Chapter 4 "Mangoes Round the Year" of NCERT Environmental Studies textbook has a story on making mango papad so that children not only understand the process and technique but also appreciate the skills of cooking and preservation. As per NCF 2005, which general objective of teaching EVS is being achieved through this lesson ?
Answer: C
The objective is to develop understanding with the help of observation and examples related to our experiences in place of abstraction.
NCF 2005 and the EVS syllabus want children to learn about their environment by connecting it with their own lives. Following how aam papad is made at home, a familiar process, lets children understand processes such as drying and preserving food, and value everyday skills, through concrete experience rather than abstract definitions.
Knowing how aam papad is made is the content of the lesson, not a general objective of EVS teaching. Explaining the labour needed to make an object, or how things are made from the natural environment, are narrower outcomes; the general aim the lesson serves is learning from experience.
