NCF 2005 criticises lesson plans that aim mainly at achieving measurable 'behaviours'. It associates this approach with which view of the child?
AA creature to be trained or a computer to be programmed
BAn active constructor of meaning and knowledge
CA curious explorer of the surrounding environment
DA proactive participant in his or her own learning
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A creature to be trained or a computer to be programmed
1. NCF 2005 critiques 'lesson plans' aimed at measurable behaviours.
2. It says this view treats the child as akin to a creature that can be trained, or a computer that can be programmed.
3. The document urges instead viewing the child as constructing knowledge all the time.
4. The other options describe the favoured constructivist view, so the trained-creature image is the criticised view sought.
