What is the significance of Environmental Studies at the primary level ? Choose the most appropriate option from the following.
(A) It is child focused.
(B) Its focus is to teach the environment to children.
(C) Environmental Studies makes children experience their environment.
(D) Its objective is to develop positive attitude, problem solving skills and values.
Answer: C
The significance lies in (A), (C) and (D), so the answer is (A), (C) and (D).
Primary EVS is child focused (A): it starts from the child's own experiences and questions. It helps children experience and explore their environment directly (C). And it aims to develop positive attitudes, problem-solving skills and values such as concern for the environment and for others (D).
Statement (B) describes the transmission approach that EVS rejects. The environment is not a body of facts to be 'taught'; children learn through engaging with it. So every option containing (B) is wrong.
