what are Learning
Theories?
These are ideas about the ways students learn
and retain information. These principles provide
different frameworks that teachers can use to
adapt to students’ diverse learning styles and
academic needs.

what is
constructivism?
Constructivism is “an approach to learning that
holds that people actively construct or make
their own knowledge and that reality is
determined by the experiences of the learner”
(Elliott et al., 2000:256). A celebrated idea in
education, constructivism has been around for a
long time.

Constructivism in mathematics
Teaching
Teaching math through constructivist
methods allows students to deepen their
knowledge beyond rote memorization,
develop meaningful context to comprehend
the content, and take command of the
learning process as an active participant
rather than a sit-and-get observer.
Constructivism in mathematics
Teaching
Instead of receiving knowledge passively
though lectures and memorization.
Constructivist teaching uses guided
discovery, discussions on thoughts and
ideas as well as activities to help students
learn.
