Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
Situated learning holds that knowledge is embedded in the authentic activity, context, and culture in which it is learned, so transfer to a different setting may be difficult. Assisted or scaffolded learning provides temporary strategic support and gradually withdraws that support as the learner becomes independent.
APPLICATION
Statement I describes strategic help that is gradually reduced as independence grows. That is the defining pattern of assisted or scaffolded learning, not situated learning; therefore Statement I is false.
Statement II describes knowledge and skills as tied to their learning context and difficult to transfer to a new setting. That is the defining idea of situated learning, not assisted learning; therefore Statement II is false.
CONTRAST
“Both Statement I and Statement II are true” keeps both concept labels reversed.
“Both Statement I and Statement II are false” recognizes that each statement carries the other concept’s definition.
“Statement I is true but Statement II is false” retains the first reversed label.
“Statement I is false but Statement II is true” retains the second reversed label.
RESULT
Hence, both Statement I and Statement II are false.
