alleryWhich classroom approach most directly applies Piaget's ideas?
AChild-centred, open classrooms
BExpert-guided peer tutoring
CDrill with rewards and praise
DAbstract rules taught first
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Child-centred, open classrooms
1. Piaget held that children actively construct their own understanding.
2. Classrooms that let children explore, question and discover put the child at the centre.
3. Child-centred classrooms and open education directly apply his views.
**Why not the others:** Expert-guided peer tutoring is closer to Vygotsky; drill with rewards is behaviourist; teaching abstract rules first ignores the child's stage.
