Which of the following order of presenting the concepts favours effective learning ?
Answer: C
The keyed answer is Iconic to symbolic.
Jerome Bruner described three modes of representation in the order in which learners handle ideas: enactive (doing), iconic (pictures, diagrams, models) and symbolic (words and numerals). Effective teaching moves from the image to the symbol, so that the abstract sign rests on something the child can see.
The orders 'complex to simple' and 'abstract to concrete' run the wrong way: teaching goes from simple to complex and from concrete to abstract. 'Known to unknown' is also a standard teaching maxim and is a defensible answer here, but the key follows the sequence of modes of representation, which is the more specific statement about presenting concepts.
