B.

C.

D.
Encouraging children to sit and learn with peers.

Solution:

Learning is a comprehensive process that refers to a change in behavior, knowledge, and skill as a result of practice and experience.Learning is an active process that takes into account the information children learn outside of school.Effective strategies to support children's learning in the classroom:Helping students develop concept maps: Concepts maps include graphical and diagrammatical representations to illustrate the meaningful acquisition of various sub-topics of a concept. It helps the learners to draw an outline of the topic/concept or briefly explain the concept or to link any two concepts of any subject by summarizing it. Teaching students the use of mnemonics and chunking:Mnemonics is a method or technique of enhancing memory. Chunking is the process of remembering a large number in a group of smaller numbers that are easy to remember.For example, it helps children memorize phone numbers by dividing 10 digits of phone numbers into 3 - 4 smaller units and then the remainder.Encouraging children to sit and learn with peers:Peer relations are those which a child makes outside of his family such as friends and classmates. If the peer group of the child is motivated then the child will also display interest in learning.When children sit and learn with peers in a group, the bright children who have gained mastery over some concepts in a subject may act as tutors and teach the other children in the group.Hence, it is clear that asking students to passively copy the solution of question is NOT an effective strategy to support children's learning in the classroom rather it will hinder learning by making leaner a passive recipient of knowledge.
