Which of the following classroom activities facilitate constructivist teaching-learning processes A. Students take the initiative in providing solutions to classroom problems B. Textbooks are used as the only teaching-learning material in the class. C. Students are expected to answer from their own words and contextual examples D. Assessment activities are mainly centered around board examination pattern Choose the correct option.?

Option 2 : Only A and C

Constructivism represents a view that emphasizes the active role of the learner in building, understanding, and making sense of information. Constructivism represents an approach embedded with the central principle that learners can only make sense of new situations in terms of their existing understanding. 

Following classroom activities facilitate constructivist teaching-learning processes:-

• Students taking the initiative in providing solutions to classroom problems are actively involved in the learning process. Hence constructivist learning is taking place.
• Expecting students to answer from their own words and contextual examples also involves the active involvement of the learners. Hence constructivist learning is taking place.

Thus, it is concluded that Only A and C are the correct options.

Hint

•  Using textbooks as the only teaching-learning material in the class does not include students actively in the construction of knowledge.
• Choosing assessment activities mainly centered around board examination patterns does not include any engagement by students. So, constructivist learning is not taking place.​

Constructivist learning includes :          

• Reciprocal teaching/learning. Allow pairs of students to teach each other.
• Inquiry-based learning (IBL) Learners pose their own questions and seek answers to their questions via research and direct observation. 
• Problem-based learning (PBL).
• Cooperative learning.
