In NCF 2005, boredom in a learning task is interpreted as a sign of what?
AThe child lacks the ability to learn
BThe task is too challenging for the child
CThe teacher has explained the topic too well
DThe task has become mechanically repetitive
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The task has become mechanically repetitive
1. NCF 2005 discusses pacing and engagement of learning tasks.
2. It states that boredom is a sign that the task may have become mechanically repetitive and of little cognitive value.
3. Blaming the child's ability is a view the document rejects; an over-challenging task is the opposite condition; clear explanation is unrelated.
4. Hence the task becoming mechanically repetitive is correct.
