THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSTRUCTIVISM FOR THE TEACHING OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the theoretical importance of constructivism as a development model that allows the Physical Education teacher to recognize and encourage an active and meaningful practice of the subject from a global perspective of improving the learning experience. For this, the applied methodology consisted of a set of theoretical methods such as: the comparative method, which allowed to compare the different theories around constructivism, establishing similarities and differences, the scientific modeling favored the structural and functional analysis of constructivism from the teaching of the physical culture, scientific abstraction played an important role in determining the essential aspects of constructivism through analysis and synthesis and with the analysis of documents applying the analysis of topics and domain were established the essential aspects in relation to the bibliography used in the study, encouraging the reflection of the contexts that concern the application of constructivist practice in the current educational system. The research was conclusive in emphasizing that the teacher's mastery in the application of constructivism leads to the diversification of pertinent strategies and practical activities that allow to dynamize the teaching-learning process, promoting a meaningful and functional learning in the learner.

Constructivism is a term that takes up more space in social sciences since the second half of the 20th century, although the term itself was coines earlier, specifically in the 1920s when it signified an artistic and architectural movement in the Soviet Union. One assumption of this paper is that the activity is a central function and it is implanted in the concept of constructivism since its creation. This paper offers a brief overview of the development of term constructivism and later explains the basic epistemological assumptions on which constructivist theories are based. What is common to all constructivist theories is proactive cognition, that is, the already mentioned activity, in this case, in the process of making a meaning. Theories of adult education zhat rely on constructivist epistemology are also presented. Finally, the paper explanis the understanding of activity in teaching and the application of the constructivist principle in teaching.

En este artículo se plantean problemas actuales que presenta el sistema educativo y que impiden implementar la concepción constructivista, quedando la misma como una ilusión que muchos proclaman pero pocos entienden y aplican. Se recuerda además el rol que como docentes debemos tener claros y el papel que debemos asignarle al error dentro de esta corriente. Por último se sugieren mejoras que deben implementarse, sin las cuales es imposible seguir avanzando y mejorando nuestra educación. Palabras clave: Educación, constructivismo, error, problemas, soluciones, alumno, docente. Abstract This article exposes current problems present in the educational system that do not allow the implementation of the constructivist concept, thus; leaving it as an illusion that many proclaim but few understand and apply. Furthermore, it recalls the teacher´s role, which we must be clear of; and the role that must be assigned to the error in this current of thinking. Finally, it suggests the implementation of certain improvements, without which it is impossible to keep on moving forward and improving our education.

Full textAbstract:
The main objectives of this theoretical paper are to compare some constructivist-related learning theories and explore how they can be adequately used in educational technology and distance education. After a brief introduction, constructivism is defined as a general philosophy of education encompassing several different learning theories. The article then presents and discusses the following theories: situated cognition, activity theory, experiential learning, anchored instruction, and authentic learning. Connectivism or distributed learning is also presented as a new and important theory, including its pedagogical view and practice in massive open online courses (MOOCs). These theories are then organized in a coherent way, classified under the constructivist umbrella, pointing their common and distinctive features. Connectivism is positioned as a new philosophy of education for the digital age, making Vygotsky’s concept of zone of proximal development (ZPD) more flexible and stretching it to include learning that lies outside the learner, in social networks and technological tools. The text finally proposes further work on how these theories can be properly combined and used as frameworks for constructivist projects and activities in the fields of educational technology and distance education. The article is based on the search and review of peer-reviewed articles on constructivism, connectivism, the other aforementioned theories, and education technology and distance education._________________________________________________________Este artículo teórico pretende comparar algunas teorías de aprendizaje relacionadas con el constructivismo y explorar cómo pueden usarse adecuadamente en el campo de la tecnología educativa y la educación a distancia. Después de una breve introducción, el constructivismo queda definido como una filosofía general de la educación que abarca varias teorías de aprendizaje diferentes. El artículo presenta y analiza las siguientes teorías: cognición situada, teoría de la actividad, aprendizaje experiencial, instrucción anclada y aprendizaje auténtico. El conectivismo o aprendizaje distribuido también se presenta como una nueva e importante teoría, que incluye su visión pedagógica y práctica en cursos masivos y abiertos en línea (MOOCs). Organizamos estas teorías de manera coherente bajo el paraguas constructivista e indicamos las principales similitudes y diferencias entre ellas. El conectivismo se posiciona como una nueva filosofía de la educación para la era digital, flexibilizando y ampliando el concepto de Zona de Desarrollo Próximo (ZDP) de Vygotsky para incluir el aprendizaje que se encuentra fuera del alumno, en redes sociales y herramientas tecnológicas. El texto finalmente propone un trabajo adicional sobre cómo estas teorías pueden combinarse y utilizarse adecuadamente como marcos para proyectos y actividades constructivistas en los campos de la tecnología educativa y la educación a distancia. El artículo se basa en la investigación y revisión de artículos revisados por pares sobre el constructivismo, el conectivismo, las otras teorías mencionadas y la tecnología educativa y la educación a distancia.

