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.
Explanation

The Five E's model of constructivism rests on the view that learning occurs through the search for the epistemological structure of understanding.

Learners actively build meaning by inquiring into how knowledge is organised, which is the constructivist premise.

Option A ties learning to a mere sequence of classroom events, a behaviourist ordering rather than constructivism.

Option C grounds learning in the socio-emotional environment, which belongs to humanistic and social theories.

Option D defines learning as behaviour change driven by teacher motivation, a behaviourist account.

The Five E's, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate, were developed by Rodger Bybee of the BSCS.
