Correct answer: D
Concept: Teaching competencies are commonly grouped into two broad kinds: performance/behavioural competencies — the outward professional actions a teacher performs to organise and run the teaching-learning process (e.g. planning, organising, managing, monitoring, directing) — and personality-and-attitude competencies — the relatively stable psychological beliefs and dispositions a teacher holds about themselves (e.g. locus of control, self-efficacy, teacher enthusiasm).
Application: Apply this grouping to each of the five listed items:
Competency | Category |
|---|---|
A. Managing | Performance/behavioural skill — organising and directing classroom activity |
B. Monitoring | Performance/behavioural skill — supervising ongoing instruction |
C. Locus of control | Personality-and-attitude trait — belief about who controls one's own outcomes |
D. Planning | Performance/behavioural skill — organising lesson objectives and sequence in advance |
E. Self-efficacy | Personality-and-attitude trait — belief in one's own capability to succeed |
Only Locus of control and Self-efficacy describe an inner belief the teacher holds about themselves; Managing, Monitoring, and Planning describe outward managerial actions. So the pair related to personality and attitude is Locus of control and Self-efficacy, matching the option 'C and E only'.
Cross-check: This matches the standard definitions: locus of control (Rotter) is a person's belief about whether outcomes are governed by their own effort or by external factors, and self-efficacy (Bandura) is a person's belief in their own capability to succeed at a task — both are self-belief constructs, not teachable managerial procedures like planning, organising, managing, or monitoring a lesson.
