I found that when I reflected on my learning process I incorporated more elements of constructivism than any other learning theory. I used elements of cognitive constructivism, social constructivism and critical constructivism. I used the zone of proximal development, part of cognitive constructivism, to help me learn because I observed and learned how to longboard by having someone who knew how to do it and was able to show me and guide me through the process. For example, Eddie would tell me how to do it and help me balance on the board until I felt comfortable enough to try it on my own. One aspect of social constructivism that I used was informal learning. We practiced outside my dorm, on a strip of sidewalk that I wouldn't normally associate with education. It helped me practice outdoors because it was a new environment and was probably safer than practicing on a long boarding trip down a corridor. The last aspect of constructivism I used was to think about the social consequences that would occur if I didn't learn to use the long board or if I fell off the long board. Since we were outside, people were constantly walking past us and could obviously see us. This means that if I fell or gave up, other people would know and might judge me, just as I know I would judge or pity others attempting the same task. Because I didn't want to be judged or pitied, I trained until I looked semi-graceful during the long boarding, and I didn't fall like
