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
Does knowledge exist outside of, or
separate from, the individual who
knows? Constructivists argue that "...
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."
