A teacher of Environmental Studies should include the local context of the children in conducting his/her class activities. Which of the following should a teacher pay attention to in order to incorporate the local context ?

  • A.The selection of local context should be in line with the discipline of the school.
  • B.The selection of the local context should be pedagogically imaginative and ethically correct.
  • C.Selection of local context should be from the textbooks of Environmental Studies.
  • D.Local context should be selected according to the convenience of a teacher.

Answer: B

The selection should be pedagogically imaginative and ethically correct.

Bringing in the local context helps children connect EVS with their lives, but the teacher must choose it thoughtfully: it should open up good learning opportunities and must respect children's backgrounds, avoiding anything that embarrasses, stereotypes or excludes any child.

Tying the choice to school discipline or to the teacher's convenience ignores the children's needs. Taking the local context only from the textbook defeats the purpose, because a national textbook cannot contain each child's own surroundings.
