It is not just "come to know." That would fit memorizing something heard in a
lecture. Constructivist one activley engaged to personalize and
individualized the meaning in some way share or form through activities,
projects, methods etc.

is "constructivist" if you adopt the point of view that constructivism is
the way humans come to know. We can attempt to be a little prescriptive in
structuring our learning environment, but we must not make too many
assumptions. There have been so many good arguments against systems
approaches based on behaviourist views of human learning, I leave them for
the reader to find.
