Q2) Compare Piaget's constructivist approaches to the classroom environment with those in the NAEYC document on guidance practices.
Answer: The basic perspective of constructivist education is that the child creates knowledge by interacting with the social and physical environment.This knowledge is not a product conferred on a child but is the meaning that the child creates from experience.Piaget emphasized that the maturing child learned best by interacting with the environment.
