| - | ===== About constructivism ===== | ||
| - | Opposing to [[behaviorism|behaviorism]] and [[cognitivism|cognitivism]], [[learning_paradigms|learning paradigms]] which begin from a point of view that world external to the learner is objective and real and the learner needs to map it's principles and facts, constructivism as a learning paradigm focuses on the **assumption that learning is an active process** in which the **learner constructs his own interpretation and meaning** of the objective reality mostly **from his prior knowledge and experience**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Constructivism, developed during the 1990s, views learning as a **process of creating meaning** from experience. Humans //create// meaning from experience rather than //acquire// it. **Construction of new knowledge is the objective of learning** which occurs through interaction of learners prior knowledge and experience. | ||
