b) Social constructivism
c) Doctrine of formal discipline
d) Cognitive constructivism

Answer 1

d) Cognitive constructivism

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive constructivism: The term cognitive constructivism is given in Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Piaget argues that an individual produces different kinds of knowledge and based on that knowledge an individual creates meaning through experiences. He believed that human beings can't process information all of sudden but it takes time for them to form their construct and then understand that information.

Fundamentally, Cognitive constructivism consists of four attributes, such as learning activities, teaching methods, etc.

Types:

1. Cognitive Constructivism.

2. Social Constructivism.

3. Radical Constructivism.
