Discovery-Based Learning Project

Discovery-Based Learning (DBL) suggests children learn best through experimentation and discovery of facts and relationships on their own. In other words, children construct knowledge based on new information and data collected by them in an explorative learning environment (De Jong & Van Joolingen, 1998; Njoo, 1994). The DBL is grounded in constructivist theory, it is based on the idea that students construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experience and reflection on those experiences. Through these experiences, children are asked to manipulate materials, conduct experiments, make assumptions, and discover by themselves.
