In the constructivist perspective described in NCF 2005, how do learners acquire knowledge?
ABy copying the answers approved in the staffroom
BBy passively receiving facts from the teacher
CBy memorising textbook content for examinations
DBy actively connecting new ideas to existing ideas
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. By actively connecting new ideas to existing ideas
1. NCF 2005 states that in the constructivist perspective, learning is the construction of knowledge.
2. Learners actively construct their own knowledge by connecting new ideas to existing ideas through experience.
3. Passive receiving describes the model the document rejects; copying staffroom answers and memorising for examinations are practices it explicitly criticises.
4. Therefore actively connecting new ideas to existing ideas is correct.
