التعلم من النظرية البنائية إلى المقاربة بالكفاءات

Abstract

Due to the paramount importance of the teaching learning process among researchers and educators throughout time and space, many theories on learning has appeared to explain the learning mechanism and the cognitive development of the learners. Constructivism is one of the most significant theories that focuses on the learning mechanism through its attempt to answer a historical question that preoccupied many philosophers, psychologists and pedagogues for more than 2000 years. The question is: How is knowledge acquired? Constructivism started as a philosophical theory in the construction of knowledge; its principles then extended to the teaching and learning domain. Constructivism becomes a major concern for psychologists and pedagogues, combining therefore philosophy and psychology.
