Constructivism
• Learning consists of what
a person can actively
assemble for himself and
not what he can receive
passively.
•The role of learning is to
help the individual
live/adapt to his personal
world.
14. Three Practical Implications
The learner is directly responsible
for learning.
The context of meaningful learning
consists in the learner “connecting”
his school activity with real life.
The purpose of education is
acquisition of practical and personal
knowledge, not abstract or universal
truths.

experience.
