Constructivism Learning theory : A Paradigm for Teaching and Learning Dr. BADA, Steve Olusegun Depart ment of Psychology Federal Un iversity of Education, Kano Abstract: Constructivism represents one of the big ideas in education. Its implications for how teachers teach and learn to teach are enormous. If our efforts in reforming education for all students are to succeed, then we must focus on students. To date, a focus on student-centered Learning may well be the most important contribution of Constructivism .
The theory suggests that humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Constructivism is not a specific pedagogy. Piaget's theory of Constructivist learning has had wide ranging impact on learning theories and teaching methods in education and is an underlying theme of many education reform movements.
