Abstract:
This study gives emphasis on the effects of using Constructivist Learning Approach as an Innovation to improve Grade 3 learners' vocabulary. Constructivism was born on the basis of Piaget's cognitive development and Vygotsky's structural theory. The constructivist extends to the field of linguistics as well as general literal learning and learning approaches in particular. The basic premise of constructivist theory is that people are said to learn when they have gained experience from what they learn. That is, people create their own meaning through experience. The scope of this research covers 20 elementary students in Grade 3 from Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel. The researchers determined the learners level of vocabulary acquisition prior to constructivist learning approaches as an innovation in teaching. They also carefully analyzed and observed the Grade 3 Learners' data in accordance to their pretest and posttest scores on vocabulary acquisition as well as the attitude of the learners who have been exposed to the Constructivist Approach in learning vocabulary. This study proves that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the Grade 3 students who were exposed to the Constructivist Learning Approach. This paper helps the researchers to develop a lesson exemplar in English 3 based on the findings of the study as well as to garner a deeper understanding on the said learning approach and its effectivity towards young learners. In the perspective of constructivism theory, students are motivated and directed to learn the main idea through discovery learning.
