CTET PAPER II 2019 · PYQ · Pedagogy of Social Science · easy
Contemporary understanding of social science pedagogy encourages teachers to do all of the following, except:
A.Encourage learners to learn by reading local experiences of others and finding about their own.
B.Promoting all learners to give identical answers to questions so that all improve.✓ Correct
C.Appreciate learners ability to make questions on the given subject content and accepting it as a valid test of learning.
D.Give opportunities to learners to use their knowledge developed in the classroom at concrete situations.
Explanation
Contemporary social science pedagogy is rooted in constructivism, which values diverse perspectives, learner-generated questions, and the application of knowledge to real-life contexts. Expecting all learners to give identical answers contradicts the constructivist approach because it discourages individual thinking, critical reflection, and diversity of viewpoints. Options (1), (3), and (4) all align with progressive pedagogy. Hence, option (2) is the exception.
