Correct Answer - Option 1 : Ask the student to open their tiffin boxes, see the contents, followed by teachers explanation
Creating learning situations in the context of children is very crucial to learning EVS. Efforts need to be made to avoid giving direct information, definitions, and descriptions instead situations should be created for children to construct their own knowledge by interacting first-hand with their surroundings and with other children, elders, and significant others.
The teacher should introduce the topic of Nutrition using the following ways:
- The NCF( 2005) states that the content should be transacted through activities drawing on local resources.
- While introducing the concept of Nutrition, the EVS teacher should ask the students to open their tiffin boxes, see the contents, followed by an explanation.
- The teacher should tell them why don't they eat one type of daily and why it is necessary to eat all the food items in variations.
- Also, telling about the importance of a balanced diet, the teacher can introduce the concept of "Nutrition".
- Taking the example of their food e.g. lunch boxes and food they eat, they can relate more to the nutrition of foods they eat.
- It will help the teacher to provide real and concrete experiences to the students.
Hence, from above it is clear that to introduce the topic on 'Nutrition' in class more effectively a teacher should ask the student to open their tiffin boxes, see the contents, followed by the teacher's explanation.
