Teaching, training and indoctrination – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and F are correct characterisations of teaching, training and reflective practice. A is true because teaching promotes understanding and wider development, B is true since training often aims at specific job-related skills, and F is true as reflective teaching invites examination of assumptions and values. C is wrong because indoctrination discourages critical examination and expects uncritical acceptance. D is wrong because questioning and debate are essential in higher education, and E is wrong because teaching inevitably conveys values explicitly or implicitly. Therefore the wrong statements are C, D and E only, making this combination correct.

Option A:
Option A identifies only C as wrong, but D and E also misrepresent higher education and the value dimension of teaching. Since it omits these additional wrong statements, C only is not sufficient.

Option B:
Option B lists C and D only, leaving out E, which falsely asserts that teaching is value-neutral. As E is also a wrong statement, C and D only is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C groups C and E as wrong but omits D, ignoring the incorrect claim that questioning and debate should be avoided. Because it does not include all wrong statements, C and E only is not correct.

Option D:
Option D correctly gathers C, D and E, the three statements that conflict with accepted views of teaching, training and indoctrination. It leaves A, B and F as correct, so C, D and E only is the right answer.
