Child-centered physical education differs from which older approach?

Correct answer: Same command-based teaching for all

The governing concept is learner-centered teaching. Child-centered physical education adjusts activities to learners’ abilities, interests, developmental levels and individual needs; it encourages participation, choice, feedback and meaningful learning. The older approach represented by option C applies the same commands and expectations to everyone, often treating learners as passive followers rather than active participants. Therefore option C is correct. Option A is a feature of child-centered practice because tasks can be adapted to ability. Option B is also compatible with the approach because it supports participation by different learners. Option D remains important in both traditional and modern teaching, so it does not identify the contrasting older method.
