       The research aims to invistigate the effectiveness of the Constructivist Learning Model in the achievement of students of the Department of Art Education in the subject of Mural Art. The population consisted of fourth-year students of the Department of Art Education in the Colleges of Basic Education, totaling 177  students. The sample consisted of 35 students in the experimental group and 33 students in the control group. The research followed the experimental method with a design involving two groups, experimental and control, using a pre-test and post-test. The experimental group was taught according to the Constructivist Learning Model in Mural Art, while the control group was taught using the conventional method. The researcher applied the cognitive achievement post-test to both groups and used the independent samples t-test, which showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group taught using to the Constructivist Learning Model. The researcher also used the paired samples t-test to find differences between the pre-test and post-test for the experimental group, and the results favored the post-test, The researcher also used Cohen's equation to find the effect size, and the size had a large effect of the constructive learning model on the achievement level of the experimental group compared to the achievement level of the control group
