Correct Answer to give plenty of opportunities to children to share their own understanding and knowledge. 

NCF(National Curriculum Framework) 2005 is one of the four NCF published in India by NCERT. It seeks to provide a framework for the betterment of educational purposes and experiences.

According to NCF 2005, there are many factors contributing to quality education such as quality of teachers, curriculum, infrastructural facilities, quality of teaching, etc. It seeks to reform the curriculum and to bring learning experiences in and outside the classroom. 

Against the above-mentioned backdrop recommended by the NCF 2005, the primary role of the teacher includes:

  • facilitating children’s learning in a manner that helps children to construct knowledge. 
  • considering learners as active participants in their learning and not as recipients of knowledge.
  • giving plenty of opportunities to children to share their own understanding and knowledge. 
  • encouraging learners to reflect, analyze, and to interpret in the process of knowledge construction.
  • creating fear-free atmosphere, addressing diversity and inclusion, maintaining equity in the education.

Hence, it could be concluded that against the above-mentioned backdrop, the primary role of the teacher should be giving plenty of opportunities to children to share their own understanding and knowledge.
