2. Constructivist and Directed Models The Differences Between The Two

3. Constructivist Model Student centered teaching approach. A more relaxed less structured classroom environment. Assessment is conducted orally or through open ended written questions. Students experience less anxiety over correct and wrong answers.

4. Directed Model Teacher centered approach. A more structured classroom environment. Assessment is conducted generally through tests and written questions. Students experience more anxiety over correct and wrong answers.

5. The End Result Teachers must adjust themselves to what the students respond to. There is good and bad in both models. A combination of the two approaches may come out with the best results for all involved.
