Question 1: True or False
1.1 False
Education practitioners and secondary school teachers may work in similar settings, but
they have different roles and responsibilities. Practitioners in education can include
various support staff, administrators, and specialists who don’t necessarily teach
students in classrooms like secondary school teachers do.
1.2 True
Teacher education indeed has strong roots in constructivism, which is a learning theory
that encourages learners to actively construct their own understanding. This approach
supports active learning, where teachers help guide students to think critically and
reflect on their own learning processes.
1.3 False
Experiential learning was not made famous by Steve Harvey. It was actually
popularized by David Kolb, an educational theorist who developed the experiential
learning cycle, which emphasizes learning through experience, reflection, and active
experimentation.
1.4 False
The primary purpose of educational foundations is not solely to train students to
become the best teachers. Rather, it focuses on giving students a deep understanding
of educational theories, philosophies, and social issues, so they have a strong
foundation of knowledge for any career in education.
