CTET PAPER I 2018 · PYQ · Problem Solving Pedagogy · medium
Which one of the following does not describe the ways in which a teacher can model problem solving for children in the classroom?
A.Discuss your thought processes about solving a particular problem
B.Be honest about making mistakes while solving something
C.Use vocabulary like think, ideas, trial and different answers
D.Ask questions with convergent answers✓ Correct
Explanation
Effective problem-solving modeling involves making thinking visible through think-alouds, acknowledging mistakes as part of the learning process, and using vocabulary that promotes exploratory thinking. Convergent questions (with single correct answers) limit problem-solving exploration and do not model the divergent, exploratory thinking essential for problem solving. Open-ended questions are more conducive to modeling problem-solving processes.
