What is constructivism?
• Constructivism is basically a theory -- based on observation and scientific
study -- about how people learn.
• It says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of
the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences.
• When we encounter something new, we have to reconcile it with our
previous ideas and experience, maybe changing what we believe, or maybe
discarding the new information as irrelevant. In any case, we are active
creators of our own knowledge.
