What will be an ideal response?
The Integrative model was developed by teacher educators Don Kauchak and Paul Eggen (Kauchak & Eggen, 2012), and builds on the work of Hilda Taba's Taba Curriculum Development Project, as well as other key teaching models that she developed, including the Concept Attainment model, the Concept Development model, and the Inductive model). Constructivism is foundational to all of these models in that in each of these models, learning is an active process in which the learner uses sensory input to construct meaning out of experiences. More specifically, in these models, (1) learners need to engage in "active learning" (Dewey, 1916), (2) learners learn to learn as they learn (Resnick, 1987), (3) constructing meaning is mental, (4) involves language, and (5) is social (Vygotsky, 1962).
