Correct Answer - Option 3 : teach by question - answer method, so that students remain active in the class
The teaching-learning process is aimed to bring permanent change in the behavior of an individual (knowledge, skill, and attitude) that can be acquired consciously. It involves planning and execution of several activities and experiences to bring the desired outcomes. If the outcomes are not achieved as per expectations or much lower than that it is considered as the "failure" of the system.
Question-Answer Method: Questioning is a powerful technique of teaching subjects. Through this technique, the teacher transacts a lot of learning experiences. The teacher asks questions and the responses given by the students are strengthened and elaborated. It is also known as the Socratic method of teaching. This method is given by famous philosopher Socrates.
