The main aim of the study is to investigate and review the functioning of The Village Institutes in light of the features of the constructive learning approach. In regard to this main purpose, The Village Institutes are investigated in terms of the acquisitions, teaching principles, methods and techniques, assessment and evaluation, behaviour management and features of the perception on the roles of teacher-student of the constructivist approach. Initially, the literature review is given on the topic under the heading of Constructivist Approach and The Village Institutes and then the curriculum and the functioning of the Village Institutes are reviewed in view of the features of the constructivist approach. As a result of the review, the acquisitions are found to be similar in the point of flexibility however it is seen that there is not as much of a regional flexibility in the constructivism as there is in The Village Institutes. Moreover; it is determined that the teaching principles are similar between the two while The Village Institutes implement the hands-on teaching way more often than the constructivist approach suggests, and that there are similar points in the assessment and evaluation, behaviour management, and the perception on the roles of teacher-student between the constructivist approach and The Village Institutes.
