BDesign their own investigations
CReproduce set answers mechanically
DCollect local environmental data
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Reproduce set answers mechanically
1. The reform needed is away from a system rewarding correct answers copied from authority.
2. Rote teaching therefore asks students to reproduce answers mechanically.
3. Designing investigations, collecting data and debating are the aims of the new approach, not of rote teaching.
