Effective Classroom Communication Questions and Answers

1.

To select media to teach a lesson to class, teacher should consider objectives of the lesson, age group of students, knowledge about media to be used and :

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2019, SET Exam - 2019,

Answer: D

The key gives evaluation system as the fourth factor.

What could not be confirmed: no standard source found lists these exact four factors in this order. General guides on choosing instructional media name the lesson objectives, the learners' age and level, the teacher's familiarity with the media, cost and availability, so the key's fourth factor is not from a source that could be checked. The question is kept with the University's key.

'Mass media' is a type of medium and not a factor in choosing a medium. 'Teaching methods' and 'teaching aids' are also tied to the choice, so the key's pick is the weaker side of the question.

What is one of the following most important factors to become communication effective ?

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: D

The answer is immediate feedback.

Feedback is the receiver's response to the message. It tells the sender whether the message was received and understood as intended, and lets him correct misunderstanding at once. Immediate feedback turns one-way transmission into a two-way process, which is why it is treated as the key to effective communication, for example in face-to-face teaching.

Media, message and sender are all necessary elements, but without feedback the sender cannot know whether the communication has worked.

3.

Which of the following elements is facilitated much more in a communicative situation wherein teacher and students are sitting together in a circular manner facing each other ?

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2024, SET Exam - 2024,

Answer: D

A circular seating arrangement most facilitates the level of interactions between the students.

When everyone sits in a circle facing one another, each student can see and address every other directly, and the teacher becomes one participant rather than the focal point at the front. This encourages discussion among the students themselves.

The arrangement does not by itself improve the content, and it reduces rather than increases the teacher's position of control; discipline is also not its purpose.

Instance 1 : A teacher is giving a lecture in a class of 10 students.
Instance 2 : A teacher is giving a lecture in a class of 100 students.

Assuming all the intervening variables to be the same in both the instances, which of the following is the most likely possibility from the perspective of communication ?

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2025, SET Exam - 2025,

Answer: B

Interactivity of students with teacher will be higher in Instance 1 than Instance 2.

With everything else equal, a class of 10 gives each student far more opportunity to ask questions, respond and receive individual attention than a class of 100. Communication in the small class can be two-way; in the large class it tends to become one-way, from the teacher to a mass audience.

So interactivity is not higher in the larger class, not the same in both, and not unaffected by class size.

Classroom communication of a teacher rests on the principle of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Classroom communication works on the principle of edutainment, a blend of education and entertainment, in which the teacher keeps learners engaged and interested while teaching. Infotainment mixes information and entertainment, as in news programmes, and entertainment alone does not meet the aim of teaching. 'Power equation' describes authority relations, not a principle of communication. The answer is edutainment. Edutainment is the term used when learning material is designed to hold attention with story, humour, games or media, which is the sense in which a teacher's communication is meant to be engaging.

Classroom communication must be

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Classroom communication must be student centric, with the teacher listening, questioning and responding to learners so that they take part actively. A teacher-centred or textbook-centred classroom makes students passive recipients, and a 'general-centric' classroom has no focus on the learner. The answer is student centric. A student-centred approach also gives room to questions, group work and feedback, which a teacher-centred lecture does not.

Interaction inside the classroom should generate

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Interaction inside the classroom should generate ideas, since the aim of teaching is to build understanding and new thinking. Argument and controversy may arise, but they are not the purpose of classroom interaction, and information alone is passed in a lecture without interaction. The answer is ideas. The point of a classroom exchange is that thinking leads to new ideas, which can be tested and discussed, and this is what makes it different from a debate.

Classroom communication can be described as

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Classroom communication can be described as discourse, that is, a continuing exchange of talk and ideas between teacher and students in which meaning is built up.

Exploration is a search or inquiry, institutionalisation is the process of making something an established part of an institution, and unsignified narration is not a recognised description of communication in the classroom, so discourse is the apt word.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

While delivering a lecture, if there is some disturbance in the class, the teacher should motivate those causing the disturbance to take part in the lesson. A positive and constructive response keeps the class working and treats the cause of the disturbance.

Keeping quiet for a while may be used in a small way but does not deal with the problem, punishing the students is a negative approach, and ignoring what is happening in the class is a failure of the teacher's duty.

A teacher who wins over the disturbing students by interest and involvement also teaches them discipline without making them hostile, which is the approach recommended in teaching aptitude.

Classroom communication of a teacher rests on the principle of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Classroom communication of a teacher rests on the principle of edutainment.

Edutainment combines education with entertainment, so that the teacher makes learning interesting through examples, activity and humour while teaching the content. This is the key's choice for what classroom communication rests on.

Infotainment blends information with entertainment in news and current-affairs programmes. Entertainment alone and enlightenment alone do not describe the teaching purpose as well.
