specific real-world teaching scenario, justifying their choice.
Pedagogy link: Jigsaw peer-teaching embeds application through explanation and analogy construction.
AI integration: —
ILO 3 Evaluate — Bloom's L5
Students will be able to critically evaluate AI-generated explanations of learning theories, identifying inaccuracies, oversimplifications, and missing nuance.
Pedagogy link: Socratic questioning during debrief scaffolds evaluative thinking in a social context.
Students interrogate a ChatGPT output containing a deliberate error and document what they accepted, modified, or rejected — developing critical AI fluency.
ILO 4 Create — Bloom's L6
Students will be able to generate an AI-assisted analogy for a learning theory and justify why it is or is not pedagogically accurate.
Pedagogy link: ZPD-informed scaffolding — AI provides a draft; students reconstruct it with disciplinary knowledge.
Using AI as a creative scaffold rather than a final source: students produce then evaluate, not just consume.
ILO 5 Evaluate/Create — Bloom's L5–6
Students will be able to reflect on their own use of AI tools during the lesson, articulating one concrete change to their future AI practices.
Pedagogy link: Metacognitive closure; reflective journals align with Social Constructivist emphasis on meaning-making through dialogue and self-assessment.
Metacognitive AI awareness: students move from using AI as a search engine to understanding its limitations, biases, and appropriate role in academic work.
