I've come up with *Constructivistic Learning* (whatever this may be), but does anyone know how to translate this to "student level"? This information is given on the student website of Hogeschool Rotterdam, for students who may be interested in the specialization programme "Bekwaamheid leraar Mens en Maatschappij", but I am looking for a more "student-friendly" term. The complete sentence: "Ook ontstaat er een nieuwe didactiek, die past bij het Nieuwe Leren of Constructivistisch Leren." Any ideas? Thanks!

@Inge: Further to Siobhan's observation, I think my suggestion should be amended to 'constructivist or constructivistic learning', where the first alternative should be preferred. Cheers!

It's equally horrible in Dutch too, of course. That might make it a perfect translation, if I may say so ;-)

: I think if students are capable of taking this course, they will also understand the term.

: Plenty of info. on the internet, however, the term appears to be 'constructivist learning' not 'constructivistic'.

Thanks, Siobhan. And yes, you may have a point there. 886 vs. 247000 googles. My Shorter Oxford (not as short as some may think!) also defines 'constructivist' as the adjective ("of or pertaining to constructivism or constructivists").

new learning or constructive instruction
? I think maybe, together like this, the replacement becomes less remarcable.
But, tja, i am not sure what constructivistisch leren really implies as a method (?) of teaching or learning ?
