Online Learning in Supporting Students' Procedural Abilities Viewed from a Constructivist Approach

Abstract

The aim of the research is to explain the perspective of online learning in supporting students' procedural abilities from a constructivist perspective. This research uses a literature review methodology to describe topics about online learning, procedural abilities and constructivist theory. Scopus article search engines such as Springer Nature, SAGE, Taylor & Francis and Google Scholar provide the collected literature. There are 350 articles covering the search topic. There were 78 additional articles that met the research variables. Selected articles were evaluated together with 47 references. Online learning has features that conform to the fundamental principles of constructivism. The philosophy of constructivism encourages a learning process that places students as the source of the process through concrete empirical and systematic procedural activities. Meanwhile, online learning provides a new model for how the learning process can be carried out without face to face, and can increase students' abilities, especially in terms of practicums which require procedural abilities in each learning process.
