alleryIn a constructivist classroom as described in NCF 2005, the teacher's primary role is best characterised as:
AAuthoritative transmitter of correct answers
BFacilitator of reflection and interpretation
CEvaluator of correctly memorised content
DDisciplinarian enforcing single answers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Facilitator of reflection and interpretation
1. NCF 2005 §2.4.1 closes the 'Constructivist Learning Situation' table with: 'Role of the Teacher: In this context, the teacher is a facilitator who encourages learners to reflect, analyse and interpret in the process of knowledge construction.'
2. The transmission and single-answer roles are exactly what the framework critiques.
3. The teacher's role in critical pedagogy is also to step out of 'moral authority' (§2.4.5).
