BI-a, II-c, III-b
CI-b, II-c, III-a
DI-c, II-a, III-b
Correct answer: (A) I-a, II-b, III-c — By the maxims as the book explains them, the correct match is I-a, II-b, III-c.
Explanation
★By the maxims as the book explains them, the correct match is I-a, II-b, III-c.
★The maxim from whole to part rests on the Gestalt psychologists, who showed that we first perceive the whole object and then its parts.
★The maxim of self-study is based on Dalton's system, which is built on independent study by the learner.
★The maxim of training of senses is credited to Montessori and Fröbel, who treated the five senses as the gateways to knowledge.
★Pairing self-study with Montessori and Fröbel, or sense-training with Dalton, would reverse these proponents and is therefore wrong.
★Hence whole-to-part goes with Gestalt, self-study with Dalton and sense-training with Montessori and Fröbel.
