Question 1:
1.1. a) The social constructivism theory states that knowledge evolves through the
process of social interactions and the self-evaluation of the individuals’
understanding. This means that every interaction between two or more people
will present an opportunity for the acquisition of new knowledge, or for current
knowledge to be expanded.
b) Both focus on the interests of the leaners rather than the teachers or those
who design the teaching process.
Both focus on the fact that interaction with others help students learn better.
c) Yes, I do think the learners would benefit from this, because when learners
have the opportunity to interact with their peers during a lesson or to ‘be in
charge’, it helps them learn better.
d) No, I do not believe that. Learners are also just human beings like teachers
and should be treated as such. They should be involved in choosing topics and
making decisions about how lessons will take place.
e) To connect learners to their inner strengths. To guide learners on making their
own decisions based on the strengths that they have.
f) Combining new knowledge with current knowledge. Reflect on their
experiences and find out how these experiences have affected them.
1.2. Equipping learners with knowledge, skills and values that are necessary in the
self- fulfillment and participation society.
To provide access to higher education that they would normally not have access
to.

thinking in a more linear fashion.
