Students learn best when given exposure to experiential learning situations. The concept of democratic culture can be best taught by giving students an experience of a democratic environment in the classroom and discussing examples from other situations of daily life.

Key Points

Following are the best approaches to the teaching of Social Science that is most suited for developing a democratic culture in the classroom:-

  • Making learning a participatory process through debates and discussions in the classroom would develop understanding and reinforce a democratic culture in the classroom.
  • Working on the self-awareness of both the teacher and the students to mitigate prejudices arising from cultural, social, and class differences will emphasize the development of democratic culture in the classroom.

Thus, it is concluded that Both B and C statements are correct.

Hint

  • ​Imparting information given in the textbooks to students is completely textual information. It does not provide experiential learning. So, this procedure will fail to develop democratic values in the classroom.
  • Giving students projects, which are easily available in the market makes them rote memorize the concept.
