Which of the following is NOT an effective strategy for teaching-learning ?

  • A.Encouraging children to make intuitive guesses
  • B.Experimentation and exploration
  • C.Dialogue and discussion
  • D.Focusing on reproduction of knowledge as given

Answer: D

The ineffective strategy is focusing on reproduction of knowledge as given.

Reproducing knowledge exactly as given encourages rote memorisation without understanding, which NCF 2005 explicitly calls on schools to move away from.

The other three are effective strategies in a constructivist classroom. Encouraging intuitive guesses lets children form and test their own ideas; experimentation and exploration let them build knowledge from experience; dialogue and discussion help them articulate, compare and refine their understanding.
