Constructivism in Online Learning: A Qualitative Thematic Meta-Synthesis

https://doi.org/10.64612/ijiv.v1i6.53Abstract
Different school settings are used in this meta-synthesis to illustrate how constructivism is applied in real life. The study examines how students and teachers have discussed social constructivism theory and peer-reviewed research to understand how these ideas have been used online. There are four main themes using interpretive thematic analysis. These are how online learning becomes a social space, how important student agency and self-regulation are, how teachers act as pedagogical mediators, and how technology can both help and hurt learning. They show that technology is not the only reason why online learning is valuable. It also depends on how the lessons are planned, how the students connect, and how well they work together to make sense of things. It shows how important it is to match digital tools with constructivist teaching methods to create real learning situations.
