Design and develop of constructivist learning environment on learning management system

The purpose of this research is to synthesize theoretical framework and designing framework for Constructivist Learning Environment (CLEs) on Learning Management System (LMS). Research design is developmental research Type I (Design and Development). The procedures were as follows: 1 to examine and analyze the principles and theories, 2 to explore the context of using LMS of learners, and 3 to synthesize the theoretical framework and the designing framework of Constructivist Learning Environment on LMS. The result revealed that: 1) The theoretical framework consists of 3 foundations: (1) Psychological base, (2) Pedagogical base, and (3) Technological base, 2) The designing framework of CLEs on LMS comprises of 5 aspects as follows: (1) The Activation of Cognitive Structure, (2) The Support and Enhancement in Knowledge Construction, (3) The Support for Adjusting Cognitive Conflict, (4) The Support for Extending the Cognitive Structure, and (5) The Support and Enhancement in Appropriate Context, and 3) The Constructivist Learning Environment on Learning Management System comprises of 6 components as following: (1) Problem Base, (2) Related Cases, (3 Information Resources (4) Cognitive Tools, (5) Conversation and Collaboration Tools, and (6) Social Support.
