Explain the commonalities and differences among the four types of theorists: linear thinkers, holists, laissez-faire, and critical.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Linear thinkers favor structure, order, and maximum control of the environment. Holists let the teacher arrange the environment to stimulate students to respond. Laissez-faire maximizes individual freedom without precipitating chaos and espouses no official curriculum. Critical theorists believe in talking about elephants in the room and social justice as the major theme believing that teachers should guide students.
