Subclaims¶

q1 i? Learning is an initiative construction in which learners code, process, and construct unique understandings based on previous experiences; pure external stimulation is meaningless. → Qiong Jia 2010

Evidence¶

Qiong Jia 2010¶

Qiong Jia. (2010). A Brief Study on the Implication of Constructivism Teaching Theory on Classroom Teaching Reform in Basic Education. International Education Studies, 3(2). https://www.ccsenet.org/ies doi:10.5539/ies.v3n2p197

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical exposition in the article's section on learning, arguing that construction is an initiative, conscious, self-organized recognition way and that "pure external stimulation is meaningless" without learners' coding based on previous experiences. No empirical data are offered.

"Learning is an initiative construction and the generation of meanings. This process is completed by the interaction of learners’ old and new knowledge. In other words, pure external stimulation is meaningless."
