UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C, D and F correctly apply the systems approach to teaching. A is true because teaching can be analysed in terms of inputs, processes and outputs. B is true as learner characteristics and resources enter the system as inputs. C is true since classroom activities represent the process, D is true because outcomes and feedback appear as outputs, and F is true as the systems view aids planning, organisation and control. E is false because feedback is crucial for modifying inputs and processes in future cycles; therefore A, B, C, D and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes all the true statements and excludes only E, which wrongly denies the role of feedback. It therefore presents a complete and correct picture of teaching as a system.

Option B:
Option B lists A, B and C, omitting D and F, and so ignores the role of outputs and the benefits of the systems approach for management. This omission makes A, B and C only incomplete.

Option C:
Option C introduces E along with A, C and D, but E is false in claiming feedback has no role in modification. Including E invalidates A, C, D and E only as a correct set.

Option D:
Option D combines B, C, D, E and F but still retains E, again contradicting the principle of feedback, so B, C, D, E and F only cannot be accepted.

Statements A, B, C and F are consistent with a systems approach to teaching. A is true because systems models identify inputs, processes, outputs and feedback. B is true since learners, content and resources are typical inputs. C is true as evaluation results feed back into future planning, and F is true because systematic analysis reveals where teaching may be inefficient. D and E are false because ignoring feedback and environment contradicts the essence of system thinking; hence A, B, C and F only is correct.

Option A:
Option A combines A, B and C but omits F, and therefore fails to state how systems analysis is used to improve teaching efficiency. Because F is also an accurate statement, A, B and C only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups A, C and F but leaves out B, which concretely identifies examples of input variables. Without this, the picture of inputs is vague, so A, C and F only is not fully satisfactory.

Option C:
Option C includes A, B, C and F, presenting the structure of the system, examples of inputs, the role of feedback and the use of analysis for improvement, while excluding D and E, which contradict feedback and environmental sensitivity. This makes A, B, C and F only the correct option.

Option D:
Option D collects B, D, E and F, but D and E deny feedback utilisation and environmental consideration, both of which are central to systems thinking. Their inclusion renders B, D, E and F only an incorrect combination.
