Constructivism is a learning paradigm which centers on the individual. According to constructivism knowledge does not exist independent of the individual. The experiences and skills background of the learners have an influence on the cognitive processes.
Knowledge cannot be imparted through instruction; it has to be integrated into the existing mental models and constructs of reality.
