Question

Select the correctly matched pair from the given table:

	A		B
(a)	Project method	(i)	Teacher-centred approach
(b)	Lecture method	(ii)	Learning by doing
(c)	Discussion method	(iii)	Student interaction

• A. (a) - (i)
• B. (b) - (ii)
• C. (c) - (iii)
• D. None of them are correctly matched

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (c) - (iii)

• (a) Project method – (ii) Learning by doing: The project method is fundamentally based on the "Pragmatism" philosophy of John Dewey. It is a student-centered approach where learners gain knowledge by actively engaging in real-world and meaningful projects. Matching it with (i) "Teacher-centred" is incorrect.

• (b) Lecture method – (i) Teacher-centred approach: This is the most traditional form of instruction. The teacher is the primary source of information, and the students are passive recipients. Matching it with (ii) "Learning by doing" is incorrect.

• (c) Discussion method – (iii) Student interaction: This method relies entirely on the exchange of ideas between the teacher and students, or among the students themselves. It encourages critical thinking and verbal communication.
