Abstract: Today’s job market demands not only sound technical skills from their potential employees. When employers talk about graduates being job ready, they really mean that the graduates possess the skills of the 21st century, which include ability to seek information and critically analyze situations, ability to challenge ideas, being innovative and being able to communicate ideas. In realizing these needs, education systems have long since started to look into incorporating activities that could help in cultivating the above mentioned skills among students. Constructivism theory is seen as one of the applicable ones in designing teaching approach where learning activities are designed to include active process of information seeking and group work in order to shape students into developing the interpersonal skills required.
