Q24

A teacher who believes in constructivist pedagogy would—

  1. (1) avoid connecting content to real world.
  2. (2) avoid judgements of students solely on the basis of socio-cultural backgrounds.Correct answer
  3. (3) promote high levels of verbal instructions as primary pedagogy.
  4. (4) promote ‘ability grouping’ of students.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) avoid judgements of students solely on socio-cultural backgrounds

  1. A constructivist teacher sees every child as an active builder of knowledge who brings useful experiences from home and community.
  2. So the teacher does not prejudge ability from caste, class, language or region.
  3. Constructivists link content to real life, prefer activity over long verbal instruction, and avoid fixed ability grouping that labels children.

Trap: (4) ability grouping sounds practical but labels learners.
