Discussion
Assertion (A) : An effective pedagogical strategy is to ask children to make linkages of new information with what they already know.
Reason (R) : Identifying commonalities and differences can help children organize information which help them to think as well as remember better.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: D
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Linking new information to prior knowledge is a well-established strategy: it builds on existing schemas and makes new learning meaningful rather than rote. The reason explains why it works. Making those links means noticing what the new idea shares with, and how it differs from, what is already known; that comparison organises the information, which supports both thinking and later recall.
So both statements are true and the reason gives the mechanism behind the assertion, ruling out the options that call either false or deny the link.
