Original Source Material

The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction.

Student Version
People have asked me about my philosophy of teaching and learning. I would associate myself with the philosophical stance called constructivism that sees knowledge as something constructed by people. Constructivism is founded on the idea that knowledge and truth does not come from an external reality that is objective and that exists apart from a person. I tried explaining constructivism to my brother and he thought the idea was crazy.