Constructivist learning theory and instructional design theory serve as the foundation for the design of the teaching process. According to constructivists, learning occurs when students are in a particular situation, such as a social or cultural setting, with the assistance of others, using the appropriate learning resources, and creating their own meaning. A scientific theoretical foundation and a philosophical methodology are provided for the classroom instruction of fundamental music by modern constructivism theory, which adapts to the advancement of the times and the demands of the new educational environment. This paper, guided by constructivism theory, conducts extensive research on constructivism theory from two perspectives, theory and practice, proposes a general teaching mode for music under the auspices of constructivism theory, and attempts to apply it to music education. Through the comparison experiment, it was determined that the experimental class’s final grade was 69.87 and its piano level index was 0.0824, while the control class’s grade was 64.69 and its piano level index was 0.0741. In terms of piano proficiency and test results, the experimental class outperforms the control class. Contrary to the traditional teaching approach, constructivist music education has been shown to be more effective at raising the musical proficiency of regular students, as well as improving students’ motivation for learning music, their methods of instruction, their initiative, and the environment in which they learn.

The constructivist approach is seen to be useful notably in science, mathematics and tertiary education. An account of non-radical constructivism is advanced and applied to classroom teaching and learning, and teaching strategies derived from the application of constructivist principles are identified and evaluated. It is suggested that many traditional classrooms are places of over-control, and certain traditional teaching methods may actually hinder students' potential to procreate human knowledge. Constructivism represents a fundamental challenge to many aspects of educational praxis, and may change significantly the ways by which young people are mass educated.

Researches attest that Constructivism is the most efficient alternative to the present practice and notion of education. It maybe the road less traveled but it yields desirable results that cannot be found in the traditional school. Constructivist schools has relied much on the foundational philosophy and psychological researches primarily of John Dewey, Jerome Bruner, Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget. In the Philippines, the non-graded system of Angelicum College in Quezon City is close to practicing constructivism in education, found in its institutional non-traditional philosophy and practice. Constructivist practices in Angelicum College are found in their Twelve-Point basic principles. Though Constructivism as a practice has not yet been popularized and the positive result it offers are not yet readily accepted by many schools, the observations and practices of Angelicum College will justify its reliability.

<p>In the way to develop the educational system in Saudi Arabia, the emphasis was only on the materials with no more attention for the role of the learner and the teacher in the learning process or even the external factors around them. However, there are many theories and approaches that may help the Saudi students in different levels to understand the real aims of learning. Constructivism is one of the most influential theories in learning but not the only one. Constructivist approach has different versions that might be applied successfully in Saudi context. This article will introduce two versions of constructivism which are cognitive and social constructivism. This approach can make a real change in learners and teachers in the circle of learning process in Saudi Arabia. Constructivism will be presented as an effective theory of knowledge can improve the educational system of Saudi Arabia.</p>

Abstract Constructivist approaches have been highly influential in German discussions on Religious Education in recent years. However, the use of this theoretical framework has so far focused mainly on the didactical implications of constructivism. Building upon current concepts of constructivist learning in RE, but also with reference to the larger debate in theology and pedagogy, this article addresses the potentials and challenges of constructivism for a theological understanding of Religious Education.

