How can teachers support students in becoming self-directed learners in a constructivist classroom?
Answer: C
Teachers support self-directed learning by encouraging students to take responsibility for their own learning and develop self-regulation skills.
A self-directed learner sets goals, plans, monitors progress and adjusts strategies. In a constructivist classroom the teacher builds these skills by giving students choices, encouraging reflection and gradually handing over control of learning to them.
Grades used to make students outperform each other promote competition and extrinsic motivation (A). Teacher-set goals for every task (B) and detailed, prescriptive instructions (D) keep control with the teacher and leave students dependent on direction.
