| Sumario: | Introduction: The current learning in orthodontics closely follow the tenets of constructivist theory. The advances in technology- enabled pedagogy have been very poorly understood in the context of orthodontic education. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find the correlations between the tenets of constructivism, technology-enabled learning and orthodontic education Areas covered: The study draws its gist from three backgrounds of constructivist theory, orthodontic education and technology- enabled learning. The study has closely examined each of these factors which contribute to knowledge construction in orthodontic students. Expert commentary: The study follows a narrative approach to tie together the various interconnections common to orthodontic education and technology-enabled learning under the ambit of constructivism in an attempt to help drive integration of technological advances into mainstream orthodontic education. Conclusion: By highlighting the connecting links between constructivism and technology-enabled learning we have shown that orthodontic education can receive the much-needed revival through these channels. |