Our intention in this article is to provide an interpretation of the influence of constructivist thought on mathematics educators starting around 1960 and proceeding on up to the present time. First, we indicate how the initial influence of constructivist thought stemmed mainly from Piaget's cognitive-development psychology rather than from his epistemology. In this, we point to what in retrospect appears to be inevitable distortions in the interpretations of Piaget 's psychology due primarily to its interpretation in the framework of Cartesian epistemology. Second, we identify a preconstructivist revolution in research in mathematics education beginning in 1970 and proceeding on up to 1980. There were two subperiods in this decade separated by Ernst von Glasersfeld's presentation of radical constructivism to the Jean Piaget Society in Philadelphia in 1975. Third, we mark the beginning of the constructivist revolution in mathematics education research by the publication of two important papers in the JRME (Richards & von Glasersfeld, 1980; von Glasersfeld, 1981). Fourth, we indicate how the constructivist revolution in mathematics education research served as a period of preparation for the reform movement that is currently underway in school mathematics.

This conceptual paper provides an overview of constructivist education and the development and use of constructivist principles in contemporary higher education, outlining constructivism and some specific facets of student-centred learning. Drawing from first-hand experience and using two examples of current university assessment practice, reflective learning, and learning outcomes, the author argues that, despite claimsconstructivist pedagogical approaches have become normative practice, when it comes to assessment processes, constructivism has not been fully embraced. The question ‘is there clear evidence that constructivist principles have been applied to all aspects of university undergraduate study?’ is considered. This is important and significant and should be of concern to all educators who espouse constructivist principles in higher education.

Constructivism is an approach to learning that believes in the personal construction of knowledge by learners through the interaction of prior knowledge to form a new experience. Constructivism represents the state-of-the-art in the teaching of Mathematics and Sciences at all levels of education. However, there is less work on constructivist teaching and learning in Entrepreneurship Education. This study reviewed theoretical and empirical studies on constructivism with emphasis on how it can help organizations achieve value creation through the vehicle of Entrepreneurship Education. Also, the study summarizes the pedagogical goals of constructivist learning and conceptualizes the dimensions of Entrepreneurship Education, the relevance of Entrepreneurship Education, teaching methods in Business Education, and brings out an understanding of the paradigm shift. The study reveals that the focus of Entrepreneurship Education is to promote innovation and value creation among learners. Consequently, the researcher has drawn a useful conclusion on the application of constructivist approaches in teaching Entrepreneurship Education, and it was recommended, among others; that stable industrial policy on the collaboration between small business entrepreneurs and research institutions for the exploitation of research findings of those institutions to achieve sustainable technological development.

Davis and Sumara (2003) argue that differences between commonsense assumptions about learning and those upon which constructivism rests present a significant challenge for the fostering of constructivist approaches to teaching in schools. Indeed, as Rink (2001) suggests, initiating any change process for teaching method needs to involve some understanding of the theories supporting it. Although there has been considerable discussion about constructivism in the physical education literature over the past decade, there has been less attention paid to the assumptions about learning and knowledge that underpin it. This article makes a contribution toward redressing this oversight in the literature by examining the epistemology and assumptions about learning that constructivist theories of learning rest upon. Drawing on the work of Davis and Sumara (2003), I suggest that the term “complex” learning theories may offer a more useful description of the sometimes confusing range of constructivist approaches. I provide examples of, and suggestions for, the application of constructivism in practice and within which the body forms a prominent theme.

