With reference to the 'Project Method' and 'Problem-Solving Method' in the teaching-learning of Environmental Studies (EVS) at the primary level, consider the following statements:
- 1. The project method is based on the pragmatic philosophy of John Dewey and the educational principles of his disciple William Kilpatrick, where students work actively in a natural and collaborative environment to find solutions to meaningful real-life problems.
- 2. Under the problem-solving method, students learn to resolve a complex situation or dilemma by utilizing their logical thinking, observation, and exploratory skills while following the steps of the scientific method.
- 3. Both of these teaching methods are entirely based on a teacher-centric and didactic approach, where students play only a passive listening role and rely solely on rote memorization of textbooks.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct because both the project method (propounded by William Kilpatrick) and the problem-solving method are child-centric and activity-based methods that promote learning by doing, logical thinking, and collaborative learning among students. Statement 3 is incorrect because these methods are not based on teacher-centric or passive rote learning systems; rather, they are entirely student-centric and exploratory.
