Elements of Structuralism In Software/Materials

Elements of structuralism - does it include what Warschaeur (1999) refers to as "...the incumbent areas to teach ... the skills necessary for ...tasks. This includes the pragmatics of ... for effective presentation of material."? However, the elements of structuralism should not be overwhelming such that the entire lesson requires students to give certain expected responses to tasks or questions. A task that does not include a 2-way exchange of knowledge between teacher and students to negotiate meaning as well as give students opportunities to explore and fill information gaps may be counter-productive and not result in effective learning.
