John Dewey, an American philosopher proposed the concept of 'Progressive Education' which emphasizes that learning takes place only through a 'hands-on' approach so the students must interact with their environment to adapt and learn.

कहानी, हिन्दी में गद्य लेखन की एक विधा है। मनुष्य के जन्म के साथ ही साथ कहानी का भी जन्म हुआ और कहानी कहना तथा सुनना मानव का आदिम स्वभाव बन गया। इसी कारण से प्रत्येक सभ्य तथा असभ्य समाज में कहानियाँ पाई जाती हैं। हमारे देश में कहानियों की बड़ी लंबी और सम्पन्न परंपरा रही है।

• कहानी किसी सच या काल्पनिक घटना के बारे में बताती है। इसे इस तरह से बताया जाता है कि श्रोता अनुभव करे और कुछ सीखे। यह हिंदी भाषा का वो अभिन्न हिस्सा है जो बच्चों में एक साथ श्रवण और वाचन कौशल दोनो को विस्तार देता है।
• कहानियाँ शिक्षण-अधिगम प्रक्रिया के प्रभावी उपकरण हैं। शिक्षार्थी के पठन विकल्पों को व्यापक बनाने के लिए उन्हें शिक्षण की एक विधि के रूप में भी उपयोग किया जाता है। छोटे बच्चे कहानी सुनने में काफी रुचि रखते हैं और यह उनकी तार्किक क्षमता को सही दिशा देती है।

दूसरों की हस्तलिखित सामग्री, पत्र आदि पढ़वाना भाषा की कक्षा में कम प्रभावी शिक्षण है ।

सभी छात्रों में अधिगम की क्षमता भिन्न-भिन्न होती है। अधिगम शब्द का आशय सीखने से है अर्थात सामान्य भाषा में अधिगम की क्षमता का तात्पर्य सीखने क्षमता अथवा योग्यता से है। एक वर्ग के सभी विद्यार्थियों में सीखने की क्षमता अलग-अलग होती है क्योंकि वे अलग परिवेश से होते हैं एवं सभी का मानसिक स्तर भी भिन्न होता है।
अतः, इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर विकल्प A है।

त्रिभाषा-सूत्र भारत में भाषा शिक्षण से सम्बन्धित नीति है जो भारत सरकार द्वारा राज्यों से विचार-विमर्श करके बनायी गयी है। त्रिभाषा सूत्र में हिन्दी का स्थान राजभाषा के रूप में है। इसके अनुसार देवनागरी लिपि में लिखी और मूलत: संस्कृत से अपनी पारिभाषिक शब्दावली को लेने वाली हिन्दी भारतीय संघ की राजभाषा है। 

• यह शिक्षक केन्द्रित उपागम है जो सीखने की प्रक्रिया में सीखने वाले की सक्रिय भागीदारी पर बल नहीं देता है। शिक्षक लेखन से पहले लेखन के नियम बताता है।
• परिणामवादी अधिगम शैली एक दृष्टिकोण है जो छात्रों के अंतिम उत्पादन पर ध्यान केंद्रित करता है, अर्थात, वह पाठ जो उन्हें तैयार करने के लिए कहा जाता है।
• इसके पहले चरण में छात्रों को उस शैली के मॉडल पाठ से परिचित कराना शामिल है जिसे वे बनाने वाले हैं।
• परिणामवादी अधिगम शैली में बालको को संप्रेषण के नियमों के बारे में जानकारी दी जाती है। इस प्रकार के संप्रेषण के कुछ उदाहरण निम्न हैं-
  • ई-मेल;
  • औपचारिक पत्र;
  • रिपोर्ट;
  • सीवी और कवर लेटर;
  • पोस्टकार्ड;
  • व्यंजनों;
  • व्यक्तिगत बयान।

अतः यह निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि अध्यापक द्वारा लेखन के नियमों का बताया जाना लेखन के परिणामवादी संप्रेषण के लिए सत्य है।

पाठ पढ़ने से पूर्व शिक्षक छात्रों की रूचि के आधार पर पाठ को विभिन्न भागो में विभाजित करता है, यह चयन का सिद्धांत है।  प्राकृतिक चयन का सिद्धांत इसकी व्याख्या कर सकता है कि पर्यावरण किस प्रकार प्रजातियों और जनसंख्या के विकास को प्रभावित करता है ताकि वो सबसे उपयुक्त लक्षणों का चयन कर सकें। विद्यालय में जो पाठ पढ़ाई जाती है उनका पहले विभाजन किया जाता है ताकि बच्चे अपनी रूचि से उसे समझ सके।
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

Comprehension is the most necessary academic activity in reading and academic discourse. It is one of the most important skills in language teaching.

The two skills required to take notes effectively are using symbols and abbreviations instead of words.

Visual memory is a form of memory that describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the storage, encoding and retrieval of the resulting representations. It is a memory that preserves some characteristics of our senses pertaining to a visual experience. If a child is facing a problem of visual memory it will create difficulty in retaining Mathematical facts and difficulty in telling time. 
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Difficulty in retaining Mathematical facts and difficulty in telling time.'

From the given information:
Number of thousands = 19
Number of hundreds = 19
Number of ones = 19
We know that the place value of hundred changes after ten hundreds.
So, we can write the 19 hundreds = 1 thousand + 9 hundreds
The total value of given numbers in words = 19000+1000+900+19 = 20919.
