Q25

Active engagement of learners implies that the students—

  1. (1) inquire, explore and question.Correct answer
  2. (2) rote memorize facts and information.
  3. (3) actively value marks and competition.
  4. (4) consider textbook as the sole source of knowledge.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) inquire, explore and question

  1. Active engagement means learners do the thinking themselves.
  2. They ask questions, investigate, try out ideas, discuss and make meaning from experience.
  3. Rote memorising, chasing marks and treating the textbook as the only source keep learners passive, even if they look busy.

Trap: (3) uses the word 'actively', but valuing marks and competition is not engagement with learning.
