CTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 7 - CTET & State TET MCQ

Student should be allowed his/her preference. Student should be comfortable and encouraged to do something.

Motivation, in the process of learning, creates interest for learning among young learners.

Critical pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and learning. Its proponents claim that it is a continuous process of what they call unlearning, learning, and relearning, reflection, evaluation, and the impact that these actions have on students. Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that combines education with critical theory. Paulo Freire was the first to describe it.
Freire endorses students' ability to think critically about their educational situation; this way of thinking allows them to recognize connections between their individual problems and experiences and the social contexts in which they are embedded.

The word intrapersonal means within the self-so, intrapersonal intelligence is another term for self-awareness or introspection. People who have high intrapersonal intelligence are aware of their emotions, motivations, beliefs, and goals. They are able to discriminate among similar emotions.

Piaget's theory states that children actively construct their understanding of the world and go through four stages of cognitive development.

Educational institutions are not the only place where learning takes place. Learning takes place in varied and multiple social contexts.

The tools for formative assessment in scholastic domain are oral questions, assignments, conversation skills, projects, quizzes, and group work. The tools for summative assessment in scholastic domain are multiple choice questions, short answer type and long answer type descriptive questions at term end.

Teachers who work under school-based assessment feel a sense of ownership for the system.

Heredity and Environment operate together to produce a person's intelligence, temperament, height, weight, etc. The relative contributions of heredity and environment are not additive. It cannot be said that such-and-such percentage of nature, and such-and-such percentage of experience makes us who we are. The genetic expression also does not happen just once. Genes produce proteins throughout the lifespan, in many different environments.

Providing support only to one gender is against the spirit of promoting gender equity. So, option 3 is the correct answer.

Motivation is the process of learning that defines a reason for a person to do something or the desire a person has to do something. It creates interest in learning among young learners. If learners are motivated they will perform their work efficiently and effectively and if they are not motivated to do something then it will affect their performance.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Creates interests for learning among young learners.'

Learning can be enhanced if situations from the real world are brought into the class in which students interact with each other and the teacher facilitates. Children grasp easily when a teacher makes them understand the concepts by relating them to real-life experiences. In this way, they not only create interests in their subject but also retain concepts for a longer time.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Situations from the real world are brought into the class in which students interact with each other and the teacher facilitates.'

The process of learning can take place everywhere. It is not limited to a particular place, it can take place in a formal setup or in the informal or non-formal setup. Non-formal setup does not require any curriculum, syllabus, etc whereas formal setup requires curriculum, syllabus, etc. Learnings in educational institutions are known as formal learning. Learning is a comprehensive, goal-oriented process.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Educational institutions are the only place where learning takes place.'

A student of any class having a problem of  'visual deficiency' should be treated normally within the classroom and provided support through audio CDs. Children suffering from 'visual deficiency are unable to see, in that case, they should be provided adequate support through audio lectures so that they also gain the same level of understanding as other students.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Treated normally in the classroom and provided support through audio CDs.'

A teacher should possess some qualities to teach at the primary level such as she should have the patience to deal with all sorts of questions arising in the minds of the students. Students at the primary level ask very silly questions she should not get frustrated with them and reply in a very calm manner. Apart from this, a teacher should also have a quality of perseverance she should stick to her plans and not lose hopes even if she is facing many difficulties in achieving them.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Patience and Perseverance.'

Jean Piaget has proposed four stages in his cognitive development theory. The First stage is the sensorimotor stage which occurs from birth to 2 years, second is the pre-operational stage which occurs from 2 to 7 years of age, the third is the concrete operational stage which occurs from 7 to 11 years of age. This is the stage when a child begins to think logically about objects and events. Last is the formal operational stage which occurs above 12 years of age.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Concrete operational stage.'

A teacher having a democratic nature permits students to sit all over the class in which some sit together and discuss or do group reading. Some sit quietly and read themselves. If a parent does not like this behaviour of a teacher then they should show trust in the teacher and discuss the problem with the teacher. Maybe the teacher is doing this with positive hidden motives.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Parents should show trust in the teacher and discuss the problem with the teacher.'

