Option 4 : Encouraging students to interact with members of family & community to find diverse food preference.
Enquiry based or discovery-based learning happens only when students are given enough scope to explore through various sources of learning and collect information and then analyze the information and finally come to a conclusion. Here students learn from their own experiences. Encouraging students to interact with members of family and community to find diverse food preferences will promote enquiry as:
- Here the students will be fully active by communicating and collecting the appropriate information from parents and community members.
- Here the students discover many facts they didn't know till now through parents and community members which develop the ability of enquiry.
- Here students design various types of questions that they need to ask their parents and other community members to get the required information from them.
- If students find any novelty and diversity in the answers given by parents and the community members they question immediately regarding that information.
- When students perform all these actions they develop the ability and approach to enquiry.
Hence encouraging students to interact with members of family and community to find diverse food preferences will promote enquiry.
On the other hand directly instructing students what to eat, showing them pictures of various sources of food and asking them to collect the pictures of food may not promote the enquiry approach as all these tasks are very ordinary and do not require enquiry based skills.
