alleryWhy stress process skills along with content?
AThey endure and help adaptation
BThey are easier to grade
CThey need no laboratory work
DThey replace facts entirely
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. They endure and help adaptation
1. The paper says process skills are more enduring and enable the learner to cope with an ever-changing field.
2. It adds that content cannot be ignored, since facts, principles and theories are at the core of science.
3. So process skills do not replace facts, and ease of grading is not the reason.
