Constructivist - Mobile Learning Classroom

CONCLUSION

David Jonassen when created Constructivist Learning Environment had integrated learning theory with

technology. The technology used in this learning model to organize and help facilitate the learning process. For

example, website used in PBL to organize groups and allow students to collaborate in the same learning

environment. The chatroom can be integrated into the website to enhance student’s communication and sharing

files. Moreover, online resources not only help with communication but also for other purposes like getting

inspiration in a way to solve the problem and finding more and extra information on the topics. The tool that is

used in this learning model, promotes the critical thinking skills when the students need to evaluate the resources

they had found to get and pick the best and relevant information. This activity will generate skills needed in the

real world.
