Activities and Experimentation Questions and Answers

Q: You wish that students learn by peer-learning strategies. Which strategy will you adopt to form groups ?

The strategy is to make a heterogeneous group based on participation and cooperation.Peer learning works best when group members differ in ability, background and strengths, so that they can explain to and learn from one another, and when the groups are formed with an eye to how well children participate and cooperate.Groups by roll number are arbitrary, groups by examination scores put weak learners together with no one to help them, and groups of the same gender and socio-economic background reduce the diversity that peer learning draws on.

Q: "Record how the seeds germinate into saplings from day 1 to day 10". Rita gave this task to her students before teaching the lesson on 'Germination'. She is trying to assess her students' ability to :(a) draw and represent(b) predict how germinating seeds would look like(c) observe and record(d) infer from the given activity

The key gives (b), (c) and (d): predict, observe and record, and infer.Because the task is given before the lesson, children must predict what will happen to the seeds, then observe and record the changes day by day, and finally draw conclusions about germination from their records. These are the process skills the task assesses.Drawing may be one way of recording, but 'draw and represent' is not the skill the task is designed to assess, which is why options containing (a) are not preferred.

Answer: C

The strategy is to make a heterogeneous group based on participation and cooperation.

Peer learning works best when group members differ in ability, background and strengths, so that they can explain to and learn from one another, and when the groups are formed with an eye to how well children participate and cooperate.

Groups by roll number are arbitrary, groups by examination scores put weak learners together with no one to help them, and groups of the same gender and socio-economic background reduce the diversity that peer learning draws on.
