Abstract
Knowledge construction plays an important role in determining the effectiveness of learning by focusing on how humans process information and transform it into knowledge. This paper tries to identify the models of knowledge construction process that is suitable for the development of learning environment. The process of constructing student knowledge through a learning system involves an analysis of several types of knowledge construction models used as analytical tools for online learning. The methodology that been used in this paper is thematic analysis. From the analysis, it seems that it is suitable for us to use the Alavi Knowledge Management Process Model to develop a learning environment. Besides, the analysis from Veerman and Veldhuis-Diermanse model also appears to be a better choice as the process in this model able to help construct a social constructivist principle through focusing on non-task related activities to determine the process of knowledge construction. The implementation of online collaborative discussions is said to have great potential to provide opportunities for students to engage intellectually in the process of knowledge construction and in the tradition of cognitive and constructivism learning. Therefore, teachers must be prepared to implement suitable developments and cultures in teaching strategies by providing basic information, involving students to practice and apply relevant skills and implement it in fitting time

Knowledge construction is the heart of a learning process that determines the success of any learning effort
The existence of an online learning environment based on internet technology enables the knowledge construction process for collaborative discussions held
In order to identify the models of knowledge construction process that is suitable for the development of learning environment, a review process has been carried out as in Table 1 which shows the analysis of 3 models of knowledge construction process
Summary
Knowledge construction is the heart of a learning process that determines the success of any learning effort. Zhu [4] conducted a study on identifying satisfaction, performance and knowledge construction through collaborative online discussion among students in two different cultural contexts. Students from both universities were first year students specializing in educational science from Flemish University and China University. The combination of computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and face to face learning in a new learning environment where students can discuss in front of a shared computer has been used Their findings show that both students are able to contribute to the better quality of knowledge construction for the second test than the first test. The existence of an online learning environment based on internet technology enables the knowledge construction process for collaborative discussions held
