The 21st-century educational paradigm demands changes in teaching methods to bridge the gap between students’ learning inside and outside the classroom. Older, teacher-centered methods that emphasize rote memorization have been replaced by approaches that allow students to learn independently, flexibly, and through technology. The objective of this literature review is to identify the foundational concepts and pedagogical requirements for integrating constructivism, humanism, and connectivism to create holistic learning that is relevant to the digital age. This study employs a qualitative methodology and a literature review. Data were collected through a documentary study of various primary and secondary sources. Subsequently, ideas from the three theories were identified, compared, and synthesized through content analysis. The results indicate that integrating these three theories can foster learner-centered learning, increase student engagement, enhance their autonomy, and make learning more adaptable to technological advancements. The success of this implementation depends on a safe learning environment, contextual tasks, the availability of digital resources, and the teacher’s role as a facilitator.
