6. Which of the following is the key teaching behaviour to make a teacher effective?
- Option : C
- Explanation : Engaging students in the learning process is a key teaching behaviour as it ensures students' involvement, generates their interest in knowing more and motivates them to achieve learning outcomes.
Teacher's comments and/or use of content and process questions are important but do not ensure the above. Using students' ideas encourages and motivates them, but the rider is that students are learners and hence, may not be correct most of the time. Moreover, it might sow the seeds of arrogance in mind students and trigger negative vibes in the classroom environment
- Option : A
- Explanation : Out of three consecutive numbers, one number is atleast even number and atleast one number is divisible by 3. Now any number that are divisible by 2 and 3, must be divisible by 6. Such type of reasoning is called deductive reasoning; Deductive reasoning is a process of reaching a necessary conclusion from given facts or hypothesis.
- Option : A
- Explanation : Referencing is giving credit, with citation, to the source of information used in one's work. It is done at the end of a thesis in a particular format and style. If it is done inappropriately, it is a technical lapse on the part of the researcher. It however, doesn't undermine the researcher's competency in writing a thesis, nor does it point to lack of commitment. It certainly does not violate ethical concerns.
- Option : C
- Explanation : External validity refers to how generalisable the findings are, which means how well they apply to larger samples of people, or other settings, situations, and time periods.
