Teaching–learning materials – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C and F accurately describe principles for using teaching–learning materials. A is true because materials must support stated objectives. B is true since cost and availability affect what can realistically be used. C is true as materials should match learners’ age and cognitive level, and F is true because resources can be designed for both individual and group use. D and E are false because attractiveness cannot replace accuracy and local resources are often valuable; thus A, B, C and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A lists A, B and C but omits F, ignoring the fact that teaching–learning materials can be structured to support both solitary and collaborative work. As this is an important practical consideration, A, B and C only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B combines A, C and F, but leaves out B and therefore overlooks feasibility factors like cost and availability, which are crucial when selecting materials. Consequently A, C and F only is not a fully adequate description.

Option C:
Option C includes A, B, C and F, integrating instructional relevance, practical constraints, developmental appropriateness and modes of use while excluding D and E, which misrepresent quality and local resources. Hence A, B, C and F only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D assembles B, D and F, but D wrongly claims that visual appeal alone makes a material suitable even if content is inaccurate. Because this undermines the importance of correctness, B, D and F only cannot be accepted.
