AB  - This concept study attempts to justify the theoretical framework 
  and pedagogical issues addressed in most writings and discussion about learning 
  and to some extent teaching theories. In so doing, the discussion and analysis 
  of this study derives from secondary data gathered through extensive literature 
  review. The first half of this study analyses the history and evolution of constructivism. 
  The second half, then proceeds to examine one application of constructivism 
  in the educational context, namely; student-centred learning. Various theories 
  of learning have been considered but constructivism is argued to provide strong 
  theoretical, as well as pedagogical links to learning through technology, such 
  as e-Learning and simulation. At the same time, as the empirical part of future 
  research of this study discusses tertiary military students and their learning 
  and training needs, constructivism offers learning and training criteria that 
  appear to be particularly relevant to a military setting. This is because all 
  criteria critical for building the guardians of a nation, such as active learning, 
  higher levels of discipline and responsibility, collaboration and critical thinking 
  derive from constructivism.
