Constructivist Pedagogy supported by FeedbackFruits
Help learners become active participants who build knowledge by discovering, transforming, and integrating information rather than passively consuming it.

What is constructivist pedagogy?
Constructivism is an approach to teaching and learning based on the idea that cognition, or learning, is the result of active mental construction. Rather than simply absorbing information, students make sense of new ideas by connecting them to their existing knowledge and experiences. This process of building on prior understanding allows learners to develop deeper insights, reshape misconceptions, and create more meaningful knowledge structures. In practice, constructivist learning emphasizes exploration, problem-solving, and reflection, encouraging students to take an active role in making meaning rather than relying solely on direct instruction.
Why constructivist pedagogy?
Constructivism is valuable because it equips students with skills they can use beyond the classroom, such as problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability. By engaging learners in active exploration and connecting concepts to real-life situations, it makes learning more relevant and memorable. This practical focus not only improves retention but also helps students transfer their knowledge effectively to new challenges.
Increased student ownership and creativity
Empower students to take ownership of their learning by encouraging curiosity, exploration, and active involvement. By engaging their creativity, students develop the ability to express knowledge in diverse ways, making learning more meaningful, memorable, and transferable to real-life situations.
