Definition

Exploratory learning is based on constructivist theories of learning.

According to Rieber (:587) all exploratory learning approaches are based on the following four principles: (a) Learners can and should take control of their own learning; (b) knowledge is rich and multidimensional; (c) learners approach the learning task in very diverse ways; and (d) it is possible for learning to feel natural and uncoaxed, that is, it does not have to be forced or contrived.
