Blended learning approaches – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and F are correct representations of blended learning. A is true because blended courses integrate both in-person and online elements. B is true since online parts often support preparation or follow-up. D is true as alignment between modes ensures coherence rather than fragmentation. F is true because blending allows learners some flexibility in when and where they engage with content. C and E are false because classroom interaction remains important and pedagogy should drive technology use; thus A, B, D and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and D but omits F, and therefore does not mention one of the key benefits of blended learning, namely flexibility of time and place. As F is also correct, A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups A, D and F but leaves out B, ignoring the common use of online components for pre-class and post-class activities such as readings or quizzes. Consequently A, D and F only cannot be regarded as complete.

Option C:
Option C combines B, D and F but omits A, failing to state explicitly that blended learning involves both online and face-to-face modes. Without that defining statement, B, D and F only is not fully accurate.

Option D:
Option D assembles A, B, D and F, capturing definition, usage, pedagogical alignment and flexibility, while excluding C and E, which marginalise interaction and overvalue technology. Therefore A, B, D and F only is the correct answer.
