Which of the following should not be the appropriate pedagogy to learn theme "food" of EVS ?

  • A.The teacher should try to make the children express their own views.
  • B.Stimulate children's imagination to give them opportunities to construct knowledge.
  • C.Motivating the children to draw a labelled diagram of the digestive system.
  • D.Ask the children to draw their own picture and draw in their mind where the food goes from their mouth in the picture.

Answer: C

The inappropriate pedagogy is motivating the children to draw a labelled diagram of the digestive system.

At the primary level the theme 'Food' is approached through children's own experiences and imagination. A labelled diagram of the digestive system is technical, abstract content that belongs to higher classes and invites copying from a book rather than thinking.

The other three suit primary EVS: children expressing their own views, stimulating their imagination so they construct knowledge, and asking them to picture and draw where food goes after it leaves the mouth, which draws out their own ideas before any formal teaching.
