Answer: B

A constructivist teacher would avoid judgements of students solely on the basis of socio-cultural backgrounds.

Constructivism holds that every child builds knowledge actively from experience, and that the experiences children bring from home are resources for learning. Labelling or limiting a child because of background denies that capacity.

The other options are contrary to constructivism. It connects content to the real world rather than avoiding it, relies on activity and discussion rather than heavy verbal instruction, and favours mixed-ability collaboration rather than fixed ability grouping.
