Components of classroom communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C are correct, while D is incorrect. A is true because the cognitive component emphasises how learners think about and make sense of information. B is true since affective aspects such as interest, anxiety and attitude shape how messages are received. C is true because psychomotor elements relate to physical performance of tasks based on communicated instructions. D is false because effective teaching should integrate cognitive, affective and psychomotor dimensions rather than focusing on cognition alone.

Option A:
Option A presents A and B only and omits C, thereby ignoring the role of psychomotor action in classroom tasks such as experiments or demonstrations. As C is also a correct statement, A and B only does not represent the full set of correct components. Hence this option is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B combines B and C but leaves out A, failing to acknowledge the central role of understanding and processing information in classroom communication. While B and C are correct, excluding A makes the description of components partial. Therefore B and C only cannot be the correct answer.

Option C:
Option C includes A, B and C, accurately summarising cognitive, affective and psychomotor components and rejecting the narrow view in D. By bringing together all the true statements and excluding the false one, A, B and C only is the correct option.

Option D:
Option D treats all four statements as correct, but D wrongly claims that effective communication can ignore affective and psychomotor aspects. Since D contradicts holistic views of learning, including it invalidates the combination. Thus this option is not acceptable.
