Bruner's theory is a general framework for instruction based upon the study of cognition. The main aim was that instruction should be designed to facilitate extrapolation and/or fill in the gaps.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of students' development.

• CCE was introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India to evaluate the student’s development in all aspects throughout the academic year on a continuous basis.
• The objective of CCE is to make evaluation an integral part of learning through diagnostic and remedial teaching.
• CCE helps improve student’s performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular intervals right from the beginning of the academic session and employing suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance.

CCE describes two different types of evaluations which include summative and formative assessment/evaluation.

• "Summative Evaluation", commonly known as  "Assessment of Learning" is a type of evaluation which:
  • measures, certifies, and reports the level of students' learning by assessing them at the end of the term.
  • produces an accurate description of students' potential and achievement to promote them to the next grades.
• "Formative evaluation", commonly known as "Assessment for Learning" is a type of evaluation which: 
  • monitor the child's progress throughout the teaching-learning process and improve students' academic achievements.
  • diagnoses and removes the learning difficulties of students with appropriate strategies.

So, it becomes clear that Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation includes both formative and summative assessments using a wide variety of strategies.

Education would be meaningful only then when it would be student/child-centred. Education is referred to as child-centred education when it gives preference to a child's needs, interests & aptitudes.

The adverse effect of insisting on the same answers from all children will hinder the growth of the child's own understanding and imagination. Cognitive powers of a child, like imagination power, intelligence, ability to make a decision, etc. are related to the child's 'mental development' as mental development refers to the development of the ability to understand, learn, reason, think, perceive, and solve a problem.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Focussing too much on the result will actually have an adverse effect and will add to the anxiety quotient. Focussing on process rather than outcome is a much better strategy.

Motivation refers to those factors which increase or decrease an individual's vigor for some activity. Motivation is something that energizes and directs behavior.

If a previously learned task impedes a new task, which is being learnt. This transfer of learning will be negative transfer.
Transfer of learning is the process of applying or carrying over the knowledge, skills, habits, attitudes or other responses from one learning situation, in which they were initially acquired, to a different learning situation. 
Negative Transfer-

• There are cases in which the previous learning interferes with subsequent learning.
• In such cases, the carryover of knowledge or experience in one task interferes with further learning.
• As a result of negative transfer, performance on one task may block performance on the subsequent task.
• For example, a child’s experience in learning the plural of ‘house’ may inhibit his/her learning the plural of the word ‘mouse’. He/She may spell the plural of the word ‘mouse’ as ‘mouses’, instead of ‘mice’.

According to Piaget’s cognitive theory of learning, identify the process among the following by "Accommodation" the cognitive structure is modified.
There is accommodation when a child either modifies an existing schema or forms an entirely new schema to deal with a new object or event. This concept was developed by Jean Piaget, a Swiss developmental psychologist who is best known for this theory of cognitive development in children.

बहुभाषिकता: भिन्न-भिन्न प्रांतों के बच्चों द्वारा अलग-अलग प्रकार की भाषा बोले जाने को भाषायी विविधता या बहु-भाषिकता कहा जाता है। बहु-भाषिकता भारत की संस्कृति का अभिन्न अंग है।

भाषा मुख से उच्चारित होने वाली वह ध्वनि है जिसका प्रयोग मनुष्य अपने मन के विचारों का आदान-प्रदान करने के लिए करता है। यह बच्चों में दक्षता के साथ सहज अभिव्यक्ति के विकास को सुनिश्चित करता है।
भाषा एक औजार है जिसका उपयोग निम्न रूप से किया जाता है:

• जिंदगी के अनुभवों को साझा करने के लिए
• भाषा जिंदगी से जुड़ने के लिए सहायक है  
• भाषा जिंदगी को समझने के लिए उपयोगी है 
• भाषा जीवन जगत को प्रस्तुत करने के लिए सहायक है 
• जीवन संबंधी मनन और विचार शक्ति के विकास के लिए

अतः हम कह सकते है कि भाषा कठोरता से व्‍याकरणिक नियमों का अनुसरण करती है, कथन भाषा की प्रकृति के सम्‍बन्‍ध में उचित नहीं है।

The teacher is doing task-based language teaching.
The Task-Based Approach (TBA) has gained popularity in the field of language teaching since the last decade of the 20th Century. Task-based language teaching:- It is teaching where the planning and teaching depend on a task.

