چکیده
Information Systems across the world are challenged by the demand of a complex and ever changing global business environment. This business environment demands “self-regenerating” professionals who are able to address socio-technical problems in a complex business context.

The paper outlines the elements of constructivist pedagogy and provides suggestions to how IS curriculum can implement elements of such an education philosophy.
