Thanks Ms.Sue
You're welcome, Melinda.
To confirm your answer, let's break down the question and the options:
The question is asking about a correct statement regarding exploratory play. Exploratory play refers to a type of play where children engage in discovery, experimentation, and independent exploration.
Option A states that in exploratory play, children assume primary responsibility. This means that children take the lead and are primarily responsible for their own actions and choices during this type of play.
Now, to verify if this statement is correct, let's analyze the other options:
Option B suggests that the responsibility depends on which learning center the activity is set up in. This option implies that the level of responsibility would vary based on the specific learning environment, which contradicts the idea of children assuming primary responsibility consistently in exploratory play.
Option C states that in exploratory play, children and teachers share responsibility equally. This contradicts option A, which says that children assume primary responsibility.
Option D states that in exploratory play, teachers assume primary responsibility. This also contradicts option A, which states that children take on this primary responsibility.
Since option A is the only option that aligns with the concept of exploratory play, and the other options provide conflicting information, your answer of A is correct. In exploratory play, children assume primary responsibility.
