Unit 1.3 MCQs on Teaching methods

The Multisensory Method is based on the idea that:

• Learning occurs best when only one sense is used

• Students should focus only on reading and writing

• Engaging multiple senses enhances learning and retention

• Teaching should be limited to auditory methods

Which teaching method emphasizes learning through play and activities?

• Lecture Method

• Play-Way Method

• Direct Instruction

The Montessori method focuses on:

• Rote memorization

• Teacher-centered learning

• Hands-on, self-directed learning

The Project Method encourages:

• Individual competition over collaboration

• Learning through real-world, problem-solving activities

• Memorization of facts without practical application

• A rigid, teacher-controlled environment

The Principle of Reinforcement suggests that:

• Rewarding positive behavior strengthens learning

• Punishment is the best way to correct mistakes

• Students should not receive any feedback

• Teachers should not encourage active participation

Task Analysis involves:

• Breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps

• Teaching students without any structured approach

• Giving students all tasks at once without guidance

• Encouraging only rote learning

Prompting is a technique used to:

• Increase a learner's independence through assistance

• Discourage students from asking questions

• Introduce entirely new concepts without prior knowledge

• Prevent students from making progress in learning

Fading refers to:

• Gradually reducing assistance or prompts over time

• Increasing dependence on the teacher

• Introducing multiple concepts at the same time

• Ignoring students' progress

Shaping is a teaching strategy that involves:

• Reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior

• Teaching only one way to solve a problem

• Avoiding any corrections or reinforcements

• Moving from difficult to easy concepts

Chaining is a technique used to:

• Teach a sequence of behaviors or steps in a structured manner

• Teach students only one part of a concept

• Remove reinforcement from the learning process

• Focus only on independent learning without teacher guidance