Constructivism is one of philosophy of knowledge that emphasizes that our knowledge is (shapes) construction of ourselves. Knowledge is not an idea of reality. Knowledge is always a result of cognitive construction of reality by one’s activities. Some psychologists who started on constructivism approach are Piaget and Vygostky. The difference between them is where Piaget more emphasizes and discusses constructivism of learning process personally but Vygostky develops constructivism of learning process socially. Both of Individual Cognitive Constructivist and Sociocultural Constructivist dominate the constructivism concept. Constructivism learning consider that student continuously examine new information which contrast with old rule and revise the rule it is no longer appropriate. For encouraging student more active involve in learning process, it is should that: 1) learning atmosphere is democratic; 2) learning activities goes interactively and student-centered; 3) teacher encourages student to learn autonomously and responsible for their learning activities. Looking at the education practice in Indonesia, the concept constructivism is not implemented yet, although its concept is purposed, for example in KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) that clearly gives freedom to education units included teachers to build student competency that suitable with student needs and interest. One of some main problems of in learning in formal education (school) recently is lowness of student absorption. It was showed by student result learning average that still bad. This is of course a result of learning process that still conventional and far to touch student dimension, it means how actually learning is.

The study sought to establish science teachers’ perceptions about the learning environments and how they implemented constructivist teaching strategies. An explanatory mixed method research design was adopted. The Constructivist Learning Environment Survey was administered to 180 purposively selected grade 10-12 science teachers from 30 schools and analysed using descriptive statistics. Semi-structured interviews were administered to five selected teachers who had shown to be more constructivist than others and data was analysed using constant comparative method. Social constructivism was adopted as the theoretical framework. Findings revealed teachers’ positive disposition in relation to personal relevance, learner negotiation and critical voice as some of the key constructs depicting a constructivist learning environment. Teachers’ disposition in relation to shared control and scientific uncertainty reflected traditional perceptions. Teachers used cooperative teaching strategies, real-life examples, and questions to elicit learners’ prior knowledge. Findings have implications for teacher professional development in classrooms showing diversity in learners’ backgrounds. Keywords: Constructivist learning; learner-centred classrooms; prior knowledge; social constructivism

Today's technology has had a significant impact in a variety of sectors, including education. Education today is not only done offline in the classroom, but also through interactive and collaborative online classes using a meeting app. The aim of this study is to explore a wide range of digital technologies that can be used in a constructivist-based learning approach to improve the quality of education in the digital age. The main issue in this study is the importance of the use of digital technology in the teaching learning process with a learning approach based on constructivism. The method used in this research is the study of literature or Library reviews, by collecting and analyzing various journals on digital technology, constructivism, and education. The result of this research is that digital technologies integrated into constructivist-based education can help improve the quality and efficiency of education. In conclusion, digital technology has the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of learning constructivism in the digital age, but should be used wisely and responsibly by teachers and pupils.

Social constructivism is, first and foremost, the theory of knowledge focused on the role of social processes in knowledge creation. Its proponents are interested in interactions among people which are observed as the ways through which shared versions of knowledge are constructed. Starting from the widely acknowledged need for learning with deep understanding and increased interest in the social context of learning, the paper theoretically analyses social constructivism and its influence on educational practice. The goal is to critically re-examine the social constructivist perspective as a theory of teaching and learning and point out to its educational values based on certain conclusions mentioned in the literature. The paper also explores and highlights the basic starting points of social constructivism as well as its different interpretations. In addition, the paper studies relevant issues for education and learning suitable for applying social constructivism, both at the institutional and interpersonal level. It is concluded that social constructivism, applied in practice as a culture rather than as a set of isolated activities, is highly significant for understanding the complexity of the phenomenon of teaching and learning in school context, as well as for providing concrete guiding ideas (learning through cooperation, discovering and solving problems, joint exploration of knowledge and world reinterpretation) for enhancing educational theory and practice.

