Social Constructivism & Teaching Strategies

Social Constructivism visual

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
