alleryNCF 2005 criticises the 'Herbartian' lesson plan tradition primarily for being:
AInsufficiently focused on examinations
BToo dependent on collaborative group work
CDriven by 'outcomes' at the lesson's end
DCentred on the child's everyday experience
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Driven by 'outcomes' at the lesson's end
1. NCF 2005 §2.4.4 notes: 'The term activity is now a part of the register of most elementary schoolteachers, but in many cases this has just been grafted onto the Herbartian lesson plan, still driven by outcomes at the end of each lesson.'
2. The critique is the lesson-plan's behaviourist 'measurable behaviours' frame, not exam-focus or group work.
3. The framework wants 'units of four or five sessions for each topic' instead.
