UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Participation means that learners actively contribute ideas,discuss,perform roles and collaborate in tasks. Activities like role plays and group problem solving require students to engage cognitively and socially rather than remain silent. The stem clearly indicates this goal,so it is designed to increase participation.

Option A:
Passivity refers to learners being inactive or only listening,which these methods are explicitly meant to reduce.

Option B:
Participation implies engagement through speaking,collaborating and contributing ideas,which are central to group discussions and role plays,so this option fits well.

Option C:
Isolation would separate students from each other,whereas the activities described depend on interaction.

Option D:
Absenteeism concerns not attending class and is influenced by broader factors,not just classroom activities.
