CTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 8 - CTET & State TET MCQ

Teachers are very closely linked to their students and motivate them to increase their knowledge and to develop confidence in them.

National Literacy Mission was started by Indian government in 1988 to educate people of 15 - 35 age groups over an eighty-year period.

Teaching regularly and effectively in a class by teachers develops an interest in students in studies and it prevents them from being absent from school. The teacher must make sure that the study material used in the class is interesting for the students, and that she is able to clearly convey the idea. The involvement of students is also a must to develop interest in studies, and hence reduce absenteeism in the class.

Curriculum is prepared by the school for planning the sequence and the content that is taught in a school for a required period of time.

In a continuous and comprehensive evaluation system, the percentage of each summative assessment is 30% that all together forms 60%, and that of formative assessment is 40%.

The early life of a child from birth to the age of two years is called infancy. Parents play a very vital role in the growth and development of a child during this period.

Every child has an interest in listening to stories. So, if a teacher tells interesting stories to students while teaching the subject, it develops an interest in students and they concentrate properly in class.

An effective teacher is one who is able to pay equal attention to every student in class. This way she is able to sort out the individual differences between them, and can use her observations to prepare her lesson plans in the long run.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau considered education as the process of learning for the children to develop their natural abilities from within. According to him, education was not only the means of gaining knowledge, but also the way for complete development of child.

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

• Linguistic intelligence (word smart)
• Logical-mathematical intelligence (number/reasoning smart)
• Spatial intelligence (picture smart)
• Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (body smart)
• Musical intelligence (music smart)
• Interpersonal intelligence (people smart)
• Intrapersonal intelligence (self smart)
• Naturalist intelligence (nature smart)

Teachers who work under School-Based Assessment observe students minutely daily to assess their values and attitudes.
Assessment is a process that is embedded in a teaching-learning process. It starts with planning the assessment programmes and ends with the final feedback given to the students. It is necessary to assess the student's strengths and weaknesses, skills, etc. of the students.
Hence, this is the correct answer.

According to Piaget, after the age of seven, children move into the second stage of morality from the first stage of the morality of constraint, and this stage is known as the Morality of Cooperation. 
The Morality of Cooperation stage is defined as the stage in which children can see from the other's point of view. They start recognising that the rules are not absolute they can be changed as per the necessary situations.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Morality of Cooperation.'

Grades and marks come in the category of analytic. When analysis of the performance of the students is done on the basis of grades and marks, it is more reliable and accurate than marks in terms of all possible potential of the students.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Analytic.'

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence is also known as three forms of intelligence propounded by Robert Sternberg, who was a prominent figure in the research of human intelligence. The theory explains the basic information processing components consist of three facets:

• Componential-Analytical Subtheory
• Experiential-Creative Subtheory
• Practical-Contextual Subtheory

Hence, the correct answer is, 'Practical Intelligence.'

Jean Piaget has given four stages of cognitive development:

• The Sensorimotor stage is the first stage that lies from Birth to 18–24 months old. In this stage, infants "THINK' with their eyes, ears and hands.
• The Pre-operational Stage is the second stage lies from 2 to 7 years old.
• The Concrete Operational Stage is the third stage that lies from 7 to 11 years old.
• The Formal Operational Stage is the fourth stage that lies from Adolescence to adulthood.

Hence, the correct answer is, 'Sensorimotor stage.'

Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development focuses on linguistic, social and cultural development in his theories but does not focus on biological development. It is because of social interactions or imaginative plays, cognitive development takes place in the children. He believes that socialization starts with the schools and communities that engage children in discovering and exploring new things.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Biological.'

• Girl students have shown equal capabilities in Mathematics compared to boys.
• Research indicates that abilities in subjects like Mathematics are not inherently linked to gender.
• Both girls and boys can excel in various fields, including STEM, when given equal opportunities.
• It's important to recognize and support the potential of all students, regardless of gender.

According to the theory of social learning of Albert Bandura, Modelling is a way through which behaviour is learned. Modelling is an activity where a child learns behaviour by imitating and copying the behaviour of others. When a child observes the behaviour of any person and then tries to copy or imitate that behaviour that means he is modelling the behaviour.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Modelling is a principal way for children to learn.'

The Law of effect principle was propounded by Edward Thorndike. According to this principle, any behavior is followed by pleasant consequences that get repeated whereas if it is followed by unpleasant consequences it gets stops. Edward Thorndike has given a learning theory that leads to the development of operant conditioning within Behaviorism.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'E.L Thorndike.'

A Concept map is a type of diagram that depicts relationships between concepts. The relationship is represented in circles or boxes; concepts are linked through words and phrases. These words and phrases explain the connection between ideas and help students understand information and concepts.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Increase the ability to organize information logically.'

National Education Policy 2020 is the first education policy of the 21st century and aims to address the many growing developmental imperatives of our country.

• This Policy proposes the revision and revamping of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to create a new system that is aligned with the aspirational goals of the 21st century.

• Gender inequality is the social phenomenon in which men and women are not treated equally.
• The treatment may arise from distinctions regarding biology, psychology, or cultural norms prevalent in the society.
• Gender inequality is experienced differently across different cultures. 
• In practice, it means discrimination against women in various aspects such as access to education, job or even free mobility. 

Therefore, the above example is of gender inequality. 

Assessment is an inbuilt process in teaching-learning, teachers can understand the needs of the learners better and accordingly change or adjust the quality of their instruction during the process of teaching the unit itself.

Evaluation is done to assess or evaluate someone's performance in a specified field. It is a component of assessment in education.
The purpose of CCE are:

• Greater focus is given to learning rather than on conducting tests and examinations.
• It reduces stress and anxiety, which often build up among young students during and after the examination.
• It contributes to the holistic development of learners as it gives importance to both scholastic and co-scholastic areas.
• CCE is used as an instrument of preparing learners for future life by making them physically fit, mentally alert, emotionally balanced, and socially adjusted.
• It aims to reduce the curricular workload on students to improve the overall abilities and skills of the students.

So, it is concluded that the purpose of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation is to contribute to the holistic development of learners.

The teaching-learning process is aimed to bring relatively permanent change in the behavior of an individual (knowledge, skill, and attitude) that can be acquired consciously. 

- 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.
