The philosophical position known as constructivism views knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner; is a human construction.

Constructivist philosophers assert that knowledge is made by humans themselves. Knowledge is not "out there" in some external reality separate from us. It is we humans who create the content in disciplines such as math and biology. That knowledge would not exist without people making it.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?
Remember, plagiarism is a bad practice of taking someone else's written text or document as if it was your own.
Note the Student's version has no trace of plagiarised text since there is no word for word copying. However, the student version implores deductive reasoning by connecting and summarising the information from the original version.
This example of a comparison between the original version and the student's version does not show any kind of plagiarism. A text is plagiarized when the author uses the exact sentences without giving credit to the original sources, it is important to use the techniques that we have in this student's version such as quotations and references.
