  • These approaches believe that an individual's social environment, such as family, community, and culture, plays a significant role in shaping their personality, behavior, and mental health. Therefore, psycho-social approaches emphasize understanding an individual's unique social context and cultural background to provide effective support and treatment.

Thus, it is concluded that Only II is true.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 14
Which of the following advertisements is NOT an example of a gender stereotype?
Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 14

Gender Stereotyping refers to the relatively fixed and overgeneralized attitudes and behaviors that are considered normal and appropriate for a person in a particular culture based on his or her biological sex. For example,

  • Presenting women doing make-up.
  • Being dropped by her husband.
  • Doing some household chores given that when a woman is capable of doing much more.

Key Points

  • It should be noted that stereotypes can be broken by showing 'girl playing football in an advertisement for a sports shoe.'

​Hence, we conclude that 'girl playing football in an advertisement for a sports shoe' does not show gender stereotypes.

Additional Information

  • Gender stereotyping can limit the development of the natural talents and abilities of girls and boys, women and men, as well as their educational and professional experiences and life opportunities in general.
  • Stereotypes about women result from deeply ingrained attitudes, values, norms, and prejudices against women.
  • To avoid the situation of gender stereotype, a family should start involving boys in household chores that were mainly concerned with girls traditionally which gave rise to gender biasing and stereotyping.
  • Therefore, "to bridge the gap of gender stereotypes, girls should be asked to help in works outside the home too as well as boys to help inside the home".
DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Role identification refers to the adaptation of values, attitudes, and actions of other people. For example, a boy pretends like his father and imitates his words and actions instead of fighting with him.

  • Erik Erikson has given a theory of psychosocial development that focuses on how the social experience impacts a person's lifespan. He has given 8 stages to explain the impact of social interaction and how development occurs at each stage.
Key Points:
  • The fifth stage of Erikson's theory explains identity vs role confusion which occurs at the age of 12-18 years during adolescence.
  • This stage was based on the Epigenetic principle that states the development of personality takes place in a predetermined order.
  • This stage talks about how social and occupational identities develop. Society plays a vital role to make a child understand what behavior and responses are expected from him from society.
  • Thus, it helps him in setting his role identity which enhances his social relationships by establishing his social identity.
  • The success of this stage leads to fidelity. The virtue of fidelity means the ability to relate with other people that helps in forming relationships.

Hence it is concluded that role identification helps a learner to establish his social identity.

Additional InformationAll the stages of Erik Erikson's theory are given below:

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 16
Between the age of ______, the child manages the maximum social adjustment in this changeable and variable social world.
Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 16

Adolescence marks an important time in the process of human development, the passage between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence is characterised by rapid physical, social, mental, and emotional change. It is also a time of opportunity and risk. Adolescent, the age is between 10 to 19 years and divides adolescence into three psychosocial developmental phases:

  • Early adolescence: age 10-13 years
  • Middle adolescence: age 14-16 years
  • Late adolescence: age 17-19 years

Key Points

This social transformation from dependent child to independent person occurs differently in different cultures. Between the age of 7-14 years, the child manages the maximum social adjustment in this changeable and variable social world. The social characteristics of this period are-

  • Struggle with a sense of identity
  • Feel awkward about one’s self and one’s body; worry about being normal
  • Realize that parents are not perfect; increased conflict with parents
  • Increased influence of peer group
  • Desire for independence
  • The tendency to return to “childish” behaviour, particularly when stressed
  • Moodiness
  • Rule- and limit-testing
  • Greater interest in privacy

Thus from above-mentioned points, it is clear that between the age of 7-14 years the child manages the maximum social adjustment in this changeable and variable social world.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 17
Some children experience excessive anxiety at being away from home, even after a long period of time. What might they be suffering from?
Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

Anxiety disorders are characterized by fear, worry, or dread that greatly impairs the ability to function normally and that is disproportionate to the circumstances at hand.

Key Points

  • Separation anxiety is one of the most common types of anxiety disorder.
  • In this disorder, children worry constantly, when they are away from their parents and when at home they shadow one or both of their parents.
  • Although school refusal is the most common symptom of children with a separation anxiety disorder (75%), only one-third of all children who refuse to attend school do so because they have a separation anxiety disorder.
  • Since the start of school is usually the first circumstance that requires lengthy and frequent separation of children from their parents, separation anxiety is often the main cause of school phobia.

Additional Information

  • Anxiety may also result in physical symptoms.
  • One study found that 75 percent of children who have school refusal caused by separation anxiety have mothers who also avoided school during childhood.

Thus, it is concluded that some children experience excessive anxiety at being away from home, even after a long period of time. They might be suffering from separation anxiety.

