NEP and learning outcomes – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 advocates competency-based education, where explicit learning outcomes guide curriculum, classroom processes and assessment so that all three are aligned towards what students should know and be able to do.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because if outcomes are not written and shared, it is difficult to plan teaching and assessment in a coherent way.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it reflects the NEP requirement that learning outcomes be clearly specified and used to design teaching strategies and assessment tools.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since keeping outcomes secret from teachers would make it impossible for them to plan lessons and support learners effectively.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because outcomes in NEP include skills, values and higher-order thinking, not only factual recall.
