QUESTION 55) In Tracey's school the traditional African cognitive approach of intuitive rationality underpins the manner in which students are taught, while in Thandeka's school the Western emphasis on the logical and rational aspects of cognition are emphasised Based on your appreciation of the accuracy and/or inaccuracy of the following statements, select the most correct alternative/s below (a) The syllabus at Thandeka's school is more demanding than at Tracey's school, as the rational approach of Western cognition requires more concentration than the intuitive functioning of traditional African cognition (b) The approach favoured in Thandeka's school is associated with Pascal's view on the 'logic of the heart'. while the approach favoured in Tracey's school is associated with Descartes' 'logic of reason' (c) The approach to cognitive functioning favoured in Tracey's school allows for an understanding of the wholeness of a reality (d) The approach favoured by each school clearly expresses the accepted fact that all Africans are without reason and all Westerners' without emotion in their cognitive functioning
The correct alternative is option a
The Syllabus at Thandeka's school is more demanding than the one at Tracy's school, as Western cognition's rational approach requires core concentration than the traditional African cognition).
Step-by-step explanation
The second option is wrong because Thandeka's school correlates to Descartes' thinking on the "Logic of reason." Tracy's school is correlated with pascal's thought on "the logic of the heart." The only way the second option would have been correct is if the two schools had been interchanged.
The third option is wrong because skin color does not determine an individual's ability to reason. This option appears to suggest that reasoning depends on skin color.
The core concentration required in the western cognition approach is due to the fact this technique aims to make learners discover new things. The only way through which new ideas can be discovered is through concentration. Typically concentration an individual to notice unique concepts.
