Constructivist Pedagogy – A Paradigm Shift in the field of Education

What is learning? Learning is an active process of creating meaning from different experiences. ‘How do students learn best?’ We will get several answers to this question from various stakeholders of the field of education. But keeping in mind ‘child-centric education’, the common answer which will be focused upon more will be constructivism. Many educators too believe that the best way to learn is by having students construct their own knowledge instead of having someone construct it for them. In other words, students will learn best by trying to make sense of something on their own with the teacher as a guide to help them along the way.
