The last few decades have witnessed a substantial development in the study of
International Relations. Many new theories and approaches have become part of the
current debate within international relations. One of these new approaches is
Construct
ivism which many scholars believe constitutes a bridge between the
positivist theories and the post-positivist theories. This study seeks to examine the
basic assumptions of Constructivism and its contribution to the study of
international relations
The research aimed to identify the degree of employing
constructivist teaching methods by classroom teachers in the first cycle
of basic education, and to know the differences among the research
sample individuals in the degree of employing these
methods
according to the variables of (educational qualification, and years of
experience). The sample of the research consisted of (288) teachers in
the first cycle of basic education in Damascus state schools. The
sample was selected using the simple random way, and the
questionnaire of employing constructivist teaching methods (prepared
by the researcher) was applied to them after it was verified for its
validity and reliability.
