Discussion
Assertion (A) : Teachers should constantly examine their own attitudes and biases while working with children.
Reason (R) : The process of problem-solving is hindered by functional fixedness.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: B
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion is sound: teachers' own attitudes and biases shape how they treat children, so reflective teachers keep examining them. The Reason is also true: functional fixedness, seeing an object only in its usual use, is a well-known barrier to problem solving.
But the two statements are about different things. Functional fixedness concerns problem solving, not teachers' biases towards children, so the Reason does not explain the Assertion.
