Discussion
Given below are two statements, one marked as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct option.
Assertion (A) : Conversations with people with different understanding on the same subject make us feel the need to think more critically so that our knowledge is refined.
Reason (R) : According to constructivism, the process of knowledge creation is basically a social process, in which the views and beliefs of others play an important role.
Answer: D
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
When we talk with people who understand a subject differently, their views challenge ours, and we have to think more critically and refine what we know. That is the Assertion.
The Reason states the theory behind it. In social constructivism, associated with Vygotsky, knowledge is built through social interaction, and other people's views and beliefs play a central part in that building. Because knowledge is constructed socially, conversations with people who see things differently refine our knowledge, so (R) explains (A).
