This theory considers knowledge is contained in a series of mental maps, or schema, inside our brains. As we experience new things, we make sense of them by using our current mental map, but then by ourselves, we actively reconstruct those mental maps to accommodate the new information we have gained. For teaching and learning, this means that actively discovering new information by doing things will lead to the construction of knowledge inside our brain.However , it may often help to have someone around to guide and help us with the resources we need.This way of teaching and learning is known as experiential.
