'''Constructivist teaching''' is based on the constructivist [[learning theory]], which holds that learning should build upon knowledge that a student already has, and that learning is more effective when a student is actively involved in the construction of knowledge, rather than when he/she is passively listening to a lecture.<ref name="ssta">[http://www.ssta.sk.ca/research/instruction/97-07.htm#What%20is%20Constructivism?
