Constructivism | Learning Theories

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

People actively construct or create their own subjective representations of objective reality

learning is an active, contextualized process of constructing knowledge rather than acquiring it

Knowledge is constructed based on personal experiences and hypotheses of the environment.

  • I think this process of constructing new knowledge based on what one already knows is often true - much of this probably happens in the unconscious. Though also at times I think people do just accept something. - Roger Harrison
