Abstract
Constructivist approach is the most important and remarkable approach in the current scenario of teaching-learning. Constructivist believes that ‘knowledge' is the result of individual constructions of reality. Knowledge is the result of the accurate internalization and reconstruction of external reality. (Cognitive) knowledge is constructed from one's experience but is not an accurate representation of external reality (radical). Knowledge is the outcome of social interaction (social).The instructional issue in constructivist learning is the role of social interaction. Thus, the present paper focuses on how to facilitate cognitive processes in learners through social interaction. Instructional methods such as team teaching, brainstorming, experiential learning, co-operative learning, cognitive learning, cognitive apprenticeship problem –based learning and discovery learning strategies require that a student learn as a part of a group. The paper also elaborate upon the characteristics of constructivist classroom and the process of constructivist learning.
