Question

The term "heuristic" is derived from a Greek word meaning:

• A. To discover or find out
• B. To teach or instruct
• C. To analyze or interpret
• D. To guide or direct

Answer 1

Answer:

A. To discover or find out

• In the heuristic method, the focus is on self-discovery, exploration, and independent problem-solving.

• The teacher’s role is minimal—they set the problem but do not provide solutions, allowing students to learn by doing and thinking for themselves.
