Detailed Explanation
Explanation
The primary objective of the 'Critical and Positivist Method' in history teaching is to move students away from rote learning and develop 'Historical Evidence-based Reasoning'.
- Option B is correct: When students directly analyze primary sources (such as inscriptions, coins, and contemporary documents), they learn to examine the authenticity of evidence like a historian, which falls under high-level cognitive skills.
- Options A, C, and D promote passive learning, memorization, or emotional engagement rather than rigorous analytical reasoning based on historical evidence.
