UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Non verbal communication includes all forms of conveying meaning without words,such as facial expressions,gestures and eye contact. Friendly eye contact signals attention,interest and warmth. In a classroom,this non verbal behaviour can encourage participation and trust. Therefore,the teacher is primarily using non verbal communication.

Option A:
Written communication relies on printed or typed words and does not involve direct eye contact as a code. Thus it cannot describe the behaviour in the stem.

Option B:
Mass communication involves reaching large audiences through media like TV or radio,not direct face to face eye contact in a single classroom.

Option C:
Mechanical communication would refer to use of machines or devices,rather than human eye behaviour.

Option D:
Non verbal cues like eye contact often reinforce verbal messages and help manage classroom climate,making option D the correct one.

Oculesics deals with how eye movements,gaze and eye contact communicate messages. Teachers use eye contact to hold attention,encourage participation and show inclusion. The stem refers directly to eye contact,so oculesics is the right term.

Option A:
Kinesics covers overall body movement but does not focus exclusively on eye behaviour.

Option B:
Haptics concerns touch rather than visual contact.

Option C:
Oculesics specifically studies gaze and eye contact,so this option best matches the behaviour described.

Option D:
Chronemics is about use of time in communication,not eye behaviour.
