Traditional pedagogical models that rely heavily on rote memorization and standardized instruction fail to adequately support the diverse needs of mentally ill learners. In contrast, constructivist teaching approaches emphasize learner-centred, experiential, and reflective methods, offering an alternative framework for inclusive education. This study explores how constructivist teaching strategies can address the cognitive and emotional needs of learners with mental health challenges, fostering holistic development and meaningful engagement. The research employed a qualitative methodology based on document analysis of published academic literature, policy reports, and empirical studies in the fields of education, psychology, and mental health. Three objectives guided the study: (i) to examine how constructivist teaching supports the cognitive needs of mentally ill learners, (ii) to investigate its role in addressing emotional needs, and (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness of constructivist approaches in integrating cognitive and emotional development. Findings indicate that constructivist strategies-such as scaffolding, inquiry-based learning, and dialogic teaching-enhance comprehension, adaptability, and reflective thinking, thereby reducing cognitive strain. Simultaneously, emotionally responsive practices such as validation of learner experiences, peer collaboration, and the creation of safe learning environments promote psychological security and motivation. Moreover, the integration of cognitive and emotional dimensions through experiential and project-based learning demonstrates strong potential for holistic learner development. The study concludes that constructivist teaching approaches provide effective pathways for inclusive and transformative education for mentally ill learners, contributing to both academic achievement and emotional resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Constructivist Teaching, Emotional Needs, Inclusive Education, Mentally Ill Learners, Qualitative Study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 277-285<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/277-285.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Jannatul Saheli DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03070030 Abstract: Mental illness presents significant barriers to learning, often affecting both cognitive processing and emotional regulation.
