To teach her students about the conditions required for photosynthesis to take place in plants, a class 8 teacher began by defining the process of photosynthesis and then listing the various factors required for photosynthesis viz. sunlight, water and air. She then engaged her students in a group project in which they themselves verified the importance of each factor over the next few days. How would you evaluate this strategy from the point of view of inquiry-oriented pedagogy.

Correct option is D

Inquiry-oriented pedagogy emphasizes active student engagement, critical thinking, and exploration of concepts through investigation.
In this strategy, the teacher started by defining the process of photosynthesis and listing the factors required for photosynthesis, providing a conceptual framework for the students. This approach allows students to develop an understanding of the topic before engaging in the group project.
