| Abstract: | While constructivism has emerged as a major reform in science education from the last decade, wide-spread adoption of constructivist
practices in school laboratories and classrooms is yet to be achieved. If constructivist approaches are to be utilised more
widely, teachers will need to accept a more active and constructivist role in their own pedagogical learning. One experienced
junior science teacher was able to implement constructivist approaches in her classroom by using a personally constructed
metaphor to guide her practice.
