The following factors influence effectiveness of teaching:
Prior task related behaviour of students: Transaction of any lesson ideally begins with a recall/discussion/assessment of their previous knowledge on the topic. Their behaviour in this regard determines how receptive they will be to the teaching.
• Adherence to linear pattern of communication by the teacher: AB linear pattern is minus feedback from the receiver, the teacher gets no clue of the effect of teaching on the learners and there is no scope of any modification even if it is called for.
• Inappropriate use of technological resources by the teacher: If the technological resource is not used appropriately, the desired outcome cannot be attained.

Teaching and learning are differentiated as follows:
• Teaching is a social act as it involves the teacher and the students' interaction in a social environment; while learning is a personal act leading to individual level of attainment of the learner
• Teaching is like selling as the teacher dispenses his/her knowledge and skills in lieu of the salary s/he draws; while learning is like buying knowledge and skills by paying the fees.
• Teaching is an act directed towards learning and learner so influence too is directed on them; while learning is an act aimed at improving/enhancing one's own knowledge and skills.

Empirico-inductive research is quantitative. Inductive approach starts with observations which are searched for any pattern existing within. It aims to generate meaning/ explanation from the data set collected by direct/indirect observation or experience, and identify patterns and relationships (premises) existing amidst them to inductively construct a theory. Its conclusions are strictly drawn from concretely empirical evidence, which is verifiable, and they are generalisable. Generalization is an act of reasoning that involves drawing broad inferences from particular observations and is widely-acknowledged as a quality standard in quantitative research. So, the sampling procedure appropriate for this kind of research will be any non-probability technique.

Horizontal communication is the communication that flows laterally between persons at the same level. Though the teacher usually is higher than the taught in rank, during an animated discussion between the two, latter rises to an equal level and this difference gets blurred.
Mechanical communication involves machine-to-machine (M2M) networks; Linear communication is one-sided, e.g., from the teacher to the taught; and, Categorical communication allows the receiver to distinguish between sounds, no matter how varied or similar they may be.
