This document discusses the constructivist approach to teaching, which believes that people construct their own knowledge through observation, understanding, and experience rather than passive learning. Key aspects of this approach include creating a learner-centered environment where the teacher acts as a guide, allowing for democratic participation and multiple representations of concepts. Assessment strategies involve open discussions, charting learning progress, hands-on activities, experiments, research projects, and field trips to apply concepts in real-world contexts. The teacher's role is to facilitate discussion and prompt students to develop their own conclusions.
