OTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 2 - OTET MCQ

In order to avoid gender stereotyping in class, a teacher should try to put both boys and girls on non-traditional roles. A teacher should take care of each child irrespective of their gender. He/she should ensure the students' maximum potential. Everyone has the right to education. A teacher should ensure that his/her students derive maximum benefit from education.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Try to put both boys and girls in non-traditional roles.'

Adolescence is a phase of life of a person when he is no more a child and not yet an adult. Life is full of tremendous energy. Curiosity and experimentation at one time pave the path to success and at another, may cause uncertainty. 

Arnold Gesell gives the Maturational Theory. He explained that mature is a genetic factor, and it plays an important role in children's development; the influence of the environment is not more important than genes. Children take birth by genes; their habits are like their parents, their sitting posture, how they eat, how they walk, etc., all depends on their parents. He believes that development is a biological process that occurs automatically in sequential stages, which means genes play an important role in developing a child.
Hence, the correct answer is "Maturational Theory".

Mainstreaming and inclusion are the parts of the pedagogical response.

• Mainstreaming is the practice of educating students with disabilities in the same general education classrooms as students without disabilities to the maximum extent appropriate.
• Inclusion is a more comprehensive approach to educating students with disabilities that goes beyond mainstreaming. It involves the full participation of students with disabilities in all aspects of school life, including the general education curriculum, extracurricular activities, and social events.
• Pedagogical integration refers to the process of incorporating different instructional strategies, approaches, and methodologies into teaching and learning practices.

Cognition is defined as the act of gaining knowledge through senses, thought and know-how.

Critical thinking is clear, rational, and disciplined. The thinker is open to reorganizing and raising the efficiency of his thought process by reflecting on them. 
Creating a forum for students to debate points of view:

• A debate is an organized argument or idea in which the participants discuss a topic.
• It allows students to analyze arguments, evidence, and ideas.
• It broadens critical thinking skills.
• Critical thinking skill is the ability to identify the central issue or the unifying theme and the possible assumptions of an argument.
• In debate, students put their points of view in front of each other which develops their critical thinking skills.

Thus, it is concluded that creating a forum for students to debate points of view is the best strategy that supports a teacher’s goal to incorporate critical thinking skills into language arts lessons.

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.

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.

अनुच्छेद के आधार पर यह स्पष्ट होता है कि जिन बच्चों को रोज़मर्रा की जिंदगी में इस तरह के सवालों से जूझना पड़ता है, वे अपने लिए जरूरी गणितीय क्षमता हासिल कर लेते है ।

पाठ पढ़ने-पढ़ाने के बाद बच्चों से प्रश्न करने से यह ज्ञात होता है, कि अधिगम के दौरान वह कितना सक्रिय थे? और उनके द्वारा अधिगम की कितनी बातों को ग्रहण किया गया? यही कारण है कि पाठ पढ़ाने के बाद, ‘यदि, तो’ वाले प्रश्न या पाठ से संबंधित उनके निजी अनुभवों को व्यक्त करने वाले प्रश्नों या ‘क्या शिक्षा मिलती है’ जैसे प्रश्नों को छात्रों से पूछा जाना चाहिए। ताकि उनकी विचार ग्रहण करने और विचारों को बोलकर अभिव्यक्त करने की योग्यता का पता लगाया जा सके।
अतः ''क्यों', 'कैसे' वाले प्रश्न'' इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

वैस कार्य जिसमें भाषा का आदान-प्रदान मुख से होता है। भाषा शिक्षण में मौखिक कार्य को प्रधानता देनी चाहिए।  शाब्दिक या मौखिक संचार से तात्पर्य बोल-चाल के माध्यम से संदेश को व्यक्त करना है। यह व्यक्तियों के बीच संचार का सामना करने के लिए आमने-सामने है और इसमें टेलीफोन, इंटरकॉम और सार्वजनिक भाषण आदि के माध्यम से संचार शामिल है। प्रत्येक संगठन में, सूचनाओं का एक बड़ा आदान-प्रदान मौखिक रूप से किया जाता है और यह आमतौर पर लिखित संचार से अधिक पसंद किया जाता है। 
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

'बादल', 'आसमान','चिड़िया', 'बच्चे' आदि ' संज्ञा शब्दों का प्र​योग करते हुए एक कहानी लिखने से बच्चाें की भाषिक क्षमता के आकलन उचित तरीके से होती है।

प्राथमिक स्तर पर भाषा शिक्षण के लिए 'शब्दों और घटनाओं की पुनरावृति का साहित्य' उचित रहता है।  भाषा शिक्षण का शैक्षिक स्थल सर्वप्रथम स्कूल होता है स्कूल में अन्य विषयों के साथ अन्य भाषा शिक्षण की व्यवस्था की जाती है किसी भी भाषा को सीखना उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण कार्य जितना की अन्य विषयों की जानकारी प्राप्त करना सरकारी गैर सरकारी और पब्लिक स्कूलों में 1 से अधिक भाषाओं का ज्ञान दिया जाता है सरकारी स्कूलों में जहाँ और अंग्रेजी भाषा के ज्ञान पर ही अधिक बल दिया जाता है वहीं पब्लिक स्कूलों में हिंदी और अंग्रेजी भाषा सिखाई जाती हैं विद्यार्थी के व्यक्तित्व के विकास के लिए आवश्यक भी हो जाती हैं भूमंडलीकरण के इस दौर में व्यक्ति नहीं रह सकता उसे कभी ना कभी कहीं ना कहीं एक स्थान से दूसरे स्थान पर जाना पड़ सकता है। 
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

