• Is based on the belief that learning occurs when the learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information.
• Learners are the makers of meaning and knowledge.

Characteristics of constructivist teaching
• Authentic activities and real-world environment
• Multiple perspectives
• Wholistic integrative
• Self-directed learners
• Meaningful learning

Interactive Teaching
The word interactive can reminds us of people with whom the learner interacts in order to learn.
The interaction can be between the learner and learning materials(module, film, video clip, poem, map)
Why do we promote interactive teaching?
Constructivist teaching
Teacher:• must ask specific, non-
intimidating feedback questions and HOTS questions.
• must take the focus of interaction clear.
• must create the climate favorable for genuine interaction.
• must do less talk so students talk more.

Teacher’s tasks in Interactive Teaching-
Learning
An effective class interaction paves the way of collaboration.
When the students collaborate for learning, they do not just interaction, they work together and help one another for a common goal.
This is peer-to-peer learning.
Constructivist teachingCollaborative Teaching
Teacher must:• begin with the conviction that
every student can share something in the attainment of a goal.
• structure tasks in such way that the group goal cannot be realized without the members of collaborating.
• make the goal clear to all.
Constructivist teaching
Teacher’s tasks in Collaborative
Learning
Teacher must:• ensure that guidelines on
procedures are clear especially on how their performance is assessed.
• make clear that the end of the activity, they have to reflect together.

Integrative Teaching and Learning
Interdisciplinary Teaching. Integrate comes from the Latin word “integer” which means to make a whole. Integrative teaching and
learning means putting together separate disciplines to make a whole.
This affirms the “boundarylessness” of disciplines.
Constructivist teaching
Trandisciplinary teaching. Integrative teaching is also transdisciplinary .This means connecting lifeless
subject matter to life itself.
How can teachers connect subject matter to life?• Depart the teaching content for
the test purposes only.• Research the application phase
of the lesson development.

Integrative teaching is also done when you integrate knowledge, skills and values in a lesson.
Three –level teaching
The three-level teaching is a teaching information for formation and transformation.

• If integrative teaching is making things whole, it also means putting together the multiple intelligences (MI) of the learner as identified by Howard Gardner.
• It is also considering varied learning styles (LS).
Constructivist teaching
Multiple Intelligences-based and Learning Style-based teaching
• To do integrative teaching needs a broad background for him/her to see readily the entry points for indesciplinary integration.
• To do integrative teaching by interdisciplinary and 3-level teaching mode, a teacher must be able to connect subject matter to values and to a life as a whole.
• To be able to integrate MI and LS, the teacher must e familiar with MIs and LSs and must have a reservoir of teaching activities to be able to cater to students with diverse MIs and LSs.

Teacher’s Tasks in Integrative Teaching
Inquiry-Based Teaching
This is the teaching that focused on inquiry or question.
It espouses investigation, exploration search, quest, research, pursuit and study.
Why do we encourage inquiry-based teaching and learning?
Constructivist teaching
•What evidence do you have?•How do you know that is true?•How reliable is this data source?
•From whose viewpoint are we seeing, reading or hearing?•From what angle, what perspective, are we viewing this situation?
Constructivist teaching
Questions about alternative points of view:
Effective questioners are inclined to ask a range of questions:
•How are these(people, events or situations) related to each other?•What produced this connection?
•What do you think would happen if….?•If that is true, then what might happen if…..?
Constructivist teaching
Hypothetical problems characterized by “if” questions:
Questions that make casual connections and relationships:
•Why do cats purr?•How high can birds fly?•Why does the hair on my head grow fast, while the hair on my arms and legs grows so slowly?•What would happen if we put a saltwater fish in a freshwater aquarium? •What are some alternative solutions international conflicts, other than wars?
Constructivist teaching
Recognize discrepancies and phenomena in their environment, and they probe
into their environment:
When using inquiry-based lessons, teachers are responsible for: starting the inquiry process; promoting the students dialog; transitioning between small groups and
classroom discussions; intervening to clear misconceptions or
develop students’ understanding of content material; and
modeling scientific procedures and attitudes.
Constructivist teaching
Teacher’s tasks in Inquiry-Based Teaching Learning
Some specific learning process that the people engage in during inquiry-learning include: Creating questions of their own Obtaining supporting evidence to
answer the question(s) Explaining the evidence collected Connecting the explanation to the
knowledge obtained from the investigative process