  • Other symptoms, such as difficulty with nonverbal communication, lack of interest in peer relationships, delayed or absent language development, and restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities, must also be present.
  • Therefore, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or a mental health specialist who can assess the child's behaviour and provide an accurate diagnosis, if necessary.
  • Social communication and interaction deficits can manifest in a variety of ways, such as:
    • Difficulty with nonverbal communication, including gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice
    • Delayed or absent language development or difficulty initiating or maintaining conversations
    • Difficulty understanding and responding to social cues, such as facial expressions or body language
    • Lack of interest in making friends or socializing with peers

  • Piaget's theory describes how children actively construct knowledge and understanding of the world around them through their experiences.
  • Piaget's theory includes four stages: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational.

Hence, it can be concluded that neither of the statement is correct.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 20
Which among the following is NOT a classical language?
Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 20

India is a multilingual country with numerous languages and dialects. There are approximately 1652 languages and dialects that belong to different language families.

Key Points

  • Languages that have a long history, whose grammar has been the subject of many studies and in which much literature has been written are referred to as classical languages.
  • The classical languages are considered dead languages as they lose their importance in the modern world and their speakers shift to another language. A language becomes dead when the language has no more native speakers.
  • As per the requirements set by the Government of India in 2004, a language is accorded the status of "Classical Language of India" if it fulfills the following criteria:
    • It should have a recorded history of existing for over a period of 1500-2000 years.
    • It would have an original literature tradition and would not borrow anything from any other language family.
    • It should have some ancient literature or epics in it.
    • The language should be different from its modern/later forms.
  • Currently, there are six languages mentioned in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution that enjoy the "Classical" status in India that are Tamil (declared in 2004), Sanskrit (2005), Kannada (2008), Telugu (2008), Malayalam (2013), and Odia (2014).

Thus, it is concluded that Bengali is NOT a classical language.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 21

Bengali, also known as Bangla, is the official language of Bangladesh and is widely spoken in the Indian state of West Bengal and the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 250 million native speakers.Key Points

  • The Bengali language belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family, which is a branch of the larger Indo-European language family.
  • The Indo-Aryan family includes numerous languages spoken primarily in the Indian subcontinent, including languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Nepali.

Important Points Indian languages, languages spoken in the state of India, generally classified as belonging to the following families:

​Hence, we conclude that Bengali belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 22

Given below are two statements

Statement I: As per Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the child learns a language and begins to use symbols to represent objects during the pre-operational stage.

Statement II: As per Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the child learns through reflexes, senses and movement-actions on the environment during the formal operational stage.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the .Both Statement I and Statement II are false options given below

Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 22

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of a child. The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use it.

Key Points

Statement I: As per Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the child learns a language and begins to use symbols to represent objects during the pre-operational stage.

  • This statement is true. The preoperational stage, which occurs from about 2 to 7 years old, is characterized by the child's development of symbolic thought.
  • Children begin to use language and other symbols to represent objects, ideas, and events. They also become more capable of thinking about the past and the future.

Statement II: As per Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the child learns through reflexes, senses, and movement-actions on the environment during the formal operational stage.

  • This statement is false. The formal operational stage, which occurs from about 11 or 12 years old to adulthood, is characterized by the development of abstract thought.
  • Children can now think about hypothetical situations, consider multiple perspectives, and solve problems in a logical and systematic way. They are also no longer egocentric and can understand the thoughts and feelings of others.

Therefore, the correct answer is Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 23
How would you prove that 'evaporation causes cold'? This statement is related to the teaching-learning of which subject in the primary class?
Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 23

Evaporation cause cold during the process of evaporation the water changes into vapour form, this vapour helps in cooling by absorbing the energy of the surface.

Key Points

  • To prove that evaporation causes cooling in the primary class, It is better to show the student by the demonstration method
  • Where children will see the changing of the form of water and the changes caused by the evaporation
  • This statement is related to the teaching and learning of Environmental studies in the primary class.

Hence, we can conclude that the given statement is related to the teaching-learning of Environmental studies subject.

Additional Information

  • In the primary class, there is no distinction between social science and science they are together taught as the Environmental Science
DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 24

Which of the following are essential elements of Cooperative Learning?

A. students work in groups.

B. students share in groups.

C. students compete positively with others in groups.

D. students support each other in groups.

Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 24
Cooperative learning is a set of teaching strategies used to help learners meet specific learning and interpersonal goals in structured groups.Key Points
Features of cooperative learning:
  • It helps the learners to achieve two types of goals, i.e. learning goals and interpersonal goals. This implies that cooperative learning is conducive to the improvement of students' learning achievement as well as for the development of interpersonal skills.
  • The members hold common aims or ideals, which to some extent bind them together. The achievement of aims is presumably one of the rewards.
  • Cooperative learning takes place in structured groups, that is, the groups which are formed in a planned and systematic manner.
  • The members influence and respond to each other in the process of communicating, whether they are face-to-face or otherwise deployed. The sense of "group" exists even when members are not collected in the same place.
    Members also have healthy competition with each other where they actively participate in the process of learning and acquisition of knowledge.

