Question 26 – Cognition and development - Questions

Item A

Siddharth and Elena are designing an interactive mobile application to help young children learn science concepts.

Siddharth: "I want the app to let children experiment freely by dragging and dropping items. When their predicted outcomes don't work out, it will create a conflict in their mind, forcing them to adjust their thinking and create a new mental category for how things work."
Elena: "I think we should have an animated guide that gives hints when a child is stuck, and then disappears as they get better. We should also include an online cooperative multiplayer mode so struggling players can play alongside more skilled peers."
