The process of knowledge construction involves educators aiding students in comprehending and examining the underlying cultural assumptions, perspectives, and biases that shape the creation of knowledge within a discipline.
"The knowledge construction process relates to the extent to which teachers help students to understand, investigate, and determine how the implicit cultural assumptions, frames of references, perspectives, and biases within a discipline influence the ways in which knowledge is constructed within it" (Banks, An introduction to multicultural education, 2002, p. 14).
