Constructivist Classrooms · CDP

According to constructivist theory, assessment should ideally be:

  1. Only end-of-term written exams that assess factual recall alone
  2. Frequent pop-quizzes centred on rote factual knowledge
  3. Integrated, ongoing, performance- and portfolio-based assessment
  4. Assessment that is left entirely unstructured, informal and unplanned
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Integrated, ongoing, performance- and portfolio-based assessment

Constructivist classrooms favour performance-based assessments such as projects, portfolios, presentations, and student self-assessment — aligning with authentic learning and understanding.
