Which of the following is the key behavior contributing to effective teaching?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Explaining concepts in a logical step by step presentation.

Research on effective teaching (notably Borich) distinguishes a small set of key behaviours that directly contribute to student achievement from a set of helping or facilitating behaviours that support them. The five key behaviours include lesson clarity, which involves explaining content clearly and in a logical, well-organised manner.

Explaining concepts in a logical step by step presentation is a key behaviour because clarity of presentation is one of the core direct contributors to effective teaching and student understanding.

Summarizing what was told by a student, Encouraging students to elaborate on an answer and Using direct and indirect questioning are helping or facilitating behaviours; they assist instruction but are classified as catalyst or supporting behaviours rather than the primary key behaviours. Hence the clear, logical, step-by-step explanation is the key behaviour that contributes to effective teaching.

Correct answer: Explaining concepts in a logical step by step presentation.
