Social Constructivism (Explained for Beginners in 3 Minutes)

Social constructivism is a theory that suggests knowledge is constructed within a social context. This theory is rooted in the work of several 20th-century scholars, most notably Lev Vygotsky. He proposed that community and culture play a central role in the process of "making meaning." Unlike theories that emphasize learning as primarily an individual process, social constructivism focuses on the interactions between individuals and their societal frameworks.
