This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 2 Management Question Paper (22-Jan-2017)
The correct answer is

(A) is true, but (R) is false.

Let's evaluate the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the teaching aptitude question, and determine the correct option based on these statements.

  1. Analysis of Assertion (A): The assertion states that "All teaching implies learning." This is generally true, as the fundamental purpose of teaching is to facilitate learning. When a teacher imparts knowledge or skills, it is intended that the students will learn from it.
  2. Analysis of Reason (R): The reason claims that "Learning to be useful must be derived from teaching." This is not necessarily true because learning can come from a variety of sources other than formal teaching. Many individuals learn through experience, observation, self-study, exploration, and other informal methods that do not involve a structured teaching process.
  3. Conclusion: Since the assertion (A) is true (teaching does indeed imply the occurrence of learning), but the reason (R) is false (not all useful learning must stem from formal teaching), we conclude that the correct answer is: (A) is true, but (R) is false.

The option stating "(A) is true, but (R) is false" accurately reflects the interpretation of both the statements provided.
