Knowledge Construction

Knowledge construction is the process through which individuals create understanding and meaning based on their experiences and interactions with the world. In a constructivist framework, learning is seen not as passive absorption of information, but as an active process where learners integrate new knowledge with their existing beliefs. This involves questioning, reflecting, and collaborating with others. By engaging in discussions and problem-solving, learners build their own understanding, adapting and reshaping ideas to fit their unique perspectives. This approach emphasizes the role of social contexts and personal experiences in shaping how we understand complex concepts.
