✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Environmental Studies (EVS) at the primary level is an integrated subject that combines elements of science, social studies, and environmental education. A 'Field Trip' brings children into contact with real-life situations, enabling them to transform abstract concepts into concrete experiences for better learning.
Key Benefits of Field Trips in EVS:
- Experiential Learning: Connects theoretical classroom learning with practical, real-world environments.
- Skill Development: Enhances observation skills, analytical thinking, and environmental sensitivity.
- Scientific Curiosity: Fosters inquiry-based learning through direct observation of nature and society.
Therefore, option 'a' most accurately defines the core pedagogical objective of this teaching method.
