Those three applications of constructivist learning are discussed in the following parts.

a. Valuing The Learning Process

It requires students ’ participation and teacher’s respect toward students’ effort. Valuing the learning process leads the teacher to give opportunities for the students to express their standpoints in a confident manner.
