"we have to realize that learners are not passive conformers but instead are active discoverers."
I think the idea of learners as passive conformers was already discarded a long time ago.

Totally agreed!!! However, many US students today are still passive learners. We need to introduce Growth Mindset early in their schooling to encourage our students to be active learners.
Thanks for you comment, not only in US but in many part of the world, where students crammed for an exam, thereafter forget everything after it. Specially in developing countries, mostly in public schools, students aren't doing anything but listening. It's changing but at very slow pace.
