Learner centred instructional strategies – UGC NET Question

Statements A, C and D correctly describe learner-centred strategies. A is true because such approaches emphasise students’ active involvement instead of passive reception. C is true since group work, projects and problem-solving tasks create opportunities for collaboration, inquiry and self-direction. D is true as learner-centred teaching demands attention to varied abilities, interests and learning styles. B is false because absolute teacher control and suppression of student choice contradict learner-centred principles, and E is false because, with careful planning, aspects of learner-centred teaching can be implemented even in large classes. Hence A, C and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A contains A, C and D and correctly excludes B and E. Therefore A, C and D only is the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B lists A and C but excludes D, which is also true. Thus A and C only is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C includes C and D but omits A, so it is incomplete.

Option D:
Option D includes B (false), so A, B, C and D only is not valid.

Option E includes E (false), so A, C, D and E only cannot be correct.