This study explores the efficacy of the constructivist approach in Social Studies (IPS) education, investigating its role in shaping the learning landscape. IPS, a blend of social sciences tailored for educational purposes, becomes a focal point as constructivism emerges as a theoretical framework. Defined as a cognitive process based on students' experiences, constructivism emphasizes active knowledge construction. The research employs a literature review methodology, analyzing trends from articles published from 2019 to 2023. The findings underscore the positive impact of implementing constructivism in IPS education, fostering heightened student engagement, motivation, and improved academic achievement. This study offers insights for educators and researchers seeking to enhance student-centric learning strategies in the dynamic realm of IPS education.

AbstractConstructivist literature has become increasingly prominent in the area of special education. The nature of constructivism and its relevance and limitations for students with special needs is discussed, as is the importance of appropriate research in determining the efficacy of instructional interventions. A search of the literature into the efficacy of constructivism for students with special needs in K-12 settings revealed a predominance of descriptive and discussion-based research and very limited experimental research. The limited existing experimental research indicates that constructivist instructional approaches may have circumscribed applications in special education. Specifically, they may be appropriate to applications for students with learning difficulties in areas such as science education. Nevertheless, there are major methodological and interpretative problems that undermine confidence in the existing body of research. These problems include an absence of adequate procedural reliability data, interventions that often involve teaching single or very small groups of students, and conditions that do not approximate regular classrooms. There is also evidence suggesting that constructivist approaches may be inappropriate and ineffective for students with intellectual disabilities. The need for considerable caution and extensive further research in this area is evident, in light of the ready adoption of constructivism in schools and the increase of constructivist literature.

In this article, I discuss the assumptions of constructivism and how it can influence teaching practices in promoting critical thinking and empowering students to become active and engaged citizens. I emphasise the role and significance of constructivist education in minimising the possibility of shaping students with submissive, uthoritarian and ideologically susceptible personalities. In the article, I argue that constructivism can be a powerful tool for dealing with any manifestation of ideological thinking and promoting a liberal attitude among students, making it an effective strategy for promoting freedom, a deliberative attitude, and critical thinking.

Se vive una época de cambios con el actual paradigma tecno-científico y la educación no es una excepción. Desde la teoría socio-constructivista del aprendizaje y el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la educación, se justifica un aprendizaje más significativo y autónomo con base en la investigación dicente. El socio-constructivismo plantea la participación del estudiante dentro de un proyecto de aprendizaje colectivo, donde potenciará su capacidad para resolver problemas contextualizados, que le permitirán desarrollar un proceso de construcción social del conocimiento, apoyado claro está, en los medios y herramientas tecnológicas a su alcance. El presente trabajo pretende demostrar que el aprendizaje autónomo con el uso de la investigación es posible si se aplica un enfoque socio constructivista al aprendizaje con el apoyo de la tecnología educativa. AbstractA time of changes is experienced related to the current techno-scientific paradigm and education is no an exception. From the socio-constructivist theory of learning and the use of the information and communication technology (ICT) in education, a more meaningful and autonomous learning is justified which is based on researching of learners. The socio-constructivism proposes the participation of students within a group learning project, which will enhance their ability to solve contextualized problems, allowing them to develop a social construction process of knowledge, supported by technological tools at their fingertips. This work aims to demonstrate that autonomous learning with the use of research is possible if a socio-constructivist approach to learning with the support of educational technology is applied.

This article tries to explore the constructivist grounded theory (CGT) in qualitative research. American sociologist Kathy Charmaz has developed a new qualitative research field “Constructivist Grounded Theory” for the first time in 2006. Constructivist grounded theory is a qualitative research methodology that draws comparison between the ethical principles of deontology, utilitarian and virtue ethics, and individuals seek to understand the world in which they live and work. It is a popular method for research studies mainly in psychology, education, and nursing. In social sciences, it represents culture, context, literacy, personal experiences, as well as application of knowledge. It also presents the theoretical substructures of symbolic interactionism and constructivism. Constructivism is used for research, learning, and teaching with peers. There are various types of constructivism, such as social, psychological, personal, radical, and contextual constructivism. On the other hand, symbolic interactionism is the process of human interaction that provides the meanings for the experiences through language, symbols, and social interactions. This study tries to investigate how constructivist grounded theory has developed in times from the original grounded theory of Glaser and Strauss. The paper also tries to highlight characteristics, application, and importance of constructivist grounded theory.

