Correct Answer - Option 1 : I, II, III and IV
Activity is an objective-oriented task in which the learner gets spontaneously involved and derives pleasure in achieving the learning objectives. There are four major elements of an effective learning activity. These elements are not independent of each other, they are mutually interdependent. These elements of an effective learning activity are:
-
Focused: Activity for learning is always goal-directed and is so designed that the participating students are focused to solve the problem or reach the target and are not easily distracted.
-
Challenging: An effective activity poses a challenge before the students. It is neither too easy to neglect nor too difficult to attempt for solving. It is moderately difficult which is within the capability of the students to solve but with concentration and with a little more effort.
-
Spontaneous Involvement: A good activity is such that it attracts the students immediately when it starts and they join in it out of their own interest without any persuasion or compulsion.
-
Joyful: The test of the efficacy of the activity is when the student derives a sense of satisfaction after its completion. The very nature of a good activity is that it is interesting for the students to conduct and it brings a sense of achievement, provides joy, which ultimately becomes the source of intrinsic motivation for the students to go for the next activity which might be more challenging.
Hence, all the above points are the elements of an activity.
