Solution:

Learning is a continuous life-long process that is not inherited but can begin right from birth by providing constant interaction and stimulation received from the physical, social, and cultural environment and it does not stop till the end.Discovery learning: Discovery learning is the type of learning in which students can learn by finding the correct approach for the problem through their cognition.Example: Finding the types of plants while going on a visit. Characteristics of Discovery learning:Discovery learning helps students to think critically.Children learn through observing things and then make a synthesis about the problem.It is based on child-centered learning instead of teacher-centered.Discovery learning helps to make commands of the problem conceptually.Discovery learning improves the skills of the students and makes their thinking divergent.It de-emphasis rote learning or learning based on memorization.Discovery learning is mostly based on activities, experiments, and critical thinking based which also encourages the interest in learning in students under the guidance of the teacher or facilitator.No direct instruction is given to the students by the teachers in discovery learning, students can learn by making guesses or concepts through their cognition.So by all these references, we can conclude that discovery learning facilitates self-directed experimentation with requisite guidance.?Hint?Discovery learning never promotes the lecture method, it is a logical method, and children can find the solution to the problem by searching, analyzing, etc.?Textbooks are promoted in discovery learning, it de-emphasizes the textbooks.In discovery learning, students should have to work under the guidance of the teachers they can not work without any guidance.
