This study employs the descriptive method which aims to represent a situation as it is, and documentary analysis will be used as data analysis method. A total of 37 studies that employed the experimental method were published between 2006 and 2016 with one of the keywords in its title and could be reached in a journal indexed in Ulakbim. They will be used as the data source. These studies will be examined on many different aspects in order to find out inclinations and changes about constructive learning and teaching experiences and understand how effective they have been. The year with the most number of studies is 2009 with 6 studies and there are 5 studies in both 2011 and 2012. The samples used in these studies are from all grade levels. Studies examine the impact of some teaching and learning theories and methods that are used in constructive approach and compare them with traditional teaching applications, especially through pre and post-test experimental design with a control group.
