Solution:

Approaches to learning describe and explain the conditions under which learning does and does not take place. This movement is towards theorizing the process of learning. It attempts to provide a definite coherence to one particular subset of experimental findings in the field of learning.Constructivistic/Constructivism is centered on the idea that human knowledge and learning are actively constructed by the teacher, not passively received from the environment.Knowledge is always someone's knowledge. It is created or constructed by the experiencing individual.The learner is not a passive entity but an active cognizing subject. He\she plays an important role in the learning and development of knowledge.Learners have to construct knowledge themselves or by working in small groups in which the teacher facilitates each group. Knowledge is not passively received or absorbed by the learner but actively built by him\her. What more this implies is that knowledge cannot be transmitted from one learner to another.Thus, it is concluded that the Constructivistic approach is being followed in the classroom.Hint The behaviouristic approach to learning emphasizes that behavior begins with reflexes, i.e., natural responses, and new behavior results from the acquisition of new bonds of stimulus and response through experiences.Psychoanalytic (or Freudian psychology) is a body of ideas developed by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. The Psychoanalytic Method includes three main components namely id, ego, and superego.In expository teaching, the input is directly provided by the teacher who communicates the new information or process. In this approach, the teacher communicates maximum information to the students in minimum time.
