Abstract

This study tries to get a proof about the question ‘Does a Constructivist Learning Approach have any influence on students’ achievement?’ As results of a set examination of studies were presented in scientific articles conveyed out between 1997 and 2017 in science education, 73 studies were found in the initial search. After a second screening, 12 studies were selected to examine. The calculating effect size of Constructivist approach on students’ achievement (ES: 0.87) was calculated by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) version 2.0. In addition, calculated effect size considering grade level and models of learning. The results indicate that the effect sizes on the academic achievement of high school level are at a large level while on college is at a usual level (standard level). The conclusion shows that a constructivist approach has a positive effect especially on students' achievement. Concerning the results, authors made some recommendations for an educator, researcher, and further research.
