Constructivist Philosophy
Constructivist teaching is when students are encouraged to learn by doing activities, solving problems, and working together. This method believes that students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. Teachers who use this approach guide students through learning rather than just giving them information. The key idea is that students learn better when they are engaged in their own learning and can connect new information to what they already know.
