ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Co-construction (learning)

Co-construction in learning is like building a sandcastle with a friend. Just like how you and your friend work together to make the sandcastle, in co-construction learning, you and your classmates work together to learn new things.

This means that instead of just the teacher telling you what to do, you get to share your own ideas and thoughts with your peers. For example, if your teacher is teaching a lesson about animals, your classmates can contribute by telling you about their pets or even showing pictures they have in their phones.

It is all about learning together, everyone sharing their knowledge and ideas to make learning more fun and effective. Just as teamwork is important in building a big, strong sandcastle, co-construction in learning strengthens everyone's knowledge and understanding.
