Answer to Question 1

Although disappointed, the researcher has to accept what the data show. Perhaps previous research has been wrong and the researcher is right. Evidently, the question is not settled and further research is needed. The researcher could use the discussions section of the paper to reconsider the theory behind the study.

Answer to Question 2

Cognitive constructivism focuses on the role of cognitive processes that take place within the individual during meaningful learning. Table 10.1 summarizes the characteristics and instructional implications of cognitive constructivism.
