A teacher intends to use a transformational approach in teaching to effectively influence students' learning. Which of the following activities would be appropriate in this context?

1.Providing a sense of respect and trust for students

2.Promoting contingent rewards for efforts of students

3.Intervening in a student's task only if standards are not met

4.Communicating high-level expectations

5.Promoting careful problem-solving and individual consideration

AI, II and III only

BII, III and IV only

CIII, IV and V only

DI, IV and V only ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) I, IV and V only

Explanation

Respect and trust, high expectations, and careful problem-solving with individual consideration are transformational teaching activities.

Statement 1, giving students respect and trust, reflects idealised influence, a pillar of transformational leadership.

Statement 1V, communicating high expectations, expresses inspirational motivation.

Statement 5, careful problem-solving and individual consideration, combines intellectual stimulation with individualised attention.

Statement 2, contingent rewards for effort, is a transactional, not transformational, feature.

Statement 3, intervening only when standards are unmet, is management by exception, again transactional.
