Frobel's most important contribution to education was his development of the kindergarten. Frobel's method inspired and informed the work of Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner and others, who adopted his ideas and adapted his materials according to their own work.

This strategy might not work in the long run since this might lead to children reading only for getting the certificates.

The Cephalocaudal Principle states that development proceeds from top to bottom. According to this principle, a child will gain physical control of their head first. After this, physical control will move downward to the arms and lastly to the legs.

Aspiration is an example of intrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic Motivation:
An intrinsically motivated activity will always be rewarded due to the direct relationship between the activity and the goal. This secures a continuous motivation to do the activity.
Intrinsic motivation is internal. It occurs when people are compelled to do something out of pleasure, importance, or aspiration.
So, it does not require an external push, unlike extrinsic motivation which requires an external motivating factor. So intrinsic motivation is more beneficial.
Extrinsic  Motivation:
When an activity is performed to accomplish the goal of an external reward, the person is said to be extrinsically motivated.
Extrinsic motivation occurs when external factors compel the person to do something.
This is motivation based on external rewards and has nothing to do with the activity directly. The Behaviourists' approach to motivation mainly focuses on the external rewards of reinforcement and punishment.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that aspiration is an example of intrinsic motivation.

- Assertion is correct as heuristic problem-solving involves self-learning to tackle problems.

- Reason is incorrect as step-based problem-solving uses rules, not heuristic learning.

- The Reason is false, so it doesn't provide a correct explanation for the Assertion.
