Question

Which one is NOT true in a constructivist classroom?

• A. Active construction of knowledge
• B. Passive absorption of information
• C. Social learning environment
• D. Students work in group

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Passive absorption of information

• Constructivist classrooms focus on student questions and interests, they build on what students already know, they focus on interactive learning and are student-centered, teachers have a dialogue with students to help them construct their own knowledge, they root in negotiation, and students work primarily in groups.

• Passive learners may quietly absorb information and knowledge without typically engaging with the information received or the learning experience.

• They may not interact with others, share insights, or contribute to a dialogue.
