Margie studying alone in a room shows which structural problem of technological education?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Weakening of the social environment of learning

In the story, Margie studies alone in a room with a mechanical teacher. She has no classmates, shared classroom, or opportunities to learn with others; therefore, the situation highlights the weakening of the social environment of learning. Option D is incorrect because education has not ended; it has become individualised and machine-based. Exam tip: connect Margie and Tommy's curiosity about old schools with the idea of social learning.
