CBoth rote learning and memorization ✓ Correct
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Both rote learning and memorization — A heavy emphasis on measurable outcomes leads to both rote learning and memorization, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A heavy emphasis on measurable outcomes leads to both rote learning and memorization, so that is the answer.
★When only what can be measured is valued, teaching narrows to what tests can easily check.
★So learners fall back on rote learning, repeating material without real understanding.
★They also lean on memorization, storing facts just to reproduce them in the test.
★Both of these follow directly from prizing measurable outcomes above understanding.
★Since the emphasis produces both effects, the answer covers rote learning and memorization together.
