Psychological Constructivism

Psychological constructivism is a theory that suggests individuals actively create and interpret their understanding of the world based on their personal experiences and internal mental processes. Instead of passively absorbing information, people build their knowledge through reflection, perception, and interaction, shaping their perception of reality. This approach emphasizes that our understanding is subjective, influenced by our unique background, beliefs, and feelings, making each person's view of the world somewhat unique and dynamic. It highlights the active role of the mind in constructing meaning, rather than just receiving information passively from the environment.
