Which learning strategy involves children teaching others what they have…

In pedagogy, instructional strategies differ in who holds the explaining role during a lesson: in some strategies the teacher retains that role, while in others it is deliberately handed over to the learners themselves. A family of peer-mediated strategies operationalises this hand-over through structured turn-taking and dialogue moves—predicting, questioning, clarifying, summarising—so that a learner consolidates her own understanding precisely by having to communicate it to a peer.

The stem asks for the strategy where children teach others what they themselves have learned. That description matches reciprocal teaching, in which students take turns leading a discussion for one another using exactly those moves, confirmed as the answer by the CTET official key for this item.

• Conditioned learning forms a stimulus-response link through repeated pairing (as in classical or operant conditioning); it explains how a behaviour is acquired, not how understood material is passed on through peer explanation.

• Rote learning is retention of information through repetition and memorisation; it concerns how information is stored, not how one learner communicates it to another.

• Expository teaching keeps the explaining role with the teacher, who presents and organises the content directly for the class.
