UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Team teaching involves a group of teachers sharing responsibility for planning,delivering and assessing instruction for a common set of learners. They coordinate their efforts,divide content and sometimes co-teach sessions. This arrangement allows students to benefit from the combined expertise of multiple teachers. Therefore,the method described in the stem is team teaching.

Option A:
Peer tutoring occurs when one student helps another learn,usually with guidance from the teacher but not with multiple teachers sharing teaching roles. It is learner–learner rather than teacher–teacher collaboration.

Option B:
Team teaching enables flexibility in grouping,integrated learning across subjects and professional support among teachers. Because the stem refers to teachers jointly planning,teaching and evaluating,the term team teaching accurately captures the method.

Option C:
Micro-teaching is a scaled-down practice of specific teaching skills with a small group of students and short lessons; it does not necessarily involve multiple teachers teaching the same class.

Option D:
A seminar is a teaching method where participants present and discuss papers on a theme,usually under a single teacher’s guidance. It is not defined by multiple teachers sharing the same class.
