Summary

Introduction

One of the main aims of modern education is to educate individuals who use and produce knowledge, self actualization, compatible with society and academically successful. The academic success of students depends on internal factors and the external environment. Internal factors include completing tasks, fulfilling their motivation, abilities, responsibilities, and academic aspirations. The external factors include the classroom environment in which teachers and peers play a key role, the corporate culture, resources and other factors in the educational environment that affect the experiences of students (Tran & Vu, 2016). Constructivism, which is one of the student-centered learning theories, necessitates the student to assume its responsibilities in the teaching process (Henson, 2003). This theory has taken place in primary and secondary schools in Turkey in 2004, it has been realized in 2005-2006 academic year (Gömleksiz & Bulut, 2007)
