CG TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 6 (Social Science) - CG TET MCQ

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, proposed that children's cognitive development proceeds through four stages:

• Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years): Children use their senses and motor abilities to understand the world around them. They learn through direct experiences with objects and people.
• Preoperational stage (2 to 7 years): Children develop mental symbols to represent objects and ideas. They begin to use language and engage in pretend play.
• Concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years): Children develop the ability to think logically and systematically about concrete objects and events. They become more skilled at solving problems.
• Formal operational stage (11 years and beyond): Children develop abstract thinking skills and are able to reason logically about abstract concepts and hypothetical situations.

These stages are not fixed and children may move through them at different rates. The stages provide a general framework for understanding children's cognitive development and can help educators tailor their instruction to meet the needs and abilities of their students.

The meaning of "progressive education" depends on the meaning assigned to the word 'progress'. Progress implies movement and movement involves changes in some direction. 'progressive education, is that body of educational thought that nourished in the fertile mind of John Dewey. 

The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 is a guideline for school education in India.

Growth is the expansion of some object, institution or population which is measurable and is always quantitative whereas development is related to qualitative improvement. Qualitative differences focus on changes in the way children think, behave, and perceive the world differently as they mature. Hence statement 4 is not true.

Questions are an aid in the learning process and hence questioning skill is one of the important teaching skills required to be developed to conduct a successful classroom session by the teacher. Effective teachers use productive questions to help students advance in their thinking and to construct their own understandings.

Conversation skill is not a tool but a skill that is learnt using various tools.

उद्देश्य के लिये परीक्षण तैयार किया गया है, यदि वह उसकी पूर्ति करता है, तो वह वैध परीक्षण कहलायेगा।
वैधता: जब किसी परीक्षण द्वारा उसी दक्षता की जाँच होती है जिसके लिए उसे निर्मित किया गया है तो उस परीक्षण को वैध कहा जाता है। उदाहरण के लिए यदि हम किसी भाषा कौशल की जाँच करना चाहते हैं तो प्रश्न ऐसे हों जो उसी भाषा कौशल की जाँच करें न कि ज्ञान या अभिरुचि की।

कहानी, हिन्दी में गद्य लेखन की एक विधा है। मनुष्य के जन्म के साथ ही साथ कहानी का भी जन्म हुआ और कहानी कहना तथा सुनना मानव का आदिम स्वभाव बन गया। इसी कारण से प्रत्येक सभ्य तथा असभ्य समाज में कहानियाँ पाई जाती हैं। हमारे देश में कहानियों की बड़ी लंबी और सम्पन्न परंपरा रही है।

बच्चे घर-परिवार एवं परिवेश से सर्वप्रथम भाषा बोलना सीखते हैं। पहली बार विद्यालय में आने वाला बच्चा शब्दों के अर्थ और उनके प्रभाव से परिचित होता है।
सर्वप्रथम भाषा बच्चे अर्जन से सीखते हैं। प्राथमिक स्तर पर बच्चों के शुरुआती भाषा में परिवार में होने वाली परस्पर बातचीत का माहौल बच्चे के भाषा विकास में प्रभावकारी भुमिका निभाता है। परिवार में होने वाली बातचीत जितनी अधिक गुणवत्तापूर्ण होगी भाषा  विकास में उतनी ही अधिक सहायक होगी। 
अतः हम कह सकते है कि परिवार में होने वाली परस्पर गुणवत्तापूर्ण बातचीत प्राथमिक स्तर पर बच्चों के शुरुआती भाषा-विकास में सर्वाधिक योगदान दे सकती है।

पद्यांश के अनुसार:-

Multimedia resources in learning the language:

• CD-ROMs: Several language learning multimedia CDROMs are built with entertainment. Besides, several language learning titles allow the learners to record and play their speech, and a speech recognition system with the titles will check for accuracy. This allows the learners to learn the correct pronunciations and also assess a learner's pronunciation on a quality scale.
• Interactive language books: Interactive book is another multimedia-enabled resource that allows users some control over the text they are reading. Mostly, interactive books use only text with simple interactivity such as allowing the reader to make comments on the margins, search by keywords, and mark text.
• Language Games: These games are mainly based on learning languages simply. These games provide high-speed accuracy and instant reactions to the player's control. Besides, instant feedback is given to the players as they progress through the game. Games like puzzle games, mind games, etc.

Therefore, we can conclude that all of the above are examples of multimedia resources that can be used in learning a language.

Language skill refers to the ability to use a language properly. In other words, the learner should be fully proficient in all four skills of the language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

• The process of writing is generally a way to put abstract thoughts, ideas, and concepts into words, and to bring imagination into reality with the help of proper words of a particular language. Students' writing skills usually improve naturally with their experiences, maturity, and practice.

In the teaching-learning process, visually challenged learners suffer from an issue with sight or vision but when they are facilitated with the right training and tools, they develop a good literacy ability.
Instructional adaptations that a teacher should make while working with visually challenged learners include:

• using a lot of touches and feel materials.
• giving verbal clues to create opportunities to imagine.
• introducing tactile materials during classroom discussions.
• speaking clearly and loudly with appropriate pauses and reiterations.
• providing learning with the help of auditory systems such as an audio CD of the textbook, radio, etc.
• using the braille system to make them read-write as its raised dots will help the child to study the words through the pattern.

A teacher should not use a variety of visual presentations and written tasks especially worksheets for visually challenged learners as it could lead to low self-esteem and feeling of failure in them.
So, it could be concluded that a teacher should speak clearly and use a lot of touches and feel materials while working with visually challenged learners.
Tactile materials: It refers to the inputs which children receive through the receptive sensors of their skins.
Braille system: It refers to a pattern of raised dots called "Braille" to represent letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, that can be felt with a finger.

A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and a verb and forms a complete thought.

• Queen Rudramadevi was a prominent ruler of the Kakatiya dynasty in Warangal, which is now part of modern-day Andhra Pradesh.
• She ruled from 1262 to 1289 CE. Hence, statement (A) is not true.
• Rudramadevi was one of the few female monarchs in Indian history, and she is known for her courage, political acumen, and contribution to the welfare of her kingdom.
• Rudramadevi's ascension to the throne was initially met with resistance due to gender norms and societal expectations.
• However, she proved her capabilities as a ruler and successfully defended her kingdom against external threats.

Social Sciences include a body of knowledge, that deals with social and cultural aspects of human life that have emerged as distinct disciplines in order to be taught at different levels of the education system.

Assessment of knowledge of students is the main objective of evaluation in Social Science.

The Himalayas and the Alps are examples of 'fold' types of mountains.
Fold Mountain:

• Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates are pushed together.
• At these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges.
• Fold mountains are created through a process called orogeny.
• An orogenic event takes millions of years to create a fold mountain
• Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain in the world.
• The rugged, soaring heights of the Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are all active fold mountains. 

Hence, the correct answer is folded mountain.
