UGC NET Paper 1 GA 2016 Aug Solved Paper

(i) Teaching is not the same as training. Teaching, as a form of education, is more academic and knowledge based while training is more practical and skills based or job focused.
(ii) There is a clear difference between instruction and conditioning.Instruction is detailed presentation of academic information to students including how something should be done or operated whereas Conditioning is a behavioural process of being able to evoke a desired and predictable response frequently in a given environmentby using typical reinforcements of a stimulus or a reward.
(iii) Teaching certainly is related to learning as the two together form a process.
(iv) Teaching is indeed a ‘task’ to be accomplished while learning is measured in terms of achievable instructional objectives.
(v) Teaching is far more than mere imparting of information. Teachers are facilitators of learning and knowledge acquisition to the learners.
(vi) If teaching is not good, no instructional objectives are met and no learning takes place.
