"Knowledge is constructed by the learner from experience"
I still don't know (and probably never will) how I am going to learn about Tang and Song China by constructing knowledge from experience. Maybe time travel?
Well... I realized this week that we may have been a teensy bit confused about the purpose of constructivism.
Knowledge might be the wrong word.
I fear meaning is the word.
Learners construct meaning.
I think.

Could it be that the constructivists don't know what they are talking about? Maybe a lack of critical thinking ability?
The phrase "Knowledge is constructed by the learner from experience" is taken from this site that purports to be knowledgeable about the creed:
