UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Classroom communication operates at several levels at the same time: teacher addressing the class,teacher interacting with individuals and students talking among themselves. When these interactions occur together,the communication is multilevel. The stem highlights this simultaneous involvement of teacher and different student groupings,so multilevel is the best descriptor.

Option A:
Multilevel communication recognises that messages flow vertically and horizontally within the classroom,creating a complex network. This matches the situation described,making option A correct.

Option B:
Intrapersonal communication is confined within one person’s mind and cannot account for the many interactions present in a class.

Option C:
Dyadic communication refers specifically to interaction between two people,which is only one part of classroom communication.

Option D:
Mass communication is addressed to a large,anonymous audience through media,not to a specific group of students interacting with a teacher and peers.