The theory of social constructivism emphasizes on the fundamental idea that human learning and knowledge are created via social interaction and that they are shared rather than individual experiences. Contrary to the idea that learning is the passive transfer of information from one person to another, social constructivism sees learning as the active production of knowledge. The main aim of the present study is to appreciate the importance of social constructivist approach in the modern education. Secondly, to identify the various methods of implementing social constructivism approach for enhancing student’s learning in e-classroom. Major challenges faced during implementation & execution of social constructivist approach in e-class room instruction by the teachers is also discussed. In order to successfully implement social constructivist approach in e-classroom various ways has been suggested.

This study introduces cognitive constructivism in reference to its emergence in the development of medical education. The main concepts of cognitive constructivism as they relate to knowledge construction and the learner’s process were described, and cognitive constructivism as a learning theory was examined in its capacity to help interpret the phenomenon of medical education. Piaget’s theory of cognitive constructivism and Ausubel’s meaningful learning theory were applied in an attempt to explore the role of students and educators, curriculum, and teaching and learning in medical education from a cognitive constructivist perspective. When faced with new information, learners compare it with the existing schema to understand, and in order to resolve conflicts caused by inconsistencies in the information, learners incorporate assimilation and accommodation to help maintain equilibration. Therefore, instructors must meaningfully connect new content to the learner’s existing schema and make endless efforts to satisfy learners’ intellectual curiosity. The basic premises of medical education content is a suitable subject of meaningful learning. A learner who already possesses well-structured knowledge is likely to experience meaningful learning and a richer intellectual experience. Therefore, it is necessary to organize the curriculum strategically and elaborately so that learners can have an improved and effective learning experience.

Mathematics education suffers from a condition that resembles schizophrenia. One of its personalities is exhibited in the day-to-day realities of classroom learning; another is evident in journal articles, in-service presentations, and other such forums where educators present alternative realities of learning. For the purposes of this article, these personalities will be labeled, respectively, as the practice and theory of mathematics education. This article focuses on the latest form of the theoretical personality of mathematics education, constructivism, by asking what is constructivist learning theory and what does it imply for the practice of learning mathematics?

Full textAbstract:
Research on constructivism's teaching methodology and efficacy in the classroom has been conducted in a wide range of domains, but it has mostly concentrated on two areas - the learning of scientific and engineering majors and the acquisition of English as a second language. There are limited research studies on the influence of constructivism on international Chinese education. In the context of China's pursuit of international cultural and educational cooperation, international Chinese education has gradually entered the international public's vision. Constructivism's research on language teaching mainly focuses on English and general second foreign language learning and rarely focuses on the perspective of Chinese as a second language classroom. In this context, the purpose of this study is to explore how constructivism affects the teaching and learning of Chinese in both China and international Chinese teaching environments, and some suggestions for improvement based on constructivism are put forward for the Chinese international classroom. The constructivism teaching method is expected to be beneficial to Chinese learning, improve students' self-learning awareness and learning motivation, and have a positive impact on Chinese learning outcomes. This study will make a minor contribution to the research of constructivism in Chinese teaching and learning.

Constructivism is a very complex and ambiguous concept, whereas the constructivist approach is mostly presented in three main aspects: ontological and epistemological (conditions and capabilities of reality existence and cognition), psychological (mental processes of knowledge constructing) and pedagogical (processes of learning and creating concepts). In this article I am searching the answer to two basic questions, the first one reading: What are the potential results of the constructivist approach in connection with diversity pedagogy and inclusion learning for education and the functioning of schools? The posthuman critique of social constructivism formulates the second of the questions I want to answer in the text: how can the constructivist approach cooperate with some new contemporary social theories, especially the new realism (materialism) and pedagogy of things? Employing the Piagetian concept of decentration, I take a critical look at how and in what sense constructivism could influence the change of meanings ascribed to categories like norm(s), learning difficulties or special educational needs, as well as reformulate the general philosophy of education and eventually affect the functioning of schools as accessible learning environments.

