Question

The school curriculum introduces various types of mirrors and Laws of reflection in 7th class, then introduces the image formation of lenses and Laws of refraction in the 8th class and about the concept of Dispersion and defects of eyes in the 9th class. The most appropriate curricular approach used is:

• A. Disciplinary
• B. Discovery
• C. Concentric
• D. Topical

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Concentric

The Concentric Curricular Approach is a spiral curriculum design where students revisit concepts in increasing complexity and depth as they progress through the grades.

In this case:

1. 7th class: Introduction to mirrors and Laws of reflection ( foundation )

2. 8th class: Building on previous knowledge, introduction to lenses and Laws of refraction ( expansion )

3. 9th class: Further exploration of related concepts, Dispersion and defects of eyes ( refinement )

This sequential and progressive approach is characteristic of the Concentric Curricular Approach.
