wrong answer
the answer is b),I am very soure.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concepts mentioned in the options and how they relate to Leon's ideas about teaching methods.
A) The nature-nurture controversy refers to the debate concerning the influence of genetics (nature) versus the environment (nurture) on human development. While Leon's ideas may indirectly touch upon this controversy, it is not the primary focus of his ideas about teaching methods.
B) The active-passive controversy relates to the degree to which individuals actively shape their own development versus being passive recipients of influences from their environment. Leon's belief in children's innate curiosity suggests that he sees them as active participants in their own learning process. Therefore, this controversy aligns well with his ideas, making it the most suitable choice.
C) The continuity-discontinuity controversy refers to the debate on whether development is a smooth and gradual process (continuity) or a series of distinct, stage-like changes (discontinuity). While Leon's ideas may have implications for this controversy, it is not directly related to his beliefs about teaching methods.
D) The behavioral-cognitive controversy focuses on the relative importance of observable behavior and internal mental processes in explaining human development. Although Leon's ideas may involve both behavior and cognitive aspects, this controversy is not directly addressed in the statement.
Based on the above explanations, the most appropriate answer would be B) active-passive controversy.
