Which term refers to creating or setting up a teaching opportunity during naturalistic teaching?

• A. Capturing
• B. Incidental Teaching
• C. Contriving
• D. Naturalistic teaching

Answer: (C)

Creating or setting up a teaching moment within a naturalistic context is called contriving. It means the teacher arranges the environment, materials, or prompts so a specific response is likely to occur while the activity remains part of the child's natural day. This deliberate setup helps target a skill within real-life learning moments. This differs from capturing, which relies on a moment that appears spontaneously without prior setup. Incidental teaching involves capitalizing on the learner’s current interests or initiations within a natural activity, often with prompts after the moment begins, rather than prearranging a moment. Naturalistic teaching is the overall approach of teaching in the learner’s everyday environment; contriving is the action of creating a teachable opportunity inside that framework.
