John Dewey (1859-1952)
Rejected repetitive memorization and proposed "directed living"

Impact Constructivism today is used at
higher education levels. Hands on learning approach Learning by experience i.e.

highest impact

Summary Basic idea: Learning is an active, constructive process.
Learner viewed as: Information constructor.
People actively construct or create their own subjective
representations of objective reality. New information is linked to prior knowledge, thus mental representations are subjective.
