Which personal side of learning became stronger due to technology in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lesson at the child's level
Technology makes learning more individualised in the story. The mechanical teacher can be adjusted to match Margie’s level and can provide work suited to her progress rather than giving exactly the same lesson to every child in a common classroom. Thus, option B is correct. The system strengthens personalised instruction because the machine responds to the learner’s programmed level and schedule. Option A is incorrect because Margie studies without classmates and therefore has no regular peer discussion. Option C is also weakened, not strengthened, since there is no shared school life in her home-based arrangement. Option D cannot be correct because the story’s machine does not possess the emotional understanding or personal inspiration of a human teacher. The episode shows that technology may support individual pacing while reducing social and motivational dimensions of education.
