Abstract Constructivism traced out in the 18th century and it emerged as radical, social, individual, evolutionary, postmodern constructivism and so on (Heylighen, 1993). Constructivism is a teaching-learning approach which explains the individual mental or cognitive construction. Constructivist believes that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in the process of knowledge construction. Moreover, Constructivism is not a theory of teaching, there is no single instruction of constructivism that can be readily applied in classrooms(Alsharif, 2014). The constructivist learning environment is supported by substantial material and offers learning-teaching processes to meet the need for the learner by interaction. Many research reports argue that people learn by making associations and learning takes place in social and cultural contexts. Therefore, teaching is all about creating the right environment. Constructivism is the theory of learning and it is not limited to a single instruction method. There are different methods to be adopted in the constructivism, some of the strategies are followed in the classroom context as repetitive. These strategies are made based on the cognitive process of the learner, association of previous knowledge to the learning goal. Therefore, this paper explores Strategy for teaching-learning under constructivism and right learning environment.
