✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of the Law of Readiness
According to Edward Thorndike's Connectionism theory, the Law of Readiness is one of the primary laws of learning. It states that when a neural conduction unit is ready to conduct, conduction by it is satisfying, whereas when it is not ready, forced conduction is annoying.
- Readiness and Satisfaction: When students are mentally and physically prepared to learn, the process yields satisfaction and strengthens neural connections.
- Lack of Readiness and Annoyance: If students are forced to learn without adequate preparation, it leads to frustration and hinders learning.
- Classroom Implication: Teachers must assess students' prior knowledge, maturity, and interest before introducing new concepts to ensure optimal engagement.
