Constructivism looks like active engagement in the course material through applying it to students' everyday lives and personal interests. The teacher may provide the tools and concepts, but ultimately it is up to the student to decide how it can be used in "the real world." Teachers are gesturing towards those real world applications, but are not forcing them.

Constructivist teaching is about growing or "constructing" knowledge inside the students, i.e. an active process instead of a passive reception. To this end, hands-on activities and project based learning are relied upon heavily.

Students want to make sure their time is not being wasted. They want to know that what they are learning is actually worth it. Project based learning is a great way to show this instead of lecturing.

Constructivism in the classroom means that the teacher teaches the students how to learn, instead of focusing on just the material. It means that they teach students how to question and learn from their own experiences and to develop new ideas and questions from this reflection. This could take the form of project based learning, where students choose a problem around them and develop their own solution to it.
