Gilligan has identified a phenomenon that she calls "loss of voice." Describe this phenomenon and indicate the potential implication it has for a constructivist approach to teaching

What will be an ideal response?


Loss of voice occurs when students suppress their true beliefs and opinions about various topics in the presence of parents, teachers, and classmates of the opposite gender. Constructivism relates to individual differences in the perception and formation of ideas. Constructivism relies upon the free exchange of ideas and perspectives to facilitate learning. When students feel compelled to be less than honest in their discussions, constructivist approaches to teaching are compromised. Teachers must carefully monitor discussions and intervene, if necessary, to ensure that all students feel that their opinions are being heard in an open and respectful environment.