The 'insight theory of learning' was proposed by Wolfgang Kohler. During the time when he was studying the behaviour of apes, he has designed some simple experiments that lead to the development of the cognitive theories of learning which he referred to as insight learning.
Insight learning is the form of cognitive learning in which animals are used by Kohler to get the results. It occurs in human learning when people recognize relationships that can help them in solving problems.
Hence, the correct answer is, ''Gestalt theorists.'

Jean Piaget has proposed the cognitive development of theory in which he identified four stages of children's intellectual development. These stages are, the sensorimotor stage which occurs from birth to 2 years, the preoperational stage which occurs from 2 years to 7 years, the concrete operational stage which occurs from 7 years to 11 years and the formal operational stage (abstract thinking) which occurs from 11 years and above.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Piaget.'

Adolescence is the stage when children become active members of the peer group. It is a transitional stage of growth and development that lies between childhood and adulthood. According to the World Health Organization, this period occurs between the age of 10 and 19. At this stage, children are more actively involved in their peer group. They share everything with their friends instead of family. They are more comfortable with their peers.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Adolescence.'

Special education is defined as individualized educational instruction designed to meet the unique educational and related needs of students with disabilities. 

The reasoning is inherently a thinking process. Man has recourse to reasoning in order to obtain reliable knowledge. He attempts to comprehend the world around him by applying the faculty of reasoning. There are two types of reasoning deductive and inductive.

Assignments are the basis of academic and didactic interaction or communication between the distance learner and the distance teacher.

• Assignments enable the students to ensure that they have actually learned what they are expected to learn from their course materials.
• The actual teaching-learning takes place through assignments.
• The assignments, when handled properly, reinforce learning through quick communication and feedback from the teacher.
• The assignments provide for continuous assessment of learners.
• It is used to develop creativity among the students.
• Creativity involves thinking that aims at producing ideas or products that are relatively novel and that are, in some respect, compelling.
• They also provide an opportunity for the learner to improve himself in the light of the feedback as discussed earlier.
• Assignments support and facilitate student learning by enabling students to apply their knowledge and skills.

Thus, it is concluded that providing assignments may be used to develop creativity among the students.

Assessment is conducted in different phases of the teaching-learning process. Some assessments are conducted before the beginning of the teaching-learning process; some assessments are carried out during the teaching-learning process; and other kinds of assessments are conducted at the end of the instructional process. 

Kohlberg's theory of moral development is a theory that focuses on how children develop morality and moral reasoning. His theory played a profound role in the development of moral psychology.

- The Assertion is correct as extrinsic rewards can indeed decrease intrinsic motivation.

- The Reason is false as intrinsic motivation arises from internal, not external, factors.

- Since the Reason is false, but the Assertion is true, Option C is the correct answer.

Both Assertion and Reason are true.
Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Vocational education's 50% target aligns with NEP 2020's goals but isn't solely due to integration; other factors drive this target, like skill development emphasis, employment opportunities, and economic growth.

- Assertion: The statement regarding bio-social factors influencing academic achievement is correct as these factors encompass inborn characteristics and educational background.

- Reason: The reason statement is also accurate as it indicates how factors like gender and educational background can impact a learner's success.

- Explanation: The reason provided indeed explains why bio-social factors are crucial in determining academic achievement, making Option A the correct choice.

- Assertion is true: The formal operational stage in Piaget's theory indeed begins at the age of 11.

- Reason is true: This stage does mark the development of abstract thinking and hypothetical reasoning.

- The Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

- The assertion is true as gender norms are indeed socially constructed and can restrict individuals from expressing their identity freely.

- The reason is also true as society does tend to link specific traits and behaviors with gender, reinforcing traditional roles.

- However, the reason does not directly explain why gender norms limit individuals' freedom to define their identities within these categories. Therefore, Option B is the correct choice.
