What is Constructivism?A view of learning based on the belief that

knowledge isn't a thing that can simply begiven by the teacher at the front of students

Students learn by tting new informationtogether with what they already know

Learners are the builders and creators of

meaning and knowledgeKnowledge is constructed by learners

through an active, mental process ofdevelopment
