Roles of a modern teacher – UGC NET Question

Statements A and C correctly describe expanded roles of a modern teacher as facilitator, counsellor, guide and motivator. Statement B is wrong because the teacher's role is not confined to merely finishing the syllabus; it also involves designing learning experiences and supporting holistic development. Statement D is also wrong as collaborative learning still requires active teacher planning, monitoring and scaffolding, not total non involvement. Thus the wrong statements are B and D, making the combination B and D only the correct answer.

Option A:
Option A isolates B as the only wrong statement and ignores the fact that D also misrepresents the teacher's role in collaborative learning. While B is indeed incorrect, leaving out D makes the set of wrong statements incomplete. Therefore B only cannot be accepted as the correct option.

Option B:
Option B correctly brings together B and D, both of which conflict with current views of the teacher's role. It acknowledges that the teacher goes beyond syllabus completion and remains actively involved even in collaborative settings. Since A and C are accurate descriptions of modern teacher roles, excluding them from the wrong set is appropriate, and B and D only is the correct answer.

Option C:
Option C combines A, B and C and treats them all as wrong, but A and C positively reflect contemporary understandings of teaching as facilitation and guidance. Only B is actually wrong, and D, another wrong statement, is missing from this combination. Because it mislabels true statements and omits one of the false ones, A, B and C only cannot be correct.

Option D:
Option D lists all four statements A, B, C and D as wrong, which again misclassifies A and C that accurately describe modern teacher roles. It also fails to distinguish between realistic and unrealistic representations of teacher responsibilities. Consequently A, B, C and D only is not the right answer.
