UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The guidance role of a teacher involves supporting students in academic,personal and social adjustment. This can include advising on study strategies,helping them cope with stress or directing them to appropriate support services. The stem specifically mentions assisting with academic and social adjustment,which is a clear example of guidance.

Option A:
Evaluative role focuses on assessing student learning through tests,assignments and grading,which is different from helping them adjust to college life.

Option B:
Guidance requires empathetic listening,information sharing and referral,helping students make informed decisions and adapt to new environments. Because the stem emphasises adjustment support,guidance is the most appropriate term.

Option C:
Custodial role refers to supervision and care to ensure safety and discipline,not necessarily deeper academic or social counselling.

Option D:
Authoritarian role is characterised by strict control and demands for obedience,not by supportive adjustment help.
