Option 1 : It is a child centered 

EVS covers themes like food, water, shelter, etc. These discuss or deal with the real issues in children’s immediate environment, connecting them with their real experiences at home, neighborhood, and community. 
The pedagogy of EVS at the primary level is
  • Related to real-life experiences of the child.
  • Considers child as a young explorer.
  • Involves a lot of activities where the teacher is just a facilitator and the whole thing is done by the student only.
  • Is child-centered where the child is not considered just a passive recipient of knowledge from the teacher.
  • Provides students ample opportunities to explore, analyze and learn.
  • Avoids rote memorization and just sticking to bookish knowledge.

​Hence the pedagogy of EVS at the primary level is child-centered.
