Application of Constructivism through Interactive Learning Techniques

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reflect over application of constructivism through different techniques in order to improve the language skills of students in Kosovo. Today's curriculum in Kosovo and the publication of new texts are designed with the aim of having a constructivist approach. Consequently, teaching is also expected to follow the same line. According to the constructivist theory, individuals construct, namely they create or ideate their own understanding or knowledge, by relating prior knowledge, and modifying it into events, activities and other general situations, which they encounter. In this way, they expand and enrich their knowledge enabling themselves to deal with more complicated situations. The research part of this paper includes the observation methodology, which has been applied during 64 classes in 12 schools in the country.
