Learning With Technology from a Constructivist Point of View

Technology is becoming an integral part of the educational realm; this article provides an overview of constructivism and its implications for learner’s practices inside the classroom. It describes the educational features of constructivism with its basic forms and/or variations. It then elucidates the constructivist view of technology, learning, and the relationship among them. It will provide various definitions of constructivist approaches, and explains the assumption and principles of constructivist pedagogy. Finally, this study presents how constructivism as a learning theory can guide the process of learning in classroom situations.
