THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER IN A STUDENT CENTERED CLASSROOM

Teacher –Students interaction is a  multiple perspective  learning strategy based on a given situation
or phenomenon  involving thinking and
reasoning skill development 

This based on flexibility , as teacher-students
compare and contrast various possibilities in order to draw  conclusions.  Students draw from their background knowledge
and experience as they try to solve a puzzle. Thus, they continually imbibe new
knowledge into existing knowledge, thereby creating a personal memory bank of resources
which will serve as a base for the coming knowledge.

The
students relate the given problem with their environment through
connections and associations to get clues to solve the given  a subject matter..They learn to support their
outcome with facts and reasonable arguments.

 All sorts of information are collated,
analyzed and synthesized  in order to
draw conclusions and make necessary evaluations
and conclusions. There is growth in critical  thinking and creativity  needed during the process of comparing and
contrasting different ideas and contexts.

 The Student needs to personally reflect deeply
 in order to organize and understand the wider
world. As they gather insights  they
think through a problem, investigation or activity, and draw conclusion  that allow them to go beyond the simple
accession of facts and information by learning how to see implications and apply
them in other problems.

Communication
and Social skill Development

Learners  must learn to collaborate on tasks
effectively by sharing ideas and so must learn to relate with others  to evaluate their contributions in a socially
acceptable manner. This is essential to achieve in the real world, since they
will always be exposed to a variety of experiences in which they will have to
navigate among others' views and information.

Students learn how to express their
ideas and findings which become  self-assessment
activity,  leading them to gain more
insight into how well or poorly the given task is understood.

 Traditional assessment is based on pen-and-paper
tests whereby learners demonstrate or reproduce knowledge in the form of short
responses and multiple-choice selection, which often inspire little personal
engagement or development. Constructivist assessment engages the learner'
initiative and personal investment through journals; magazines and writings;
research work, physical models, and artistic representations. This engages the
creative instincts to develop his ability to express knowledge through
different forms. The learner is also more likely to retain and transfer the new
knowledge; and adapt to real world. environment

Constructivism recognizes and
validates the learner point of view, so that rather than being right or wrong
he reevaluates and readjusts his knowledge and understanding. That way
confidence and self esteem is generated; which in turn motivate the learner, to
tackle more complex tasks and problems.