• In this case, the teacher is asking to present a short presentation for a vacation. So, it is based on a particular task.
• Task-based learning is especially conducive to group learning. Learning a language as a group is also a very important contributor to effective retention. Collaborating with others and becoming confident with the language within a group is a key step in acquiring that language.
• Task-based learning uses a lesson structure that incorporates different activities to solve a task. The task can span the length of an entire lesson or, if it’s project-based learning, it can take up several lessons to complete.

Thus, it is concluded that a teacher asks students she plans a vacation they’re going to take together as a group, and then after coming from vacation they will do a short presentation about it to the class, or submit a written assignment or video explaining it. The teacher is doing Task-based language teaching.

Azure is a variation of sky blue colour.

Erstwhile means old or of the past. So, former is a synonym of erstwhile. Renowned means famous. Large means big or huge. Present is opposite in meaning to erstwhile. 

Here, erratic means unpredictable.

An inclusive classroom is part of inclusive education that is an approach to educate all children who are at risk for neglect in the education system. It expects that all learners learn together through access to common educational provisions.

A fresh solution of sodium hydroxide is prepared in a test tube by dissolving 3-4 pellets of it in 5 ml of water. A piece of aluminium foil is dropped into it. A burning match stick is brought near the mouth of the test tube. Then, a pop sound comes. As before, the 'pop' sound indicates the presence of hydrogen gas. Metals react with sodium hydroxide to produce hydrogen gas. So, burning match stick extinguishes.

Given:
83¹⁷ + 52¹⁷ + 84¹⁷ + 53¹⁷ is divided by 68
Concept used:
aⁿ + bⁿ is divided by (a + b) when n is an odd number.
Calculation:
83¹⁷ + 52¹⁷ + 84¹⁷ + 53¹⁷
= (83¹⁷ + 53¹⁷) + (52¹⁷ + 84¹⁷)
Here, n = 17 is an odd number
Also, 83 + 53 = 52 + 84 = 136
The whole number is divisible by 136
So, the whole number is divisible by 68  [∵ 136 = 68 × 2]
Since the whole number is divisible by 68 the remainder must be 0
∴ The remainder is 0.

4x² + 12xy – 8x + 9y² – 12y
= (2x)² + 12xy – 8x + (3y)² – 12y
= (2x)² + 12xy + (3y)² - 8x - 12y
= (2x + 3y)² - 4(2x + 3y)
= (2x + 3y)(2x + 3y - 4) = (ax + by)(ax + by - 4)
On comparing we get, a = 2 and b = 3
So, a² + b² = 2² + 3² = 4 + 9 = 13

Transfer of Heat:

• Heat transfer mainly takes place due to temperature differences.
• There are 3 ways of transferring heat: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.

Conduction:

• Conduction is the phenomenon of the transfer of heat in the solid medium in which the molecules of the solid vibrate without any permanent displacement.

Convection:

• Convection is the phenomenon of the transfer of heat in the fluid medium in which a layer of the molecules shifts from maximum temperature to minimum temperature.

Radiation:

• Radiation is the phenomenon of the transfer of heat in which no medium is required.

Explanation:

• Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules.
• Conduction occurs when two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other.
• This process continues until heat energy from the warmer object spreads throughout the cooler object, like the heat from the milk spreading throughout the metal spoon dipped in it.

Therefore, a cold steel spoon is dipped in a cup of hot milk, then its other end becomes hot by the process of conduction.

Assessment is the process of gathering information with regard to abilities, interests, aptitudes, personality, attitude, and beliefs. It is an integral part of day-to-day life and is one of the essential works of the counselor.

The topic 'Separation of Substances' in Class VI can be taught most effectively by using hands on activities to be performed by students.

• The mineral acids are also known as strong acids.
• They readily dissolve in water and release H⁺ ions.
• The examples of mineral acids are hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, Hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid etc.
• Ciric acid is obtained from citrus fruits.
• It is an organic acid.
• It is a weak acid and not does not release protons readily in water.
• Thus, citric acid is not a mineral acid based on its source.

Objectivity means looking at the things without any biases, prejudices or discrimination. It can be developed by understanding the importance and use of evidence.

• It includes open to others’ ideas and should respect others point of view based on sound logic
