A teacher uses a research article with rich data, as a resource to teach students about India's relations with other nations. However, during the class, the teacher and students come across a paragraph that paints a neighboring country in a strongly negative light.
Which of the following is the most responsible approach for the Social Science teacher?
1
Tell students that you were not aware of these paragraphs and they should only use their textbook for learning various topics.
2
Switch to another, less useful, source instead, to continue the class. Discussing the controversy would only waste time.
3
Analyse the paragraph along with students, where they can discuss and debate the assumptions made or data given about the country.
4
Continue reading the article as it is, since the students in your class are all from India and it should not hurt their sentiments.
