One of the philosophies of a constructivist classroom is that knowledge should not be full of inert factoids to be memorized but it should be a dynamic. Memorization is not the goal but rather the knowledge obtained from the experience that the studnet had. The student experience is the most important part about learning in a constructivist lesson.

Constructivism does not dismiss the active role of the teacher or expert knowledge but it modifies the role so that educators can assist students in constructing knowledge rather than reciting facts from a textbook.

Learning by doing.
