Originally developed in the United States and as a research hot spot both at home and abroad currently, constructivism theory has new methodology idea and research paradigm, and is widely spread all over the world and quickly affects various fields. Constructivism theory includes constructivism learning view, teaching view, view on teachers, view on students, etc, answering questions such as "what is learning" and "should be how to learn".It is a universal phenomenon in China that current middle school politics teaching is time-consuming and even ineffective because of traditional infusion thoughts. The main reason lies in the teachers' backward teaching concepts whose teaching form is drab, inflexible, resulting that the evaluation methods emphasis too much on the quantitative matters and causing students to learn too passive and disgusted, and developing a single-side-develop condition. The low level of teachers' teaching is another reason, which shows that teachers'computer skill cannot satisfy educational needs; the multimedia and computers cannot play their roles; teachers' scientific research ability is not strong; teachers often give lectures lacking of skills, etc.The author thinks that it needs multi-pronged approaches to reform the politics teaching in middle school with constructivism.
