Feedback Role in Teaching – UGC NET Question

Feedback is the response that travels from receiver back to sender. In the classroom, students’ questions, facial expressions and performance provide the teacher with evidence about how messages are being interpreted. When teachers attend to this feedback, they can clarify misconceptions, change examples, modify pace or revisit topics.

Option A:
Option A stresses that feedback informs the teacher about the effectiveness of communication and guides adaptive teaching, aligning with a responsive, learner-centred approach.

Option B:
Option B suggests increasing teacher talk, but feedback usually reduces monologue and encourages student voice instead of prolonging one-way delivery.

Option C:
Option C equates effectiveness with silence; in reality, silence may hide confusion, whereas active feedback reveals true levels of understanding.

Option D:
Option D assumes feedback removes the need for assessment; while feedback improves learning, formal evaluations are still required to measure achievement systematically.
