Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning What is constructivism? How does this theory differ from traditional ideas about teaching and learning?

Every time, this takes me back to rainy childhood days on the living room floor: A robot. A mosaic of geometric houses. Clearly, I've stumbled upon the national craze for adult coloring books.
