constructivism

A constructivist pedagogy is based around learners constructing their own knowledge and meaning through experience.

This includes learners engaging in real world activities, building on their prior knowledge and experience, developing relevant skills and competencies, developing self-awareness and independent learning skills, working with teachers as facilitators instead of instructors and using formative assessments to inform future learning needs.

His theories indicate that humans create knowledge through the interaction between their experiences and ideas. His view of constructivism is the inspiration for radical constructivism due to his idea that the individual is at the center of the knowledge creation and acquisition process.
