Constructivism is an epistemology, which it is a way of thinking to gain knowledge, or it is a process of building on knowledge known by students. As known, education is supposed to be student centred, where the student has to construct their own knowledge. Hence, it can be said that, learning is an active process.
Besides that, constructivist believes that the students already have knowledge or experience before they come to school. However, the prior knowledge they had might be true, wrong or incomplete. In order for the learning to be meaningful, there must be relationship between old and new perception or knowledge.
