Discussion
Statement I : The EVS curriculum is framed within social constructivist perspective of learning.
Statement II : Piaget's ideas about children's learning with his in-depth study of children represent the social constructivist perspective.
Answer: C
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
The EVS curriculum, following NCF 2005, is built on a social constructivist view: children construct knowledge through activity and interaction with others and their environment.
Piaget's work, though based on in-depth study of children, represents cognitive (individual) constructivism, in which the child constructs knowledge largely through his or her own interaction with the physical world. Social constructivism is associated with Vygotsky, so Statement II is false.
