-Although constructivism also includes learning methods with a certain degree of guidance and not just discovery learning and minimally guided instruction,​ critics claim that those methods still ignore proven benefits guidance, worked examples(()), and induce a higher cognitive load  resulting in lower resources available for learning due to orientation on finding a solution to a problem.+Although constructivism also includes learning methods with a certain degree of guidance and not just discovery learning and minimally guided instruction,​ critics claim that those methods still ignore proven benefits guidance, worked examples, and induce a higher cognitive load  resulting in lower resources available for learning due to orientation on finding a solution to a problem.
  
 It is important to notice that these findings do **not indicate** that the initial **assumptions of constructivism** of a learner constructing his own representation of knowledge are **wrong**.
