“…Active learning, project-based teaching and discussion methods, such as those based on constructivist theory, have recently been used in Turkey as an approach to develop critical thinking (Dam & Volman, 2004) because it creates settings in which students and teachers allow cooperate within the classroom. Such an environment based on a constructivist understanding plays an important role in creating a democratic setting (Bay, Gündoğdu & Kaya, 2010). Tolerance, solidarity, critical thinking and independence are only possible in a culture that promotes healthy relationships.…”

“…Wang'e (2011) göre bu yaklaşım öğretme yerine öğrenmeyi amaçlamaktadır ve öğrencinin öğrenme sürecinde özerk olmasına, öğrencinin öğrenmeye aktif bir şekilde katılması çok önemlidir.

Yapılandırmacı görüşü benimseyenler bilginin ve gerçeğin öğrenen tarafından oluşturulduğuna ve bunun öğrenenin zihninin dışında olmadığını savunurlar (Duffy ve Jonassen, 1992).…”
