How to use it?
Teachers:
Instructors are meant to be
facilitators, not teachers.
Facilitators provide an environment
for the learner to construct his/her
own conclusions.
Instructors make use of group work.
Instructors may utilize Socratic
methods for student-oriented
discussions.
How to use it?
Teachers:
Instructors might utilize the
internet to research current
events.
Instructors could assign
collaborative research projects
and power point presentations.
How to use it?
Students:
Learners should be active in
classroom discussions
They could reflect on the
material with one another
They could relate the to a past
experience
They could utilize the internet to
research connections between
the material and current events. Back to

My Classroom
• Constructivism relates to
my personal teaching
philosophies in that we view
every student as an
individual
• We believe that the
students should construct
their own knowledge, not
rely on lectures.
My Classroom
• I would assign hands-on
activities to ensure that
students are actively
learning.
• I believe that students
should work together to
solve problems. This would
aid them in thinking
critically,

HOW DO WE OPERATIONALIZE
CONSTRUCTIVISM INSIDE THE CLASSROOM?
Use Project-Based Learning in the classroom
Practice collaborative learning through pair or group activities with
clear roles for each student
Tap on the Higher-Order Thinking Skills of students
Employ authentic learning to engage students in performing tasks
and creating products that have practical application and relevance
Develop assessment tools that place high value on learning
process and student participation
Foster and ensure a safe learning environment
Conclusion/Summary
constructivism has its advantages and
disadvantages. We just need to use it purposively
to make fit relevant. As shown, effective teaching
is not just an art, it is also a science based on
established learning theory and its alignment with
classroom practices. And because fitechnologies
continue to dominate the field of education, we
might consider embracing other subtheories and
theories like social constructivism and
