The correct answer is

Memory level teaching

Teaching is commonly described at three levels: memory, understanding and reflective. Herbart and Morrison are linked with these ideas, with the memory level being the lowest and most mechanical stage, where the aim is simply to store facts in the mind and reproduce them accurately when needed.

At the memory level the teacher dominates and the student plays a passive role. Drill, repetition, rote practice and extrinsic rewards such as marks, praise or prizes are the main tools, because they strengthen the recall and retention of factual information without demanding insight. This matches the description in the statement exactly.

The understanding level aims at grasping relationships, principles and generalisations, and the reflective level aims at problem solving and critical thinking driven by intrinsic motivation. Identification level is not one of the standard levels of teaching. Only the memory level relies on drill, repetition and external rewards for factual recall.

Hence, Memory level teaching.
