In the constructivist perspective as set out in NCF 2005, learning is best described as:
A{'text': 'Storage and retrieval of factual content', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': 'Reception of teacher-transmitted knowledge', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': 'Memorising verified facts from textbooks', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': 'Active construction by linking new to prior ideas', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. {'text': 'Active construction by linking new to prior ideas', 'label': 'D'}
1. NCF 2005 §2.4.1 opens: 'In the constructivist perspective, learning is a process of the construction of knowledge. Learners actively construct their own knowledge by connecting new ideas to existing ideas on the basis of materials/activities presented to them.'
2. The framework explicitly contrasts this with knowledge being 'transferred to the child's mind' (§2.5).
3. Storage-retrieval and pure reception are the views NCF 2005 critiques.
