Social Constructivism & Teaching Strategies

Social constructivism is the difference between a traditional approach and a project based approach to learning. The social constructivist philosophy is the difference between a lecture and a discussion.

The social constructivist philosophy believes that people learn best when:

• they interact with the learning material
• construct new material for others
• interact with other students about the material
