Such a teacher tends to emphasise discussion and negotiations.
If knowledge is seen as existing mainly in the students' ability to interpret, knowledge is constructed by the learners rather than handed to them. A teacher who holds this constructivist view gives students opportunities to interpret, question and negotiate meanings with one another and with the teacher, which is done through discussion.
