Given below are two statements Statement (I): Learning is also considered as a…

Concept

In teaching-aptitude theory, a construct is an inferred attribute identified through behavioural evidence. A social construct is formed within interaction and cultural norms rather than solely inside an isolated individual.

Learning as a social construct therefore includes observation, interaction, and self-regulation in a social environment; the behaviour developed in that process is oriented by socially shared expectations and desired norms.

Application

1. Statement (I) classifies learning according to how it is formed: interaction with other people and the social environment helps construct knowledge and behaviour.

2. Statement (II) states the behavioural characteristic of that social process: shared social standards guide the behaviour developed through observation, modelling, and self-regulation.

Contrast

• “Both statements are incorrect” removes both the social mediation of learning and the norm-guided behavioural feature from the account.

• “Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect” accepts social mediation while separating it from the norm-guided behavioural feature.

• “Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct” retains the norm-guided behavioural feature while denying the social mediation of learning.

Cross-check

The distinction is not that every learning outcome is morally good. The teaching-aptitude classification contrasts any individual behavioural change with learning shaped through a social environment and its shared norms.

Result

Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
