Constructivists would not think that children absorb ideas that are spoken to them by teachers or that they somehow internalize them through endless repeated practice, constructivists argue that children actually invent their ideas. They assimilate new information to simple, pre-existing notions and modify their understanding according to the new data. During this process, the ideas of children grow in complexity and power so that with support, children develop critical insight into how they think and what they know about the world grows in depth and detail. Constructivism looks carefully at how children create and develop their ideas. (Strommen and Lincoln, 1992)
