D1, 2 and 4 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 2 and 4 — The factors that do not contribute to teaching effectiveness are 1, 2 and 4, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The factors that do not contribute to teaching effectiveness are 1, 2 and 4, so that is the answer.
★The socio-economic background of the teacher is a personal circumstance that does not by itself improve classroom teaching.
★Mere skill in pleasing the students may win popularity but does not ensure real learning, so it does not build effectiveness.
★Personal contact with students, taken alone as listed here, is a relationship factor rather than a direct cause of learning outcomes.
★The teacher's subject knowledge, by contrast, does contribute strongly, since command over the subject is basic to good teaching.
★Hence subject knowledge is the genuine contributor, while the other three do not contribute to effectiveness.
