Approaches to learning describe and explain the conditions under which learning does and does not take place. This movement is towards theorizing the process of learning. It attempts to provide a definite coherence to one particular subset of experimental findings in the field of learning.Constructivism is centered on the idea that human knowledge and learning are actively constructed by the teacher, not passively received from the environment.Knowledge is always someone's knowledge. It is created or constructed by the experiencing individual.The learner is not a passive entity but an active cognizing subject. He\she plays an important role in the learning and development of knowledge.Learners have to construct knowledge themselves or by working in small groups in which the teacher facilitates each group. Knowledge is not passively received or absorbed by the learner but actively built by him\her. What more this implies is that knowledge cannot be transmitted from one learner to another.Constructivism emphasizes that new learning depends on current understanding and meaningful learning occurs through social interaction and with authentic learning tasks.Thus, it is concluded that the learning is hindered by social interaction, is NOT a characteristic of constructivism.
