ALecture method
BProject method ✓ Correct
CDiscussion method
DAll of the above
Correct answer: (B) Project method — The project method is mainly based on the constructivist approach, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★The project method is mainly based on the constructivist approach, so it is the answer.
★Constructivism holds that learners build their own knowledge by active doing and making sense of experience.
★The project method sets learners a purposeful task, so they construct knowledge by planning, working and solving problems themselves.
★The lecture method is teacher centred and keeps the learner passive, which is opposite to constructing one's own knowledge.
★The discussion method involves learners but is not primarily built as a self-constructing project, so it is not the main constructivist method.
★Since the lecture method does not fit, the answer cannot be all of the above, leaving the project method as correct.
