 Constructivism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivism_%28learning_theory%29 
Abstract:
 It is a description of the constructivism theory. It has also described 
in details the nature of the learner, role of the instructor, nature of the learning 
process, assessment and the pedagogies based on the constructivism theory. 
Rationale:
 In a rapidly changing world the issues of pedagogy have had to be 
re-visited. Constructivism is but one of the theories that emphasizes on” lear-
ning by doing”. The teachers’ role is that of a facilitator during learning not of 
a dictator.
