Abstract
Constructivist approach is based on constructing, explaining, interpreting and transferring any given knowledge in mind and generating new information from the current one, rather than memorising it. Since the constructivist approach that was put into effect in Turkey in 2005-2006 academic year, the individuals are expected to rethink, interpret and reach to the knowledge with their own deductions by organizing it in their own minds, rather than accepting what is presented to them. The constructivist approach, which aims students to actively use their research, questioning and thinking abilities, advocates free thinking and the subjectivity of knowledge, as opposed to the behavioural approach. In this study, the works of Christine Nöstlinger, a writer of German Children and Youth Literature, were examined on the basis of the aims of the constructivist approach. The result of the study concludes that in Nöstlinger's books there are types of individuals who learn constructively, and that the characters in those books overlap with the types of individuals projected by constructivist learning theory.
