The primary goal of learning should be :

  • A.memorization of facts.
  • B.becoming excellent at rote rehearsal.
  • C.competing with peers.
  • D.development of critical thinking.

Answer: D

The primary goal should be the development of critical thinking.

Current pedagogy, as set out in the NCF 2005 and the NEP 2020, moves away from rote learning towards understanding, enquiry and the ability to think critically, solve problems and apply knowledge in new situations. These are the capacities that let learners go on learning throughout life.

Memorising facts, excelling at rote rehearsal and competing with peers are not goals of learning in this view; competition in particular can undermine intrinsic motivation and cooperation.
