Abstract

Rich Environments for Active Learning, or REALs, are comprehensive instructional systems that evolve from and are consistent with constructivist philosophies and theories. To embody a constructivist view of learning, REALs: promote study and investigation within authentic contexts;encourage the growth of student responsibility, initiative, decision making, and intentional learning;cultivate collaboration among students and teachers;utilize dynamic, interdisciplinary, generative learning activities that promote higher‐order thinking processes to help students develop rich and complex knowledge structures; andassess student progress in content and learning‐to‐learn within authentic contexts using realistic tasks and performances.
