Students possess infinite learning potential. If it is explored and channelized constructively, it can yield miraculous results. The real challenge lies in to explore the methodology which will discover, cultivate and harness the learning potential of students for the overall well-being of humanity. The secondary school years are considered as the crucial years of life. The focused educational experiences at secondary school level education change the future and viewpoint of the adolescents to a very large extent. Therefore, restructuring the secondary educational process is essential to develop the students’ potential up to the level of proximal development with effective teaching learning process. This paper highlights the benefits of social constructivist approach in teaching learning process and of exploring the vast reservoir of invaluable hidden potential of students which otherwise lies woefully unexplored.
