Which of the following is a key principle of Behaviorism?

• Learn only from teachers

In Constructivism, prior knowledge is:

• Used to help understand new concepts

• Only important for adults

Which classroom activity reflects Constructivist learning?

• Students memorize a list of facts

• Students conduct experiments to see what happens

• Students take multiple-choice tests only

• Students listen to a lecture without interaction

When students relate new information to their own experiences, this is called:

• Constructing knowledge

• Operant conditioning

One advantage of Cognitive Theory is:

• It only focuses on memorization

• It encourages critical thinking

• It reduces the teacher’s effort

• It avoids using different methods

Which of the following is a disadvantage of Cognitive Theory?

• It improves problem-solving skills

• It makes teaching more creative

• It requires extra time and effort from teachers
