IV. Evaluation V. Assignment
Constructivist Classroom -students work collaboratively in groups, independently or in partners. -students are active learners rather than passive learners. -gaining knowledge is important rather than producing the correct answer.
Most children today are actively participating in engaging activity whether in groups, independent and pair-share activity. The more active the learners to discover their own learning's, the more they gain knowledge to depend their answer rather than to discover the answer by answering the questions intentionally.
