Option 2 : It helps develop the discovery attitude.

There are various teaching methods and approaches which makes teaching-learning a fruitful process. The project method of teaching was jointly contributed by John Dewey and W.H. Kilpatrick. It is a method which promotes:

  • voluntary participation of students by working in a group
  • develops discovery attitude and divergent thinking
  • gives concrete results and thus, helps children learn for a longer period
  • personal experiences of students as the basis of knowledge
  • application of practical knowledge to complete a specific project
  • transmission of practical knowledge to the students for quality experiences
  • active learning by association and mutual co-operation of a group of peers

Hence, we conclude that the project method promotes discovery attitude.
