Correct Answer - Option 4 : Teacher supported activities done by the teacher to achieve the learning goals
The correct answer is Teacher supported activities done by the teacher to achieve the learning goals
Discovery-based learning is typically characterized by having minimal teacher guidance, fewer teacher explanations, solving problems with multiple solutions, use of hand-on materials, minimal repetition and memorization.
Discovery learning is a technique of inquiry-based learning and is considered a constructivist based approach to education.
It is also referred to as problem-based learning, experiential learning and 21st century learning.
It is supported by the work of learning theorists and psychologists Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner, and Seymour Papert.
There are multiple essential components that are required for successful discovery-based learning which include the following:
Teacher guidance where the emphasis is on building upon students’ reasoning and connecting to their experiences
Classroom culture where there is a shared sense of purpose between teacher and students, where open-mindedness and dialogue are encouraged
Students are encouraged to ask questions, inquire through exploration and collaborate with teacher and peers
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
