constructivism

Noun

 * 1)  A Russian movement in modern art characterized by the creation of nonrepresentational geometric objects using industrial materials.
 * 2)  A philosophy that asserts the need to construct a mathematical object to prove it exists.
 * 3)  A psychological epistemology which argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from their experiences.
 * 4) * 2000, Donald Kiraly, A Social Constructivist Approach to Translator Education, St. Jerome Publishing, p. 18:
 * There is no single theory of constructivism. In fact, there are many shades and varieties of constructivism spanning a range of perspectives. There is also no single individual who can be identified as the founder of constructivism. In fact, rather than tracing a linear development along one line of philosophical thought, constructivism seems to circumscribe a set of thinkers, theories and approaches that spring from a plethora of historical and cultural origins.
