ALearners as active participants in the learning process
BSeeking to interpret meaning
CUsing multiple sources of information
DAll of the above ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) All of the above — All the descriptions apply to the constructivist and cognitive views of learning, so the answer is all of the above.
Explanation
★All the descriptions apply to the constructivist and cognitive views of learning, so the answer is all of the above.
★Both views see the learner as building understanding actively in the mind.
★So learners are treated as active participants in the learning process, not passive receivers.
★They are seen as seeking to interpret meaning, making sense of what they meet.
★They are seen as using multiple sources of information to construct that understanding.
★Since each description fits both approaches, all of them together are correct.
