Consider the following assertion and reason and choose the correct option:

Assertion (A):Pedagogy is defined simply as the method and practice of teaching.

Reason (R):The delivery of contents by a teacher depends upon his teaching preferences, his experience and the context in which he teaches.

ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct

CA is correct but R is not correct

DA is not correct but R is correct

Correct answer: (B) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, so they stand as separate correct facts.

The assertion correctly defines pedagogy as the method and practice of teaching.

The reason correctly notes that content delivery depends on the teacher's preferences, experience and context.

Describing what influences delivery, however, does not explain what pedagogy means by definition.

Pedagogy is a teacher-directed approach rooted in the art and science of teaching.

Andragogy and heutagogy extend the idea to self-directed adult learning and self-determined learning.
