Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: A Biology teacher while teaching 'cell' to a class may write an instructional objective - "The students will be able to draw a diagram of a cell".
Reason R: Drawing diagrams improves drawing skill of the students.

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is correct but R is not correct.
• D. A is not correct but R is correct.

Hint:

In A-R questions, read the assertion, then say "BECAUSE" and read the reason. If it sounds illogical in the context of the subject (Biology), they are not connected.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This question tests the "Logic of Instructional Design." Every activity in a specific classroom (Biology) must serve the primary goals of that subject (Biology).

Step 1: Evaluating the Assertion.
Drawing is a powerful tool for visual learning. For a Biology teacher, "drawing a cell" is a perfectly valid instructional objective to ensure students recognize parts like the nucleus or mitochondria. Thus, A is correct.

Step 2: Evaluating the Reason.
It is a fact that drawing diagrams improves a student's general drawing skills. Thus, R is correct.

Step 3: Analyzing the Connection.
Does the Biology teacher set the objective *because* they want to turn students into artists? No. They set it because drawing helps students memorize biological structure. Therefore, while both are true statements, R does NOT explain the biological purpose of Assertion A.
