Discussion
Read the following statements :
Assertion (A) : The purpose of administering intelligence tests and extended observation should be to compare children in specific domains and abilities.
Reason (R) : Intelligence is an innate ability and cannot be nurtured.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: D
Both A and R are false.
Assessment of intelligence and extended observation should be used to understand each child's strengths and needs so that teaching can be planned for them, not to compare and rank children against one another. So the Assertion is false.
The Reason is also false. Intelligence is shaped by both heredity and environment; nutrition, stimulation, education and experience can nurture it, and theories such as Gardner's multiple intelligences treat abilities as developable. Since neither statement holds, every option that calls A or R true is wrong.
