I agree with Anderson. It is called 'Traditional' by the way, therefore changes are needed to improve things. Living in a modern era, the assessment method has got to have a slight change from the previous one. Students can't no longer just sit and listen to teacher's lectures and in the end of the class, teacher will give test to see how far they have understood. It is time for students to actually participate in their learning process, which means less focus on the teacher. Instead of giving the information to students, it is much wiser to let them experience it themselves in exploring their own ideas. As apposed by Anderson "Learning from this
perspective is understood as a self-regulated process of resolving inner cognitive
conflicts that often become apparent through concrete experience, collaborative
discourse, and reflection” she believes that by letting students to take charge of their own learning, they will have a better understanding and it will become a concrete experience for them. Teacher's role are more to assist them if they encounter any problems.
