rather than passively taking in information,
pupils construct knowledge. People create
their representations and integrate new
information into their pre-existing
awareness as they observe the world and
reflect on it (schemas).

help the pupils recognize that each of

6. RElated to this are the processes of assimilation and
accommodation
Assimilation refers to
the method of
integrating new data
into a pre-existing
schema.
Accommodation
refers to revising and
redeveloping an
existing schema using
newly acquired
knowledge.

7. Consequences of the constructivist theory
Instead of passively receiving knowledge, pupils learn
better when they are creatively engaged in learning
experience.
Learning is inherently a collaborative activity because it
takes place in a social environment where pupils and
teachers cooperate to acquire information.
Because knowledge cannot be directly imparted to
pupils, teaching aims to provide opportunities for pupils
to develop knowledge through experience.
