4. Teacher’s primary concern are the learners.
They have to teach in order for their students
to learn something. They use some tools in
teaching such as books, visuals, and any other
suitable materials. However, teaching is not as
easy as that because they also have to be
aware of the 5 Pedagogical Approaches which
can enhance the process of learning.

5. 1. Constructivism or the Constructivist
Approach
2. Collaborative Approach
3. Inquiry-Based Approach
4. Integrative Approach
5. Reflective Approach

6.  It is a modern teaching concept
 Evolution from teacher-centered system to learner
centered system.
 This demands changes in the instructional process
and materials.
 Learner must construct knowledge and teacher
cannot supply it.

7.  Learner constructs new ideas or concepts
based on their current or past knowledge.
 Rather than a dispenser of knowledge, the
teacher is – a guide, facilitator, and co-
explorer – encourages learners to question,
challenge, and formulate their own ideas,
opinions, and conclusions

8. Evolving
inquiry-
based
Active
reflective
constructed
Collaborative

9. 
An elementary school teacher presents a class
problem to measure the length of the "Mayflower."
Rather than starting the problem by introducing the
ruler, the teacher allows students to reflect and to
construct their own methods of measurement.

10. Constructivism is basically a theory - based on
observation and scientific study -- about how people
learn. It says that people construct their own
understanding and knowledge of the world, through
experiencing things and reflecting on those
experiences. When we encounter something new, we
have to settle it with our previous ideas and
experience, may be changing what we believe, or
may be discarding the new information as irrelevant.

11.  An approach to learning in which learners are
provided the opportunity to construct their own sense
of what is being learned by building internal
connection or relationship among the ideas and facts
being taught.” Borich and Tombari (1997 )
 “ Human are not passive information receiver.
Human are active information receiver, they build
network of information with their previous
information and they assimilate or accommodate new
knowledge with the old information in order to build
their own understanding of the new information.”
(Cheek,1992)

14.  Transform thinking and practice beyond
today’s traditional models and boundaries of
schools and educational system.
 Focuses on reproduction knowledge
construction.
 Uses authentic tasks to engage learners to
provide them meaningful and problem based
thinking.
