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.

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.
