A survey methodology was employed such that modified items from the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) questionnaire were adopted. It comprised five components of constructivist learning: Personal Relevance, Uncertainty of ICT, Shared Control, Critical Voice and Student Negotiation. Data were gathered from 440 participants. Findings from the present study indicate that three out of five components are sufficiently present in the ICT learning environment (Personal Relevance, Uncertainty of ICT and Student Negotiation). The other two components (Shared Control and Critical Voice), however, were not encouragingly present despite the positive intentions of the ICT curriculum.
