Personally, I\u2019m more in the camp of B.F.

Constructivism theorizes that all of our learning is built upon previous learning and experiences. During interviews if asked \u201care you an out of the box thinker?\u201d I normally answer, \u201cEveryone thinks within their own box. Our perceptions, ideas, and experiences paint how we think and solve problems. The only way to truly think outside of our own boxes is to have outside influence that can build upon our current knowledge and increases the breadth of our boxes.\u201d This answer is mostly met with minor contemplation before the next question is asked. At the time I was unaware that my insights were a philosophy of constructivism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut wait!\u201d I hear you say, \u201cSkinner was a behaviourist!\u201d and I would say to you \u201cabsolutely, and with luck behaviourism, constructivism, and cognitivism all work on the same continuum\u201d (Ertmer &amp; Newby, 2013).
