 Brader-Araje and M.G. Jones expound constructivism as 
"the idea that development of understanding requires the 
learner to actively engage in meaning-making situations.” 
 It is creativity which generates competence in the learner to 
create, to invent, to put forward original and useful ideas in 
context of varied situations. 
 In a constructivist classroom, the teacher as a facilitator 
shows some objects to learner, or draws the fetching pictures 
of certain things and urges them to apply their brains, 
imagination, memory and wit to unfold various names 
(synonyms) of that object.

 Prof. Tony Buzan of England pioneered the effective use of 
Mind-Mapping Theory. 
 This theory entails the effective use of task-based pictorial 
representations and attractive graphics of certain objects. 
 The Mind-Map is the manifestation of the brilliance of thinking. 
 Mind-map graphics renewed and intensified the interest of the 
students in the classroom, and they contemplated and pressed 
their brains to evoke, to recall, to think out various synonyms 
of the pictorial objects.