Hence, C & D are the correct answers.

Hint On the other hand, the options A & B are also essential ones but they are less essential as compared to the other 2 options because they just provide a general view of cooperative learning.

  3. ‘Curricular Areas, School Stages and Assessment’
  4. ‘School and Classroom Environment’
  5. ‘Systemic Reforms’

Important Points‘Curricular Areas, School Stages and Assessment’

  • Language - Skills of language such as speaking and listening, reading and writing across the school subjects and disciplines need to be practiced.
  • Mathematics - Provide scope to students about Mathematics as a discipline, because at the secondary stage, students begin to perceive the structure of Mathematics as a discipline.
  • Science - The language of Science teaching along with the content and process needs to be commensurate with the age and cognitive abilities of the learners
  • Social Science - To focus on an interdisciplinary approach to learning History, Geography, Economics, Sociology, and Political Science and dealing with the key national concerns such as gender, justice, human rights, and sensitivity towards the marginalized groups and minorities.
  • Work School curricula - from the pre-primary stage to the senior secondary stage need to be reconstructed to realize the pedagogic potential of work as a pedagogic medium in knowledge acquisition, developing values, and multiple skill formation.
  • Art Education - Folk and classical forms of Music and Dance, Visual Arts, Puppetry, Clay Work, Theatre Art and Heritage Crafts should be recognized as integral components of the school curriculum.
  • Peace Education - Peace-oriented values should be promoted in all subjects throughout the school years with the help of relevant activities. Peace education should form a component of teacher education.
  • Yoga, Health, and Physical Education - It is very important for the overall development of learners. Through health and physical education programs (including yoga), it may be possible to handle successfully the issues of enrolment, retention, and completion of school.

Hence, all the above three options Art, Physical, and Peace Education draw the attention of NCF 2005

Detailed Solution for DSSSB PRT Mock Test - 1 - Question 28

Educational philosophy allows new ideas and knowledge to enter Rabindranath Tagore's mind from all directions in order to fit them all into the Indian scheme of things and culture

  • He believed in education that was deeply rooted in one’s immediate surroundings but connected to the cultures of the wider world, predicated upon pleasurable learning and individualized to the personality of the child.
  • Tagore's own educational system had its implication in the field of natural education.
  • For him, education should take the children nearer to nature, and being a spiritualist.
  • His educational philosophy was based on three cardinals principal: Freedom and joy for the children in creative self-expression and active communion of man and nature.
  • According to Tagore, education based on three sources i.e. nature, life, and teacher. Among them, nature can be considered as the generous donor but the sensitivity of the child and its respective power is to be enkindled by independent and creative thinking and this hard job belongs to the teacher.

Key PointsThe correct set of four fundamental principles of Rabindranath Tagore's educational philosophy:

Naturalism:

  • It was developed in the 18th century. It is based on the assumption that nature represents the wholeness of reality.
  • Nature, itself, is a total system that contains and explains all existence including human beings and human nature.
  • According to naturalists the material and the physical world are governed by certain laws, and man, who is the creator of the material world, must submit to it.
  • It denies the existence of anything beyond nature, behind nature and other than nature such as supernaturalism.
  • The naturalistic philosophy of education is as old as the idealistic philosophy of education as it lays emphasis upon nature in every field of education.
  • The naturalistic philosophers of education derive the aims and ideals, the means the methods of teaching, and the principles of curriculum and school management from nature.


Idealism:

  • The idealists believe that the soul is immortal, the world of ideas is the real world and this world of ideas is not the world of senses. The mind possesses the important power of thought.
  • This school of thought gives importance to ‘Ideas’ and ‘Ideologies’ and accordingly, imposes a strict discipline in curriculum development and uses teacher-centered methods in the implementation of the curriculum.

Humanism

  • It is another important school of thought.
  • It emphasized nature and the basic goodness of human beings, understanding through the senses and education as a gradual and leisurely procedure in which the progress of human character follows the unfolding of nature.


Internationalism:

  • An ardent lover of humanity must realize the spiritual unity of mankind and work for the realization of international collaboration.
  • Bonds of love must result in international unity. Tagore wrote that “mankind must realize a unity, wider in a range, deeper in sentiment, stronger in power than ever before”. He refuted the idea that “East is East, West is West; never the twain shall meet”; and in fact, he changed these words of Kipling into this.

Socialism is not among the four fundamental principles of Rabindranath Tagore's educational philosophy.