Full textAbstract:
It is obvious that the constructivist perspective is becoming a dominant paradigm in the field of the natural science education. “Constructivism” is not a specific pedagogy but a psychological theory of knowledge. The main idea of this theory is that humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Central to constructivism is the notion that learners play an active role in ‘constructing’ their own meaning. In general it is true. However, this theory can not be against the traditional way of teaching and learning. Constructivist approaches require learners to be active and confident in themselves and their abilities. However, learners may not always be active in the teach-ing and learning process. Quite often, learners` abilities are quite limited. In this situa-tion, a constructive approach is hardly effective. Why we want to have a behaviorally active learner? According A. Mayer (2004) educators produce materials that require learning to be behaviorally active and not be "cognitively active." Is it constructivist approach is OK nowadays? Are we sure? Who can deny that the traditional teaching / learning is wrong? Science curricula and teaching methods are changing continuously. Traditional teaching has also changed. Such teaching is fundamentally different compared to the teaching of a few decades ago. Both the curriculum and the context are different. Teaching and learning process is unthinkable without modern ICT. This itself requires a qualitatively new approach in science teaching from the teacher`s side. Our imagination that traditional education is the same as one hundred years ago is incorrect. Is it reasonable to promote ‘constructivism’ as a theory appropriate for science teaching in an uncritical way? There is no universally correct theory. This question should be discussed as large as possible in different context by scholars and teachers. Key words: constructivist approach, science education, traditional teaching.

The article studies the main ideas of constructivist pedagogy and their influence on contemporary culture. The attention is focused on such issues as methodology of the learning process in pedagogy of constructivism. This problem is examined in the context of modern education. The author studies the links of pedagogy and constructivism with philosophical constructivist concepts (P. Watzlawick, H. Maturana and F. Varela). The author examines the positive and negative aspects of the constructivist methodology in the sphere of modern pedagogy. The analysis of constructivist pedagogy shows the semantic content of such principles of constructivism, as the specificity of the learning process as a process of constructing meanings, and problem-based learning, communicative approach to learning. Based on this, the study focuses on the understanding of the interaction of teacher and student in the learning process. The author pays special attention to the fact that according to the constructivist pedagogy the main subject of the process of education is not a teacher, but a pupil. This idea significantly transforms classical model of hierarchical learning. Thanks to the constructivist methodology, the author describes effective teaching methods in contemporary culture. It is noted that important components of the learning process in constructivism is the formation of motivation of the student, as well as a relaxed and creative approach to the learning process of the teacher. The author highlights a problem such as understanding learning as complex process of social interaction of a teacher and a pupil. This process forms value meanings tailored to the specific situations faced by the student. As necessary components of constructivist models of teaching the author highlights the practical orientation of the learning process, and changing requirements for teacher, which is understood in constructivist pedagogy not as much a mentor, but as a moderator of the learning process.

Education seeks to build the best quality human resources for the future.One way to make this happen is by knowing the various forms of learning theories that function so that the process of errors in learning can be minimized. Apart from that, to increase students' enthusiasm for learning, teachers must innovate, including byusing a constructivist approach to learning. So this research aims to describe the Constructivist Learning Theory in Education. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data from primary and secondary sources, then analyzing the content of relevant discussions and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that constructivist learning theory is an approach to the individual learning process in which it has principles and characteristics to answer various relevant problems, adapts to the current curriculum, focuses on student activity, and participates in assessing students' opinions when they express their opinions. The steps must include apperception, exploration, consolidation, attitude formation, and assessment using a format. Meanwhile, several learning models that are currently running are based on constructivism, including Problem-Based Learning, Authentic Learning, Inquiry-Based Learning, and Cooperative Learning.Keywords: Learning Theory, Constructivism, Education, Learning Models

