Suggestions for classroom practice based on social influences on learning and knowledge construction would suggest that we, "Treat verbal explanations skeptically." Of the following, which is the most valid interpretation of this suggestion?
A) Don't conclude that our students understand an idea because we've explained it to them, even if our explanation is very clear.
B) Avoid using verbal explanations when teaching basic ideas, such as simple concepts, rules, and procedures, but use verbal explanations to help students understand complex and abstract ideas.
C) Since learners construct their own knowledge, we should never use verbal explanations in our teaching.
D) Use verbal explanations if we have the vocabulary to clearly explain the ideas, but if our own understanding of the topic is somewhat limited, avoid verbal explanations.
