Topic: Child-centred education

Q22

A constructivist classroom implies :

  1. (1) Focus on reproduction of knowledge.
  2. (2) Viewing learning as a passive process.
  3. (3) Using multiple pedagogical strategies.Correct answer
  4. (4) Emphasis on the role of teacher as an instructor.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) Using multiple pedagogical strategies.

  1. In a constructivist class children build knowledge actively, and they learn in different ways.
  2. So the teacher uses varied strategies: activities, discussion, projects and inquiry.
  3. Reproducing knowledge (1), passive learning (2) and the teacher as mere instructor (4) belong to a transmission model.

Trap: (4) fails because in a constructivist class the teacher is a facilitator, not just an instructor.
