Worked practice questions

EE curriculum rests on which three modes?

  1. Learning about, through and for the environment
  2. Learning from, with and beside the environment
  3. Learning within, over and under the environment
  4. Learning of, by and across the environment
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Learning about, through and for the environment

1. The position paper says the curriculum may be based on learning about, through and for the environment. 2. 'About' is knowledge, 'through' uses surroundings as a resource, 'for' builds action. 3. The other triples are invented wordings and do not appear in the paper. _Source: NCERT Habitat and Learning position paper, 3.1 Objectives of Environmental Education_

What should be the main focus of EE?

  1. Exposing students to the natural and social world
  2. Mastering definitions of ecological terms
  3. Preparing students for a separate EE paper
  4. Teaching conservation laws and penalties
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Exposing students to the natural and social world

1. The paper states the main focus of EE should be to expose students to the real-life world, natural and social. 2. Learners then analyse, evaluate and draw inferences about environmental problems. 3. Memorising terms or laws, or exam preparation, is not the stated focus. _Source: NCERT Habitat and Learning position paper, 3.1 Objectives of Environmental Education_

The new paradigm of education stresses learning rather than what?

  1. Teaching
  2. Exploring
  3. Observing
  4. Assessing
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Teaching

1. The first key element of the new paradigm is 'Learning rather than teaching'. 2. It shifts weight from the teacher's delivery to the learner's own activity. 3. Observing and exploring are encouraged by the paradigm, so they cannot be what it plays down. _Source: NCERT Habitat and Learning position paper, 3.2 New Paradigm_
