The survey article, the experimental group and the control group were selected. Teachers have been trained on constructivism, the teacher in the experimental group and the control group, the constructivist approach processed using traditional methods course. Control group pre-test and post-test experimental design used in this context, the experimental groups were equivalent to the pre-test data obtained from the two groups. The final test after training with the constructivist approach to teaching has been successful in the experimental group than the control group. Constructivist approach to learning achievement and learning retention was greater in the experimental group used. I think today science teachers to increase student success and retention classes to handle the constructivist learning approach course. The teacher is not giving you the information that must guide the guiding access to knowledge.
