In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the perception of students regarding the constructivist teaching practices. For this purpose sample of 250 students of 9th and 10th standard from the government school was taken through simple random sampling technique. To collect the data, opinionnaire was developed and standardized by the investigators. To find the significance of difference between the various groups ‘t’-test was applied. Results indicated that gender wise and locality wise’ students do not differ significantly in their perception towards constructivist teaching practices.
