How would one say "to call on a student"?


I would like to write a sentence to the effect of "the student was afraid to
be called on." I have searched all over to find the verb of "calling on" a
student and the best I can find is 当たる as [provided by this dictionary
website](https://jisho.org/word/%E5%BD%93%E3%81%9F%E3%82%8B) (see definition
11).

However, I do know that this verb tends to mean "hit," and I am doubtful of
how common 当たる would be used for this context of calling upon a student by a
teacher.

Would this word be normally used in this way? Or is there a better, more
common way to convey the idea of teachers calling upon a student to answer a
question?




We use:

transitive 当てる for "(for a teacher) to call on a student to answer a
question", and  
intransitive 当たる for "(for a student) to be called on (by a teacher)".

We also use:

[指名]{しめい}する for "(for a teacher) to call on a student".

E.g.

> 「(生徒が)授業で当たる」  
>  「(生徒が)授業で(先生に)当てられる」  
>  「(先生が)授業で生徒を当てる」  
>  「(先生が)生徒を指名する」  
>  「(生徒が)授業で(先生に)指名される」

(当てる/当たる sounds a little more casual/conversational than 指名する/される.)
