1. Do the new learning theories mean we should stop memorization and drill activities in class? why?
Answer: No, they are still demanded in same aspects of education.
2. There are official truth/principles in such discipline as Ethics, Chemistry, Physics, History, etc. Do you think Constructivism really want to abandon universal truth/principles? (Clue: some beliefs result from faulty information, ancient/unscientific tradition. Primitive people believed the world was flat. Can you cite other examples of untruthful beliefs?)
Answer: Constructivism does not want us to abandon universal truth, it encourages us to think and not just go with the flow.
3. Can personal discoveries contradict socially/culturally accepted principles or values? (Clue: revolutions are caused by those in power like depots unwilling to change their ways. What did Jose Rizal and other patriots discover about colonization of the Philippine islands)?
