UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C accurately capture features of different teaching modes: blended learning integrates online and face-to-face elements, online teaching should include interaction and feedback, and face-to-face teaching uses multiple communication channels. Statement E is also true because teachers must adjust strategies while keeping learning outcomes central in any mode. Statement D is false because in good blended design, online materials complement rather than merely duplicate classroom lectures. Therefore, A, B, C and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A brings together A, B, C and E, all of which reflect current thinking on blended and online teaching. It excludes D, which misrepresents blending as simple duplication. As it contains all and only the true statements, this option is correct.

Option B:
Option B includes A, B and C but omits E, failing to highlight the need for teachers to adapt roles across different teaching modes. This makes the description incomplete.

Option C:
Option C lists A, C and E but leaves out B, even though interaction and feedback are crucial in online teaching. Without B, the portrayal of online learning is inadequate.

Option D:
Option D groups B, C and E but drops A, so the defining idea of intentional integration in blended learning is missing. Hence B, C and E only cannot be accepted as a full description.

Option E includes all five statements and thus accepts D, which incorrectly suggests that duplication is the essence of blended learning. Including this false statement makes A, B, C, D and E only an invalid option.
