While using the 'Problem-Solving Method' in Environmental Studies (EVS) teaching, which of the following steps is considered most logical and scientific, fostering higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in students?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer Analysis
Option (C) is correct because formulating a hypothesis and testing it through logical data collection represents the core of the scientific inquiry process. This encourages critical thinking and analytical reasoning in students.
Why other options are incorrect:
- Option A: Drawing only simple conclusions bypasses deep cognitive processing and critical evaluation.
- Option B: Asking an expert directly promotes passive learning and hinders independent problem-solving abilities.
- Option C: (Correct) Formulating hypotheses and testing them builds high-order thinking skills (HOTS).
- Option D: Rote memorization of textbook information contradicts constructivist pedagogy and active learning principles.