Full textAbstract:
Constructivist theory has been prominent in recent research on mathematics learning and has provided a basis for recent mathematics education reform efforts. Although constructivism has the potential to inform changes in mathematics teaching, it offers no particular vision of how mathematics should be taught; models of teaching based on constructivism are needed. Data are presented from a whole-class, constructivist teaching experiment in which problems of teaching practice required the teacher/researcher to explore the pedagogical implications of his theoretical (constructivist) perspectives. The analysis of the data led to the development of a model of teacher decision making with respect to mathematical tasks. Central to this model is the creative tension between the teacher's goals with regard to student learning and his responsibility to be sensitive and responsive to the mathematical thinking of the students.

Although the rise of constructivism calls conventional remedial and special education practices into question, it also represents a positive opportunity for progress and renewal in the professions and in society. emphasizing the constructivist principles of voice, collaboration, and inclusion, the authors identify the influence of constructivism across three interrelated levels of reform: structural reforms in school organization, pedagogical reforms in classrooms, and institutional reforms in human service systems generally relative to the “school-linked services integration” movement. by doing so, the authors argue that, far more than a new special education service delivery model, inclusion is the emerging cultural logic of the 21st century. they conclude the article with a political-economic argument for inclusive education and a discussion of the implications of constructivist reform efforts for the broader possibility of democratic renewal in society.

Full textAbstract:
Radical constructivism is currently a major, if not the dominant, theoretical orientation in the mathematics education community, in relation to children's learning. There are, however, aspects of children's learning that are challenges to this perspective, and what appears to be “at least temporary states of intersubjectivity” (Cobb, Wood, & Yackel, 1991, p. 162) in the classroom is one such challenge. In this paper I discuss intersubjectivity and through it offer an examination of the limitations of the radical constructivist perspective. I suggest that the extension of radical constructivism toward a social constructivism, in an attempt to incorporate intersubjectivity, leads to an incoherent theory of learning. A comparison of Piaget's positioning of the individual in relation to social life with that of Vygotsky and his followers is offered, in support of the claim that radical constructivism does not offer enough as an explanation of children's learning of mathematics.

A new Science and Technology program had been applied in Turkey since 2005. Constructivism has been the predominant influence on the program. Accordingly, science teachers are expected to have beliefs that are consistent with constructivism. However, the question of “what are the Turkish science teachers’ beliefs” is important because, the success of the program is dependent upon the teachers’ beliefs. This paper reports on the investigation of the science teachers’ beliefs about teaching science, learning science and managing behavior problems and any relationships among these belief systems. Data were collected through interviews with 18 science teachers. Results indicated that most of the science teachers held transitive beliefs about teaching science, and traditional beliefs about learning science and managing behavior problems. While teachers with 1-10 years experiences held a constructivist belief, this belief gave way to traditional belief as the teaching experience advanced. Beliefs of teachers were both interrelated and nested. Key words: classroom management, constructivism, learning science, teacher beliefs, teaching science.

Developing and Applying a Critical and Transformative Model to Address ESD in Teacher EducationA reflective case study approach, including focus interviews, reflective/reflexive journals and analysis of project-based works of 30 pre-service teachers participating in an undergraduate course was employed to investigate the discrepancy between the teachers' constructivist conceptions and the actual practice. The identified discrepancy seemed to be an outcome of the difficulty translating constructivism into teaching practice, but also of the misleading conception of constructivism as a homogeneous philosophy. Through reflective practice, participants were able to deconstruct and reconstruct their theories and practices of teaching in more emancipatory ways addressing issues of education for sustainable development (ESD). This case study helped understand the nature of change process towards teaching and learning for more sustainable futures.
