Worked practice questions

Which social attitude hinders field study of the environment?

  1. Pride in local traditions
  2. Scant respect for manual work
  3. Love of outdoor games
  4. Strong liking for group work
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Scant respect for manual work

1. Studying the habitat means leaving the classroom and getting one's hands dirty. 2. A society that has little respect for manual work gives little support to this kind of learning. 3. Liking for group work, pride in traditions and love of games do not block fieldwork. _Source: NCERT Position Paper, National Focus Group on Habitat and Learning, 1.2 An Enormous Challenge_

Buying ready-made projects to get good grades is described as

  1. A recognised form of group learning
  2. A step toward participatory learning
  3. A fair use of community resources
  4. A malpractice that replaces honest work
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. A malpractice that replaces honest work

1. EVS projects are meant to be done by students through their own observation. 2. Purchasing finished projects replaces that effort, so it is a malpractice. 3. It is not group learning, fair resource use or participation, since the student does no work. _Source: NCERT Position Paper, National Focus Group on Habitat and Learning, 1.2 An Enormous Challenge_

Rote-style EVS teaching mostly asks students to

  1. Debate with visiting experts
  2. Design their own investigations
  3. Reproduce set answers mechanically
  4. Collect local environmental data
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Reproduce set answers mechanically

1. The reform needed is away from a system rewarding correct answers copied from authority. 2. Rote teaching therefore asks students to reproduce answers mechanically. 3. Designing investigations, collecting data and debating are the aims of the new approach, not of rote teaching. _Source: NCERT Position Paper, National Focus Group on Habitat and Learning, 1.2 An Enormous Challenge_
