The Constructivism in Education Constructivism founded by Jean Piaget, which emphasizes the importance of the active role of learners in constructing knowledge for themselves. Students are thought to use background knowledge and concepts to assist them in their acquisition of new information. • 9
The Constructivism: foundation of constructivist theory of learning The learning theories of John Dewey, Maria Montessori and David A. Kolb also served as the foundation of constructivist learning theory in the classroom. Constructivism has many varieties such as:  active learning, discovery learning, experiential learning, authentic learning and knowledge building, but all versions promote a student's free exploration within a given framework or structure. 10
The teacher acts as a facilitator who encourages students to discover principles for themselves and to construct knowledge by working answering open-ended questions and solving real-world problems. As a facilitator, a teacher should encourage curiosity and discussion among his/her students as well as promoting their autonomy.
