Abstract

This article presents a model for designing student-centered, technology-rich learning environments (SCenTRLE). The model helps educators operationalize constructivist and student- centered approaches to teaching and learning by delimiting eight instructional events for facilitating knowledge construction and the development of life-long learners. The article describes theoretical and conceptual foundations for the model, details the model and discusses enduring issues, including the use of technology, student attitudes, levels of implementation, holistic versus analytic performance assessment, and the application of constructivist principles within the context of traditional instructional systems design (ISD) models.
