This document outlines the theoretical foundations of constructivism as a learning philosophy. It defines constructivism as an epistemology where knowledge is based on personal interpretation of experiences. The key assumptions are that knowledge is constructed by learners rather than transmitted, is context-dependent, and involves unique interpretations. Constructivism views learning as an active process where learners make meaning and share meanings through social interaction and negotiation. Technology can support constructivist learning by allowing learners to construct and represent meaning, explore information from multiple perspectives, learn through simulations and problems, and socially construct knowledge.
