UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B are correct as constructivism emphasises learners actively constructing meaning through inquiry and dialogue. D is also true because problem-based and project-based learning are common constructivist strategies that require learners to investigate and create. C is false since constructivism explicitly foregrounds prior knowledge, and E is false because teachers still scaffold, question and support learners rather than withdrawing entirely. Therefore, A, B and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A combines A and B but leaves out D, overlooking typical constructivist strategies such as projects and problem-based tasks. As D is true, A and B only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B includes B and D but omits A, which provides the core view of learners as knowledge constructors. Without A, the theoretical foundation is missing, so B and D only is not sufficient.

Option C:
Option C groups A, B and D, capturing the constructivist view of active learners, inquiry and problem-based learning while excluding the two false statements C and E. This makes A, B and D only the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D adds C to A, B and D, but C wrongly claims that prior knowledge is unimportant in constructivism. Including C makes A, B, C and D only logically inconsistent.
