Constructivist approaches have gained significant prominence in both Brazilian and American educational systems since the 1990s, particularly in early childhood education and progressive schools. In Brazil, these approaches are often associated with the Pedagogia da Libertação (Pedagogy of Liberation) influenced by Paulo Freire's educational philosophy. In the USA, constructivism reflects progressive education movements and is widely adopted in K-12 and higher education settings. The term represents a shift from traditional authoritarian teaching models to more democratic, student-centered education.
