Constructivism: theoretical perspectives and educational implications

Abstract

    One of the key points in defining a modem education quality is learner autonomy that suggests that learners are capable of self-constructing knowledge widi teacher instructions and with self-training on methods of scholarly inquiry. Among various approaches to education, constructivism has the criteria of an adequate and scientific way to train students to be selfeducating, autonomous learners. This literature review with detailed investigation into sources of materials written by a number of scholars will reveal constructivism characteristics, based on which recommendations for educational implications are pointed out.
