Child Development and Pedagogy · Social Science Pedagogy

During a social science class, Ms. Nandini notices that her students struggle to differentiate between primary and secondary sources of information. To address this, she brings newspapers, old letters, photographs, and textbook excerpts to the classroom. She asks students to work in groups to classify each item, during which students debate, use prior knowledge, compare examples, and construct new understandings through guided interaction. Which pedagogical approach is Ms. Nandini primarily using in this activity?
