,Question 1
1.1 Explain to a novice educator what a one-size-fits-all approach means in
teaching. [5]
A one-size-fits-all approach in teaching refers to a standardized method where the
same teaching strategies, materials, and assessments are applied to all students,
regardless of their individual needs, abilities, and learning styles. This approach
assumes that all students learn in the same way and at the same pace, often
neglecting the diversity of learners in a classroom. It does not take into account
the unique backgrounds, strengths, and challenges of each student, leading to a
lack of personalized instruction and support.

1.2 Why have some researchers questioned the effectiveness of a one-size-fits-all
approach for image descriptions, particularly for people who are blind or visually
impaired (BLV)? Provide specific reasons mentioned in the passage to support
your answer. [5]
Researchers have questioned the effectiveness of a one-size-fits-all approach for
image descriptions for people who are blind or visually impaired (BLV) for several
reasons:
Lack of Personalization: This approach does not account for the individual
preferences and needs of BLV users. What might be a useful description
for one person might not be useful for another.
Contextual Relevance: A one-size-fits-all description may not provide the
relevant context needed for BLV users to fully understand and interpret the
image.
