I’m also a Software Engineering student, and I agree that our faculty applies the principles of Constructivism most predominantly! Many of our assignments involves hands-on projects and collaborative group work. We learn by actively engaging with programming languages, frameworks, and tools. We also construct own understanding through coding exercises, debugging, and working on software development projects.
I think that one might point out that these mental processing of new information also represent the principle of Cognitivism. I think that the current instruction model for SENG at UVIC would align well with both learning theories.
