Volume : I, Issue : XI, December - 2011 Constructivism – A New Paradigm to Teaching and LearningGayatri Temkar Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Education is a process of acquiring information and knowledge. Human learning has been one of the
important fields of study since ages. How an individual learns and think is not only the field for cognitive,
developmental and neuroscientist but also for common man. Dr. Abdul Kalam has recommended five special
capacities that are required to be built in education system for nurturing the students. They are research,
inquiry, creativity and innovation , use of technology , entrepreneurial ability and moral leadership. If we
develop these five capacities in our students we will produce “Autonomous Learners”, a self directed,
controlled life long learners who will have the capacity to both respect and at the same time is capable of
questioning authority in an appropriate manner.[University News, Vol4 (No. 24)] But how one perceives
information and what is the process of acquiring knowledge are pertinent questions of education. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Gayatri Temkar, (2011).
