With Declarative Knowledge, you memorize knowledge like in the sciences and math. You then test mastery through multiple choice tests, standardized tests and matching questions. Usually at the beginning of the unit when the teacher first introduces a unit, declarative knowledge is taught and quizzes are given to see how much a student has learned.
Then by the end of the unit, students construct knowledge on their own through project based activities in a student centered classroom and students demonstrate Procedural knowledge which can be defined as a reflection of what students know through reports, demonstrations, debates, web pages, and other activities. Students tend to remember procedural knowledge more than declarative knowledge, so it is a good idea to have plenty of project ideas on hand for students to gain hands on knowledge by the end of a unit.
