Teaching as a system model – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C correctly present teaching as a system with inputs, processes and outputs and recognise the role of feedback in adjusting teaching. Statement E is also true because classroom environment and interaction patterns are central elements of the process component. Statement D is false since outputs are expected to reflect the achievement of stated instructional objectives, and F is false because feedback should inform modifications to the teaching process. Therefore, the correct set of statements is A, B, C and E only, making option C the right answer.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and C, which are correct, but omits E, a true statement about the role of classroom environment and interaction patterns in the process. Since E is also correct, its exclusion makes the combination incomplete. Hence A, B and C only cannot be the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B groups A, C and E as correct, but leaves out B, even though B accurately identifies learner characteristics, teacher competence and resources as important inputs. Without B, the description of inputs is incomplete. Therefore A, C and E only is not adequate.

Option C:
Option C brings together A, B, C and E, all of which correctly describe critical components of the teaching system, including inputs, processes, outputs and feedback. It excludes D and F, both of which contradict the idea of aligning outputs with objectives and using feedback for improvement. Because it contains all and only the true statements, A, B, C and E only is the correct option.

Option D:
Option D includes B, C, D and E but also contains D, which wrongly claims that outputs are unrelated to objectives. This conflicts with the idea that outputs indicate the level of objective achievement. Consequently B, C, D and E only mixes true and false statements and cannot be accepted.

Option E selects A, D, E and F, but both D and F are false statements that undermine the importance of objectives and adaptability in a system. Although A and E are true, the presence of these incorrect claims invalidates the combination. Thus A, D, E and F only is not the right answer.

Option F groups C, E and F, but F is a false statement suggesting that feedback should not lead to changes, which contradicts the very purpose of feedback in a system. Additionally, this set omits A and B, which define the system structure and inputs. Therefore C, E and F only cannot be considered correct.
