The concept of core elements in the curriculum reflects the principle of .............. in curriculum.
Answer: D
The key gives Centralizing tendency.
A core of curriculum elements is a part of the curriculum that is fixed at the national level and common to all learners. India's National Policy on Education, 1986 provided for a national curricular framework with a common core (the freedom movement, constitutional obligations, values such as common cultural heritage and equality of the sexes, and others) together with flexible components. A body such as NCERT decides the core for the whole country, which is a centralizing tendency in curriculum planning.
Common heritage, equality and uniformity are things the core content aims at or promotes, not the principle behind having a core. I could not trace the exact textbook wording behind the question, so the choice of 'centralizing tendency' follows the official key and the reasoning above.
