UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Two way communication occurs when both parties alternately act as senders and receivers. In the stem the teacher speaks,students respond and ask further questions. Meanings are negotiated through this dialogue. Therefore the classroom interaction is two way communication.

Option A:
One way communication would involve only the teacher talking and students passively listening. That contradicts the reciprocal nature described.

Option B:
Because both teacher and students exchange messages,two way communication is the correct answer.

Option C:
Mass communication uses media to reach large audiences beyond the classroom walls.

Option D:
Mechanical communication is not a standard theoretical label for this process.

Transactional models see communication as a simultaneous,mutual process in which all participants act as senders and receivers at the same time. In a lively class,teachers and students shape each other’s ideas through ongoing interaction. This dynamic fits the transactional model better than one-way models.

Option A:
Linear models assume a simple path from sender to receiver and cannot capture the complex mutual influence described.

Option B:
Transactional views highlight how context and feedback continuously shape messages,making option B correct.

Option C:
One way models describe lectures without interaction,which differs from the highly interactive class mentioned.

Option D:
Gatekeeping relates to control of information flow,usually in mass media,not classroom interaction patterns.
