Educational Technology Questions and Answers

Q: 'Learning at one's own pace' is a special feature of

'Learning at one's own pace' is a special feature of the programmed instruction method.In programmed instruction the material is divided into small steps, the learner answers each step and gets immediate feedback, and he or she moves ahead only after mastering a step, so each learner works at his or her own rate.A teacher-centred method sets the pace by the teacher. Learner-centred and activity-centred methods give the learner an active role but do not necessarily let each learner work through a fixed sequence at a personal speed.

Q: Assertion (A) : Important contribution of educational technology is in qualitative and quantitative development of education. Consequences (C) : Goal of universalisation of education can be achieved by educational technology.

Both the Assertion and the Consequence are true.Educational technology improves the quality of education, with better aids and methods, and widens it, since radio, television and distance media reach more learners. Wider reach and better teaching help in achieving the goal of universalisation.The options that call either statement false, or both wrong, deny these accepted roles of educational technology.

Q: Concept of proprioceptive feedback is related with

Proprioceptive feedback is related to cybernetics.Cybernetics is the study of control and communication, in which a system adjusts its action on the basis of feedback about its own results. Proprioceptive feedback is the body's own sense of movement and position, which a learner uses to correct skilled actions.Training psychology, instructional design and system analysis use feedback too, but the term belongs in particular to the cybernetic account of control and learning, which the key chooses.

Q: The use of multimedia approach in teaching learning process is in

All the uses listed are served by the multimedia approach.Combining text, audio, pictures and video helps pupils reach the learning objectives. Learners can work at their own pace on the material, which allows individualised instruction, and the media enrich the instructional material.Since each of the three uses is correct, none of the single options is complete and the answer is the one that covers all.

71.

In 1974-75 NCERT used Radiovision lessons, Television Discussions and Activities to train inservice primary school teachers in Science. This is an example of

A.Integrated Approach
B.Group-oriented Approach
C.Multi-Media Approach
D.Team Teaching Approach

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

This is an example of the multi-media approach. Radiovision lessons, television discussions and activities are different media used together to train in-service teachers, which is what the multi-media approach means. The integrated approach (A) combines subjects or skills, the group-oriented approach (B) works through group tasks, and team teaching (D) means several teachers sharing instruction, so these do not describe the combination of media.

The system analysis relates to

A.Input aspect
B.Product aspect
C.Process aspect
D.Resource aspect

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The key takes the product aspect. In the systems approach to education a system is viewed through its input, process and output, and system analysis, which examines how well the system is doing, is directed at its product, the output measured against the stated objectives. Input (A), process (C) and resource (D) aspects describe what goes into or happens within the system, and the key does not choose them. This item is flagged for a reviewer as the concept is stated loosely.

The use of media either sequentially or simultaneously in a single communication is called as

A.Computer Assisted Instruction
B.Multi-media Instruction
C.Technology Aided Instruction
D.Web Aided Instruction

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Using media sequentially or simultaneously in a single communication is called multi-media instruction.

Multi-media means the combination of several media, such as text, audio, pictures, animation and video, in one presentation, whether they appear one after another or together. The idea is that different media reach learners through different senses and reinforce each other.

Computer assisted instruction is teaching through a computer programme and need not use many media. Technology aided instruction and web aided instruction are wider labels for the use of technology or the internet and do not carry the sense of combining several media in one communication.

The barrier created in communication due to the dual meaning of words is a

A.Semantic barrier to communication
B.Psychological barrier to communication
C.Technological barrier to communication
D.Environmental barrier to communication

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

A barrier in communication caused by the dual meaning of words is a semantic barrier.

Semantics is the study of meaning. When a word has more than one meaning, the receiver may take a meaning different from the sender's, and the message is misunderstood.

A psychological barrier arises from emotions and attitudes, a technological barrier from faulty equipment and an environmental barrier from noise or physical surroundings.

Mathetics Programmed Instruction is based on

A.Connectionism
B.Configuration theories
C.Operant conditioning theory
D.None of the above

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The key takes Mathetics programmed instruction as based on connectionism.

Mathetics, developed by T. F. Gilbert, analyses a subject into chains of stimulus-response links, taught backward from the final step. Building and joining such links is the associationist outlook of connectionism, Thorndike's theory.

Operant conditioning is the basis of Skinner's linear programming, and configuration refers to the Gestalt school, which stresses wholes. The key does not take either of them for Mathetics.

Distance education is not

A.Telemetric teaching
B.Distance study
C.Work oriented education
D.De-schooling

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The key marks work oriented education as what distance education is not.

Distance education is described as teaching at a distance with the help of media (telemetric teaching), as study done by the learner at a distance from the institution, and as a break from the conventional classroom, de-schooling. Those three describe the mode itself.

Work oriented education is a separate idea concerned with the purpose and content of education rather than its mode, so the key takes it as the one that does not describe distance education.
