Abstract

Constructivism is a learning theory describing the process of knowledge construction; Knowledge construction is an active, rather than a passive process. Given the importance of this approach in education, especially higher education, the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the degree of constructivist curriculum application at Shiraz University. The results indicated that from the standpoint of higher education students, their classes are 3.11 regarding content and it is above theoretical mean 3 and this difference is significant at 0.01 levels. Therefore, it is above the criterion mean. The factor of evaluation is 2.90 and lower than theoretical mean 3 and significant at 0.01 levels, so it is lower than criterion level; however, the factors of objective and learning strategies didn't show a significant difference with theoretical mean, therefore it is at criterion level.
