Answer 1

Answer:

C. Repeated learning with increasing complexity

• The concept of the Spiral Curriculum was introduced by psychologist Jerome Bruner.

• His core philosophy was that "any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development."

Key Characteristics of a Spiral Curriculum

• Cyclical Revisit : Students return to the same topics multiple times throughout their schooling.

• Increasing Depth : Each time a topic is revisited, it is covered with more complexity and detail.

• Building on Prior Knowledge : It links new learning to what the student already knows, reinforcing the "scaffolding" of their education.
