Abstract

With its profound effects on learning and teaching approaches, constructivism theory has fundamentally changed the perspective and way of looking at the nature of learning and, accordingly, teaching, students, content, teachers, and the learning environment. Synergogy is a concept derived from constructivism theory that provides conditions It makes the responsibility of learning transfer from the teacher to the learner. Methods: The present study was written with the aim of describing the practical outcome, which was explained by reviewing the theoretical literature of the appropriate practical model. Findings: Due to its spatial nature, geography course units require individual and group-oriented learning. The constructivist approach based on the synergy model is the most favorable method for teaching and learning lessons of a spatial-spatial nature and causes mental memorization with spatial imagery. Conclusion: The current research investigates the effects of the constructionist educational approach in geography lessons, and with theoretical studies, it has been concluded that the synergistic model as a model derived from the constructionist approach increases the desirability of learning in subjects with a spatial nature (such as geography).
