BStudents' interest
CLearning outcomes of students ✓ Correct
DUse of teaching aids in the classroom
Correct answer: (C) Learning outcomes of students — Teaching effectiveness is judged by the learning outcomes of students, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Teaching effectiveness is judged by the learning outcomes of students, so that is the answer.
★The true test of teaching is how much and how well students have actually learned.
★Learning outcomes measure the change in the students' knowledge, skill and understanding, which is the real purpose of teaching.
★Merely covering the course shows what was taught but not what was learned, so it cannot measure effectiveness.
★Students' interest is helpful for learning but is a condition, not the final proof that learning has taken place.
★The use of teaching aids is only a means, so it too cannot by itself decide whether teaching has been effective.
