If taught on memory level of teaching, the students get tremendous power for acquisition of .................. . (i) factual information (ii) generalized insight (iii) problem solving abilities
Only (i)
Teaching proceeds at three levels: the memory level (associated with Herbart), the understanding level (Morrison) and the reflective level (Hunt). Each level develops a different kind of learning outcome, and the memory level is the lowest and most mechanical of the three.
At the memory level the teacher presents material to be retained and reproduced: names, dates, definitions, formulae and other factual information. Drill, repetition and recall dominate, so the learner gains strong power to acquire and store facts, which is statement (i).
Generalized insight, statement (ii), is the product of the understanding level, where learners see relationships between facts and principles. Problem solving abilities, statement (iii), belong to the reflective level, where learners analyse, hypothesise and test. Any choice that includes (ii) or (iii), whether alone or combined with (i), credits memory-level teaching with outcomes it does not produce.
Only (i) option is correct.
