What we learn

Teaching Strategies Contstructivism assumes that learners construct

their own knowledge on the basis of interaction with their environment.

Knowledge is physically constructed by learners who are involved in active learning

Knowledge is symbolically constructed by learners who are making their own representations of action

Knowledge is socially constructed by learners who convey their meaning making to others;

Knowledge is theoretically constructed by learners who try to explain things they don't completely understand
