Constructivism (learning theory)

Constructivism is a learning theory that says that people learn by constructing knowledge out of their own experiences. This means that people learn by trying out new things and experimenting with their environment, instead of just memorizing information from someone else. Constructivists also believe that every person has their own unique way of learning, and their own unique understanding of the world. So, instead of teaching everyone the same thing in the same way, teachers should create lessons based on each student's individual needs.
