Slovak University of Technology Constructivism Objectivist View Constructivist View Knowledge exists outside of individuals and can be transferred from teachers to students. Knowledge has personal meaning. It is created by individual students. Students learn what they hear and what they read. If a teacher explains abstract concepts well, students will learn those concepts. Learners construct their own knowledge by looking for meaning and order; they interpret what they hear, read, and see based on their previous learning and habits. Learning is successful when students can repeat what was taught. Learning is successful when students can demonstrate conceptual understanding. 25 April 2019 Slovak University of Technology
