Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

play an active role in

Solution :

The correct answer is play an active role in.


Explanation:

According to the constructivist perspective of learning (advocated by theorists such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky), learners are active creators of their own knowledge rather than passive recipients of information. Children construct understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences, actively engaging with their environment, making sense of new information, and updating their existing mental frameworks (schemas).


Therefore, constructivism asserts that children play an active role in the construction of their own knowledge.
