Abstract :The effects of the constructivist-learning model on student outcomes are analyzed in this research study. For this purpose, results of 19 meta-analysis researches focusing on the effects of constructivist learning models on student outcomes are combined with the second-order meta-analysis method. The research included in the process had been carried out between the years 2015 and 2021. At the end of the research process, it is determined that the effect of constructivist learning models on student outcomes is medium-level. On the other hand, it is determined that the effect of constructivist learning models on student thinking skills and academic success is high-level. Besides, it is found that the effect of constructivist learning models on student attitudes is medium-level. At the end of the moderator analysis based on location, it is observed that the effects of constructivist learning models on student outcomes vary. Atelier studies can be carried out in education zones to develop teaching skills about the application of constructivist learning models. On the other hand, it is seen that studies on the issue mostly focus on academic success and attitude. Following this, the effects of constructivist learning models on the other student outcomes can be analyzed.
