CTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 9 - CTET & State TET MCQ

According to Piaget, language is a symptom of existing cognitive structures of the child. There are four major cognitive stages: sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete-operational and formal operations. Language acquisition varies depending upon the particular stage of development.
Skinner, and not Bruner, explains "language acquisition is measured in terms of learning principles or more particularly, a child's operant conditioning techniques".

The techniques required to motivate students of a class are: setting induction, use of blackboard to show illustrations as well as students in the active participation. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

A student always feels tense when he is unaware of things happening to him and happening around him. Mere words from someone on whom he relies upon can act wonders in such cases. The teacher must tell him that it is normal and is due to hormonal changes.

'Modelling' refers to imitation. Imitation is directly linked to observation. Bandura claims that children continually learn desirable and undesirable behaviours through observational learning. Observational learning suggests that an individual's environment, cognition, and behaviour all integrate and ultimately determine how the individual functions.

All differences between individuals may be interpreted by the facts of heredity or nature, environment or nurture, and training. Individuals have various endowments, abilities and capacities, provided by heredity which decide the path of progress and development of an individual. Environment also plays a key role in individual differences. No person from birth to death get the same environment. Both nature (heredity) and nurture (environment) are strong contenders in order to distinguish one individual from another.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation emphasises how learning can be observed, recorded and improved upon. In this scheme, the term 'continuous' is meant to emphasise that evaluation of identified aspects of students' growth and development is a continuous process rather than an event, built into the total teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span of academic session. It means regularity of assessment, frequency of unit testing, diagnosis of learning gaps, use of corrective measures, retesting and feedback of evidence to teachers and students for their self-evaluation.

Gender discrimination may lead to diminished effort or performance in education or the labour market, which itself gives rise to negative outcomes. What remains unclear from this line of research, however, is to what extent perceptions of discrimination correspond to some reliable depiction of reality. Because events may be misperceived or overlooked, perceptions of discrimination may over- or under-estimate the actual incidence of discrimination.

Classroom management is the responsibility of the class teacher as she is the one who manages children, she knows how to handle children, she knows how to control emotions, how to teach them, what is right or wrong for the children.
Hence, the correct answer is "Class-teacher".

The teacher should focus on every child so that no one feels leftover, scolding weak students will discourage them, the teachers to support them so that they get motivation from their support. When children have positive support then they can work better than before and when we applause for someone and appraise for something then that children will boost up their morale.
Hence, the correct answer is "Applause and tell them to do work".

Young learners are encouraged to interact with peers so that their communication skills get better and tell their feeling to them, what they can't say to their parents. They can easily speak in public because talking with peers make them feel comfortable in every situation of their life. They also learn new things from the school environment.
Hence, the correct answer is "They learn social skills in the course of study".

In sports coaching, play and practice are said to be two of the key variables that influence skill acquisition. Hence, option 4 is the answer.

Training in advance of normal maturation is beneficial or harmful depending on the method used in training. If the methods used are forceful, then it can be harmful, but if the methods used in the training are normal and fit for the person, then it will be beneficial.

First generation learners are defined as students whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) has/have not completed any formal schooling. This means that they are the first in their family to attend school. Generally, there is no one at home to encourage such children for self-studying. So, option 2 is the correct answer.

A school gives preference to girls while preparing students for state-level solo song competitions. This reflects gender bias; this happens because girls are suppressed by their families, so schools want them to explore more and more by motivating and providing them with the opportunity and fully support them. Girls are also strong in this kind of field, and just because of their gender, everyone thing they won, but it is not true, talent also plays an important role, and with talent, there is a maximum chance of winning the competition. 
Hence, the correct answer is "Gender bias".

Lectures are based on theoretical principles, which help students to understand a particular concept. Students won't learn any new things from that. They always think that the lectures are boring. Playing outdoor games make their mind fresh and they also love to play games which develop their mind. So they always try to make something new. Likewise, children love to do experiments so practical work helps them to develop their creativity level. 
Hence, the correct answer is "Lecture".

Active Participation means when children initiate to speak something when they try to participate in group discussions. The teachers force children so that they will try to be good speakers and gain confidence.
Hence, the correct answer is "Active participation".

A lesson can be introduced in the class by using examples related to the lesson so that it is easily understandable by children. Telling stories easily attracts students and students find it easy to understand such lessons by story-telling the children like to listen to the stories. That's why teachers introduce lessons with stories.
Hence, the correct answer is "All of these".

The question paper is for students so that teachers will get to know how much students have learned. Content coverage will assure the teacher that that question paper covers the complete chapter or not.
Hence, the correct answer is "Content coverage".

Favour to a particular favourite student in the examination is unfair for other students. This is how children will learn a habit of cheating. Next time, they won't try to learn their lessons and who deserve the best marks will never get a chance. The children will not focus on a study that will make them dull students.
Hence, the correct answer is "Lodge a complaint against him to the principal".

While storytelling, a teacher maintains a natural sequence so that children take more interest in the class. The nature of human beings is that they take more interest in realistic things. Characters of the story should be properly elaborated so that while listening to the story it will easily be understandable by others. 
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian teacher who is considered a pioneer in learning in social contexts. As a psychologist, he was also the first to examine how our social interactions influence our cognitive growth. He believed that learning took place through relationships with others in our communities, including peers, adults, teachers, and other mentors. 

Education intends to promote all-round development of the student. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is to be carried out in relation to students’ cognitive, affective and psycho-motor growth.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation refers to a school-based evaluation, which covers all aspects of school activities related to a child’s development.

• It emphasizes two-fold objectives such as continuity of evaluation and assessment of learning outcomes in a comprehensive manner.
• It covers all the domains of learning i.e. cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

Errors are the faults made by the student during their learning. Errors help students to find out their weak points of view regarding the problem and also make a chance to improve their learning. Errors are made because of the different thought processes of the students regarding the problem.

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable aim and may be viewed as the opposite of success. There are many cognitive, physical, intellectual, emotional, and cultural causes for the failure of students.

- Assertion: The assertion is false as early childhood experiences play a crucial role in shaping long-term development, influencing various aspects of an individual's life.

- Reason: The reason is also false since foundational development in childhood is not solely determined by genetic factors but is a complex interplay of genetic predispositions and environmental influences.

- Explanation: Both the assertion and reason are inaccurate. Early childhood experiences significantly impact long-term development, with genetic factors representing only one aspect of the multifaceted developmental process.

- The assertion concerning assessment's objective nature is correct.
- The reason stating that evaluation involves judging and determining value is also true.
- However, the reason does not directly explain why assessment involves understanding conditions, leading to Option B as the correct answer.

Assertion is correct: Motivation being a continuous process is a valid statement.

Reason is correct: Wants being innumerable and unsatisfiable all at once is also true.

However, the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion. While both statements are valid, the fact that wants are unsatisfiable all at once does not directly explain why motivation is a continuous process. Motivation's continuity can stem from various other factors.

- The assertion is true as per Mead's Social Self Theory, where the 'me' represents the socialized aspect of a person.

- The reason is false as the 'me' in Mead's theory signifies the socialized aspect, not the active aspect.

- Therefore, the assertion is true, and the reason is false, making Option C the correct answer.

• The assertion that children in the formal operational stage demonstrate logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts is correct.
• The reason that early in this stage, there is a temporary return to egocentric thought is also correct.
• In this case, the reason provided is indeed the correct explanation for the assertion. During the formal operational stage, although children can use logic to solve problems and think abstractly, they may still temporarily revert to egocentric thought, especially at the beginning of this stage.
