Q77

Which of the following should not be the appropriate pedagogy to learn theme “food” of EVS ?

  1. (1) The teacher should try to make the children express their own views.
  2. (2) Stimulate children’s imagination to give them opportunities to construct knowledge.
  3. (3) Motivating the children to draw a labelled diagram of the digestive system.Correct answer
  4. (4) Ask the children to draw their own picture and draw in their mind where the food goes from their mouth in the picture.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) Drawing a labelled diagram of the digestive system.

  1. At the primary stage, EVS lets children think about where food goes in their own way.
  2. A labelled diagram pushes technical terms and copying, which is beyond this stage and leads to rote learning.
  3. Options (1), (2) and (4) invite children's own ideas, imagination and drawings, which is the suggested approach.

Trap: (4) may look unscientific, but imagining the path of food is exactly what the textbook asks.
