Abstract

Micro-learning is a media-based learning approach that utilizes short content segments of approximately 3-5 minutes. This learning style, suitable for today's world, caters to learners who focus on specific areas of study. Moreover, micro-learning provides a flexible medium, as students can learn independently through online channels. This article aims to equip readers with knowledge about micro-learning, promote contemporary learning strategies, and provide insight into future micro-learning trends. Furthermore, the article proposes a micro-learning design based on constructivist theory to pique student interest in the lessons. The development of a micro-teaching model based on constructivist theory can be applied across various subject areas. However, before implementing the model, instructors must analyze the content to ascertain the purpose of implementing the constructivist theory micro-learning model through online media and whether their teaching style is suitable. Additionally, the model must be adapted to the school environment, given that each school's environment is unique.
