The Five E's instructional model of constructivism has been developed on the basis of which of the following theoretical bases of learning?
ALearning emerges from the sequence of events in a class.
BLearning occurs through the search for the epistemological structure of understanding. ✓ Correct
CLearning is contingent upon the socio-emotional environment in the class.
DLearning is perceived as a change in behaviour as a result of teacher motivation.
Correct answer: (B) Learning occurs through the search for the epistemological structure of understanding. — The Five E's model rests on learning through the search for the epistemological structure of understanding, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The Five E's model rests on learning through the search for the epistemological structure of understanding, so that is the answer.
★Constructivism holds that learners build their own knowledge by making sense of experience rather than receiving ready-made facts.
★The Five E's, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate, guide the learner to construct and organise understanding step by step.
★This matches an epistemological search, because the learner actively looks for how knowledge is structured and connected.
★Learning as a mere sequence of class events or as a product of teacher motivation reflects behaviourist, not constructivist, thinking.
★The socio-emotional environment matters generally but is not the specific theoretical base of the Five E's model.
