IBPS PO General Awareness: Pedagogy questions with solutions

Q1. Directions: Answer the following question by selecting the most appropriate option. A science teacher administered a test after teaching the topic of respiration and observed that the majority of the students did not understand the difference between respiration and breathing. This could be due to the reason that

1. She was not their class teacher
2. The students could not understand the question correctly
3. There was usually a lot of indiscipline in her class
4. She could not explain the related concept effectively in the class

Answer: She could not explain the related concept effectively in the class

If the majority of students cannot distinguish between respiration and breathing after instruction, the most likely cause is ineffective explanation of the concept. This points to a teaching-learning issue rather than discipline or class-teacher status.
