  • B.Increasing rewards to motivate children to learn

  • D.Showing genuine interest in the content matter and having concern for children's overall well-being and learning

Answer: D

Meaningful learning is supported by showing genuine interest in the content matter and having concern for children's overall well-being and learning.

Children learn meaningfully when they are engaged, feel emotionally secure and see the teacher's own enthusiasm for the subject. A caring, interested teacher creates the relationships and the climate in which children are willing to think, ask questions and connect new ideas to what they know.

More tests and more rewards rely on extrinsic pressure and tend to encourage rote performance for marks. Using only the lecture mode keeps children passive. None of these supports meaningful understanding the way genuine engagement does.
