    Constructivist philosophy of teaching is based on the idea that learning occurs as learners construct their own understanding by reflecting on their experiences. Key theorists who supported constructivism include Piaget with his stages of cognitive development, Dewey's progressive education ideas, Vygotsky's social development theory, and Bruner's discovery learning theory. Constructivist teaching is characterized by active learner involvement, democratic environments, interactive and student-centered activities, and teachers acting as facilitators, such as through modeling, coaching, and scaffolding. Common constructivist assessment practices involve oral discussions, KWL charts, mind mapping, hands-on activities, and pre-testing.
