Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The goal of reciprocal teaching is to help students understand and think deeply what they have read.
Statement II: Adaptive teaching provides all students with challenging instruction and uses supports when needed but removes these supports as students become able to handle more on their own.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both statements describe well-established teaching models, and each is accurately worded, so both are true.
Statement I is true. Reciprocal teaching, developed by Palincsar and Brown (1984), is an instructional approach whose explicit goal is to help students understand and think deeply about what they have read. It works through a structured, guided dialogue in which teacher and students take turns leading the discussion using four comprehension strategies — predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarising. This makes deeper text comprehension exactly its aim, so the statement is correct.
Statement II is true. Adaptive teaching gives all students access to challenging, grade-appropriate instruction while providing scaffolds or supports for those who need them. A defining feature is that these supports are not permanent: as learners become able to handle more on their own, the supports are gradually withdrawn — the process often called fading or the gradual release of responsibility. The statement describes this accurately.
Because both statements correctly describe genuine, research-backed pedagogical models, the option stating that only one is true, or that both are false, cannot be right.
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
