Question

Role playing model of teaching is mainly based on:

• A. Behaviouristic approach
• B. Cognitivistic approach
• C. Humanistic approach
• D. Social constructivist approach

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Social constructivist approach

• The Role Playing Model, developed largely by Fannie and George Shaftel, is designed to help students explore human relations, step into the shoes of others, and solve social problems in a group setting. It fits the Social Constructivist framework because: Social Interaction: Learning occurs through dialogue and interaction between peers as they act out and analyze "problem stories." Construction of Meaning: Students don't just "receive" moral lessons; they construct their own understanding of social values and empathy by experiencing the situation firsthand. Active Participation: It emphasizes that knowledge about social behavior is best built when students are active participants in a social context.
