Why stress process skills along with content?

  1. They endure and help adaptation
  2. They are easier to grade
  3. They need no laboratory work
  4. They replace facts entirely
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. They endure and help adaptation

1. The paper says process skills are more enduring and enable the learner to cope with an ever-changing field. 2. It adds that content cannot be ignored, since facts, principles and theories are at the core of science. 3. So process skills do not replace facts, and ease of grading is not the reason. _Source: NCERT Position Paper, National Focus Group on Teaching of Science, 5.1 Aims of Science Education_
