Answer to Question 1

The results section presents the outcomes of the statistical analyses of the data. The conclusions tell what the results mean in conceptual terms. Conclusions are inferences based on the results. For example, the results might report that the difference in mean performance between the group taught by Method A and the group taught by Method B was statistically significant at the .01 level. The conclusions might be that Method A is a more effective teaching strategy and should be considered.

Answer to Question 2

Social constructivism focuses on the role of culture and social interaction in the process of meaningful learning. According to this view, meaningful learning occurs when people are explicitly taught how to use the psychological tools of their culture and are then given the chance to use these tools to foster individual and/or shared understanding. Table 9.1 summarizes the characteristics and instructional implications of social constructivism.
