6、 Begley in Newsweek, May 31, 1993,Multimedia as a Mode of Content Delivery,Constructivism is a set of beliefs about knowing and learning that emphasizes the active role of learners in constructing their own knowledge The construction of knowledge is viewed to be the result of a learners attempts to
7、use his/her existing knowledge to make sense of new experiences. This entails both the modification of concepts and the reorganization of knowledge structures Constructivism stands in stark contrast to the view of learning in which individuals passively receive well-organized knowledge.R.
