Abstract
Constructivism learning theory is the further development as behaviorism arrives at cognitivism. According to its teaching theory: knowledge is uncertain; the learning process of knowledge is also the construction process of knowledge; students are the main body of learning activity and they construct knowledge on their own initiatives; teachers are the helpers and the drivers for students constructing knowledge. These views generate more implications for China’s teaching reform, what affect the reform of learning theory and teaching theory in a sense and turn into the theoretical base for China’s education reform. This paper tries to probe into the implication of constructivism teaching theory on China’s basic education.

Summary
Constructivism, as a new thought, is a new learning philosophy. Some people agree that the first constructivist is Socrates. His “hippcrates” is a successful model for constructivism teaching. Kant’s studies on the integration of rationalism and empiricism indicate kind of constructivism. In his opinion, the subject can not open toward the external world directly. By the constructed-internally principal cognitive rules, the subject can organize experiences and develop knowledge. Along with the transfer of structuralism methodology toward post-structuralism, the absolute status of rationalism is broken further.
