- Knowledge is negotiated and re-negotiated socially
- Through the process of discussion, individuals come to a consensus about the meaning of a concept
- Language in a social gathering facilitates the articulation of thought (which results in the construction of ideas and understandings)
Principles of Social Constructivism:
- Prior knowledge is crucial to any learning experience
- People perceive things differently
- Collaboration with others facilitates understandings
- Knowledge is more meaningful when it is linked to existing understandings
-Knowledge is richer when it has multiple links
