  • In the most   general sense, it usually means encouraging students to use   active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving)   to create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about   what they are doing and how their understanding is changing.
  • udents find their ideas gaining in complexity   and power, and they develop increasingly strong abilities to   integrate new information
  • For example: Groups of students in a science class are   discussing a problem in physics. Though the teacher knows the "answer" to the problem, she focuses   on helping   students restate their questions in useful ways. She prompts   each student to reflect on and examine his or her current   knowledge. When one of the students comes up with the   relevant concept, the teacher seizes upon it, and indicates   to the group that this might be a fruitful avenue for   them to explore.

  Note the section on critics of constructivism. Note how and what aspects of constructivism may be applicable to language teaching.
