Answer 1

1).Name and discuss five points of councells theory of his significance.

Humanistic - under this approach, people have within themselves all the resources they require to live healthy and functional lives, and that problems occur due to restricted or unavailable problem-solving resources.

Cognitive – it holds that individuals undergo emotional and psychological difficulties when their thinking is out of sync with reality.

Behavioral – under this approach, people engage in problematic thinking and behavior when their environment supports it. Problems will continue to occur when the surroundings bolster or encourage them.

Psychoanalytic – it holds that psychological problems result from the ongoing influence of unconscious psychological drives of motivations resulting from past relationships and experiences.

Constructionist – they hold that knowledge is merely a constructed or invented understanding of actual events in the world.

2).FOR 6 MARKS explain what is inquiry based learning and how can it affect the teaching of social sciences.

Inquiry based learning is an approach to learning that begins by posing questions, scenarios or problems and is assisted by a facilitator rather than lecturer in the classroom. It mainly differs from traditional education in that traditional education approaches rely on the teacher presenting facts and their own knowledge about the subject.

Inquiry based learning can impact the teaching of social sciences by making it a flexible and multi-directional inquiry driven process of thinking and learning and thus developing young scientific thinkers. Under this approach, students: are able to recognize that science is more than memorizing facts, have the opportunity to develop new knowledge by taking control of their learning, learning is influenced by their social environment where they have an opportunity to learn from each other and this approach enables them transfer their new knowledge more easily to real life contexts.

3).Why is learner centered approach important in the teaching of social science briefly discuss two points

Learner-centered approach encompasses teaching methods that place the learner’s needs as central to the learning experience. Learners choose what, how and the pace they will learn and assess their own learning. In teaching of social sciences, it’s impactful because:

This approach helps students develop their thinking skills, solve problems and make decisions, all of which are valuable skills in social sciences. This is because it directly engages students in their learning, provides explicit skill instruction and encourages students to reflect on what they are learning and how they are learning it.

It helps students evaluate evidence, analyze arguments and generate ideas. This is because it strongly builds student-student and instructor-student collaboration and motivates learners by giving them control over learning processes.
