This has led every philosopher or intellectual to inquire, research and study into this realm. Education starts at an early age and is tightly knit with the learning process and how the knowledge is acquired. Constructivism is one the more popular theory of knowledge and learning proposed as early as 1936 by Jean Piaget and later Vygotsky &Glasersfled.Traditional teaching methods have been used ever since in children’s education system but havenot been much fruitful. The authors in this research paper have identified why traditional teaching pedagogy may lack successand propose constructivist approach in the field of research and effective learning.
