Match List-I (off-the-job methods of training) with List-II (their features):
| List-I | List-II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | Films | (I) | Learning units are arranged in a logical sequence, from simple to complex. |
| (B) | Class room lectures/conferences | (II) | It imitates some realities of the job, so that a mistake carries no real risk or high cost. |
| (C) | Computer modelling | (III) | It is well adapted to conveying specific information such as rules, procedures or methods. |
| (D) | Programmed instruction | (IV) | It explicitly demonstrates skills that are not easily represented by the other techniques. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
| List-I | List-II | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Films | (IV) It explicitly demonstrates skills that are not easily represented by the other techniques. | A film shows the skill on screen, so trainees can see how the work is done. |
| (B) Class room lectures/conferences | (III) It is well adapted to conveying specific information such as rules, procedures or methods. | A trainer talks to a group, which suits explaining rules and procedures. |
| (C) Computer modelling | (II) It imitates some realities of the job, so that a mistake carries no real risk or high cost. | A computer is programmed to copy the job, so a mistake in training costs nothing in real life. |
| (D) Programmed instruction | (I) Learning units are arranged in a logical sequence, from simple to complex. | Information is broken into meaningful units, and the trainee goes through them in order. |
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “(i) Class Room Lectures/Conferences: The lecture or conference approach is well adapted to conveying specific information-rules, procedures or methods. The use of audio-visuals or demonstrations can often make a formal classroom presentation more interesting while increasing retention and offering a vehicle for clarifying more difficult points.” “(ii) Films: They can provide information and explicitly demonstrate skills that are not easily represented by the other techniques. Used in conjunction with conference discussions, it is a very effective method in certain cases.” “(iv) Computer Modelling: It simulates the work environment by programming a computer to imitate some of the realities of the job and allows learning to take place without the risk or high costs that would be incurred if a mistake were made in real life situation.” “(vi) Programmed Instruction: This method incorporates a prearranged and proposed acquisition of some specific skills or general knowledge. Information is broken into meaningful units and these units are arranged in a proper way to form a logical and sequential learning package i.e. from simple to complex. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions or filling the blanks.” |
