ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we consider pedagogy in the area of the social classroom, that is, how teachers can operate within the theory. We have seen that constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs when the learner constructs his or her own knowledge and understanding. Learning is an active process that means that the learner must actively participate in the process; learning does not occur when the learner passively receives information.Learners are the makers of meaning and knowledge,not simply the receivers.
