Correct Answer - Option 3 : Environment of the child
Constructivism is based on the belief that knowledge is not passively received but actively built up by the cognizing subject and the function of cognition is adaptive and serves the organization of the experiential world, not the discovery of ontological reality. Constructivism is building on knowledge known by the student. Education is student-centred; students have to construct knowledge themselves. Explanations can use metacognition to explain via metaphor. Semiotics, or meanings of words, are important to keep in mind. Constructivism is a theory, a tool, a lens for examining educational practices."
Radical constructivism
-
Radical constructivism does not deny the objective reality (environment) but considers it unimportant.
- The function of learning and cognition is an adaptation, that is, the construction of viable explanations of the experiences of the learner. These constructions help to impose an order on the learner's flow of continuing experiences in the world.
- Radical constructivism follows both the principles of constructivism, the first of the active learner and the second that regards adaptation as in the function of learning add cognition, by virtue of which the place of truth in knowledge is given to the viability.
Hence, we conclude that radical constructivism does not depend on the environment of the child.
