Question

Select the alternative which consists of positive factors contributing to the effectiveness of teaching:

• [(J)] Teacher's knowledge of the subject.

• [(K)] Teacher's socio-economic background.

• [(L)] Communication skill of the teacher.

• [(M)] Teacher's competence in managing the classroom transactions.

• A. J and K only
• B. J, K and M
• C. K, L and M
• D. J, L and M

Hint:

Teaching effectiveness depends on skills, not personal background.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the task.
We select the positive factors of teaching effectiveness from $J, K, L, M$.
Step 2: Check Subject knowledge (J).
Strong command of the subject ensures accuracy and clarity, so J counts.
Step 3: Check Socio-economic background (K).
A teacher's economic background does not affect teaching quality, so K is irrelevant.
Step 4: Check Communication skill (L).
Good communication ensures effective transfer of knowledge, so L counts.
Step 5: Check Classroom management (M).
Competence in managing transactions keeps the class organised, so M counts.
Step 6: Combine the valid factors.
\[ J + L + M = \text{effective set},\quad K = \text{rejected} \]
Step 7: Choose the option.
J, L and M is option D.
\[ \boxed{\text{D. J, L and M}} \]
