Tóm tắt

Constructivist theory was first mentioned by philosopher Jean Piaget; the foundation of this theory considers the cognitive process of learners as the process of learners constructing knowledge for themselves through the assimilation and adaptation of existing knowledge and skills to adapt to the new learning environment. This study presents the concept of constructivist theory in teaching Mathematics, then proposes the process of applying constructivist theory in teaching geometry concepts in grade 10 (including the steps: provoking motivation to approach concepts; experiencing concept discovery; forming concept content; consolidating and developing concepts) and illustrates this process through teaching the concept of “vector” (Math 10). Teaching according to constructivist theory aims to create opportunities for students to construct knowledge through personal experience, promote their proactive and creative role in learning, encourage critical thinking and problem solving; thereby contributing to improving the quality of teaching Mathematics in high school.
