    Constructivist Pedagogy: The imperative for Meta Cognitive Reflection (MCR)
    (Regional Institute of Education,Ajmer, 2018) Behera, Biswajit
    The core of learning is to develop basic forms of understanding which is characterized by forms and processes of verification, validation and justification, knowledge creation and creativity. Both explicit and articulated knowledge as well as tacit and experiential knowledge, creativity and excellence are all integral to the form of knowledge and knowing. It is therefore to organize learning experiences to empower ‘learners’ and ‘transform learning’. Reflection is critical to learning and transfer; it means to be embedded in assessment. A related approach is to require learning to serve a Meta cognitive reflection (MCR). This strategy is the presentation of multiple perspectives to learners by providing multiple representations on the content because there is no single schema. Therefore, Constructivist pedagogy can become the medium for practices of reflection. Strategies like reflective lesson logs, reflective journal, self assessment questions, wait time and group processing which provide opportunities for use of Meta cognitive reflection are suggested. Key words: Constructivist pedagogy, Reflection, Meta cognitive reflection (MCR)
