Discussion
Assertion (A) : 12-year Amana gets scared every time the teacher asks her to answer or solve the maths problem on the blackboard because she fears that the teacher will scold her and she would be embarrassed.
Reason (R) : When students feel unsafe and anxious their learning is adversely affected.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: B
Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(A) describes Amana's fear of being scolded and embarrassed in front of the class, a real and common situation. (R) states the general principle: when students feel unsafe and anxious, their learning suffers.
Amana's fear is a case of that principle, so (R) explains why her learning of mathematics is at risk and why the teacher should create a safe, non-threatening environment.
The teacher's task is therefore to replace fear with encouragement, so that Amana is willing to attempt problems without dreading mistakes.
