- D.Students should be encouraged to view a problem from many perspectives.✓ Correct
Effective problem-solving pedagogy encourages students to view problems from multiple perspectives, fostering creativity, flexibility, and deeper understanding. Discouraging guess-and-verify limits exploratory thinking. Providing formulae upfront promotes rote application rather than reasoning. Teacher-led step-by-step explanations reduce student agency and problem-solving skills. Multi-perspective approaches align with constructivist and inquiry-based pedagogy.
