constructivist teaching

Constructivist teaching is an approach where students actively build their own understanding and knowledge through hands-on experiences and problem-solving, rather than passively receiving information. Teachers facilitate learning by encouraging curiosity, inquiry, and exploration, allowing students to connect new ideas to their existing knowledge. This method promotes critical thinking, independence, and a deeper comprehension of subjects, as learners are engaged in the process of discovering concepts for themselves. It emphasizes student-centered learning, where the teacher acts more as a guide than a direct source of all answers.
