Among the criteria for selecting knowledge, NCF 2005 identifies which as the most important measure?
AMeaningfulness to the child
BRelevance to later adult life
CInterest in cartoon-like appeal
DUsefulness in passing examinations
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Meaningfulness to the child
1. NCF 2005 lists three measures for selecting knowledge: relevance, interest and meaningfulness.
2. It cautions that relevance can lead to functionalist choices and interest can be reduced to simplistic enjoyment.
3. It states meaningfulness is the most important measure, justifying inclusion only if the child finds the learning meaningful.
4. Relevance, cartoon appeal and exam usefulness are the weaker or cautioned measures, so meaningfulness is correct.
