Abstract

Objective: This research is conducted to provide a new insight on the usage of the library by the students of Shree Chandraprabhu Jain College, Library Minjur, Thiruvallur District, Chennai Metro, Tamil Nadu, South India. The data has been collected using questionnaire method. Methods: Questionnaire method, user performance, learning evaluation. Results: Evaluation in education has a key role in making the users truly information literate. Teaching is no longer lecture-based and teacher-based Evaluation is a win-win process which mutually benefits the teachers as well as the students. Conclusion: This paper attempts to highlight the role of constructivist approach in constructing knowledge by the learner. The base ideas of constructivism emphasize appropriate facilitator-supported learning that is initiated and directed by the learner. The learner faced with a problematic situation, actively engages in exploration to solve the problem and construct his own knowledge. The students are evaluated through a continuous assessment procedure. In the implementation of curriculum, theory teaching assumes more importance than practical work. Students should, on their own initiative, take an interest in the learning process rather than be passive listeners.
