Abstract:

The analysis explores the connotations of constructivism and deconstructivism as well as the differences from traditional structuralist educational concepts, emphasizing their complementarity and promoting role in educational practice. Taking the teaching of colloidal solutions as an example, it discusses how to design specific teaching cases using constructivist and deconstructivist ideas. Teaching practice has shown that instructional methods guided by constructivist and deconstructivist thinking can enhance students' understanding and application of knowledge while fostering their innovative thinking and sense of social responsibility.

Key words: Constructivism, Deconstructionism, Colloidal solution, Instructional design
