Which technique involves asking learners to repeat information in their own words to confirm understanding?

• A. Demonstration
• B. Lecture
• C. Teach back
• D. Rote memorization

Answer: (C)

Teach-back is a technique where you ask learners to explain in their own words what they were told or to describe how they would apply the information. This confirms understanding because it shows whether they can translate the material into their own language and use it, not just repeat it. It also reveals gaps or misconceptions so you can address them immediately, which is especially important in health education for safe and correct action. Demonstration involves showing how to do something, which is a different active check; lecture is a one-way transfer of information; rote memorization focuses on repeating exact words without ensuring true comprehension.
