Individual differences in a progressive classroom should be treated as

  • A.a hindrance to the process of learning.
  • B.a failure on the part of teacher.
  • C.criteria for making ability-based groups.
  • D.important for planning of teaching-learning process.

Answer: D

Individual differences should be treated as important for planning of teaching-learning process.

Children differ in abilities, interests, pace, background and learning styles. A progressive teacher uses knowledge of these differences to plan varied activities, materials and assessment so that every child can learn.

Treating differences as a hindrance, or as a failure on the teacher's part, misreads them: they are natural and expected in any group. Using them to make ability-based groups leads to labelling and segregation, which inclusive, progressive education tries to avoid.
