Q82

A good EVS teacher always talks about environmental issues by taking examples from the children’s environment. This environment of children helps a lot in their learning. This environment of the child is ____________.

  1. (1) Tertiary context
  2. (2) Secondary context
  3. (3) Natural context
  4. (4) Primary contextCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Primary context

  1. The child's own home, neighbourhood and daily life are the first and main source of learning in EVS.
  2. NCF 2005 asks teachers to start from this local setting before moving to distant ideas.
  3. So this environment is the child's primary context for learning.

Trap: 'Natural context' leaves out the social and cultural side of the child's surroundings.