बड़े पत्रकार फैंसी जीवनशैली के आदी हो गए हैं।
सन्दर्भ पंक्ति -  बड़े पत्रकार मोटा वेतन लेते हैं और इसी वजह से वे फैंसी जीवनशैली के आदी हो गए हैं। 
मीडिया क्या है? - 

• सामान्य रूप से, “मीडिया” संचार के विभिन्न साधनों को संदर्भित करता है। उदाहरण के लिए, टेलीविजन, रेडियो और समाचार पत्र मीडिया के विभिन्न प्रकार हैं। इस शब्द को प्रेस या समाचार रिपोर्टिंग एजेंसियों के लिए सामूहिक संज्ञा के रूप में भी इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। कंप्यूटर दुनिया में, “मीडिया” को सामूहिक संज्ञा के रूप में भी प्रयोग किया जाता है, लेकिन विभिन्न प्रकार के डेटा स्टोरेज विकल्पों को संदर्भित करता है।

The 'crystalline darkness' is lit up by the stars only. The speaker will become moon and guide his friend if his eyes are upon the stars only in the crystalline darkness, 'If your eye's upon the stars/in the crystalline darkness' Due to different crystal alignments and interaction of the beam used to image the material, the reflective bits appear variously light and dark.

The annual flood is a major problem in most of the villages of Brazil. During the Black River floods, the homemade soccer fields get submerged in the water but it does not stop the players from playing the game. They have found other places such as the community center, the dock of a restaurant, and a ferry boat for playing football. So, floods do not stop children from playing football.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Black River is no threat to the game of football'.

The poet contrasts beautiful and scary as is evident in the lines “The woods are lovely, dark and deep”. Green means, in this context, full of vegetation. Snowy means covered in snow. Windy means exposed to strong winds. Hence the wood in winters is beautiful but also scary.

Question tags turn a statement into a question. They are used for checking information that the speaker thinks is true. If the auxiliary verb in the main clause is positive, the question tag is negative and if the auxiliary verb in the main clause is negative, the question tag is positive.
The auxiliary verb used in the given sentence is 'don't', which is negative, hence, the question tag used will be 'do you'.
The complete sentence is: You don't smoke, do you?

This is the correct spelling. My friend and I have different hobbies.This is the correct sentence.

Concept used:
The total angle made at the centre of the pie chart is 360° 
Calculation:
Number of students playing volley Ball = 48
Total number of students = 50 + 48 + 60 + 22 = 180
The measure of central angle representing the students playing volley Ball = (48/180) × 360° = 96° 
∴ The angle made by the volleyball playing student is 96°.

Here, the teacher is developing a lesson and taking students 'from concrete to abstract concept'.

From a psychological point of view, the dominant model of human learning is of the child as an information processor, attempting to derive meaning from experience by subjecting it to several modes of processing like classification or categorisation of new information and relating those to the existing experiences to derive meaning. There are three main features of the human information processing system which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

• Learning by induction: As human beings, we appear to be very able to engage in the process of induction (inferring general rules or patterns from a range of particular cases), but relatively less well-equipped for deductive reasoning (the opposite process of inferring particular cases from the general rule). Inductive reasoning is the basic process whereby children can easily make sense of their world by classifying and categorising experience into increasingly structured conceptual structures and models.
• Limited ‘working memory’ capacity: While teaching mathematics we usually are not aware that human being has a limited capacity of processing information. For example, Miller has demonstrated from a whole range of evidence that we hold only about seven separate pieces of information in our short-term or ‘working’ memory. We know the procedures we must go through to get the answer to the second sum, and we can carry out each of the separate computations involved. What we cannot do is hold all the information in our head at once. While we are working out one part, the result of the previous computation is very likely to be forgotten. This happens all the time for children with much smaller numbers and less complicated procedures.
• Development of metacognitive awareness and control: The third general feature of the human processing system which we must consider is that it is a system that not only learns but learns how to learn. When one is aware of his/ her ways of thinking or learning, what the American psychologist has termed ‘meta-cognition’, he/she acquires more ability to control over his/her actions and learning.

It should be noted that the questions asks for 'young children', while axioms and postulates are introduced after the secondary stage.
Hence, we conclude that the human information processing system does not have an understanding of axioms and postulates which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

In statistics, a frequency distribution is a list, table or graph that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample

Calculation:
Total number of students obtained marks between 12 to 18 = 9
Total number of students obtained marks between 18 to 24 = 12
∴ Total number of students obtained marks between 12 to 24 = 9 + 12 = 21

Environment Studies is a subject that is concerned with the development of learner's awareness about environmental issues. Children actively construct their own knowledge and understanding of the world by observing and interacting with the real content and situation. 

Kurt Lewin was a well known magnetic analyst who is presently seen as the father of social brain research. Lewin explains the individual behaviour on the basis of life-space. An individual's life-space depends on his psychological force. It includes the person; his drives, tensions, thoughts and his environment, which consists of perceived objects and events.

As coconut and tapioca require a humid climate to grow, and Kerala is a place that is covered with high humidity. It is the warmest region in India. High humidity makes the weather pleasant sometimes. Hence, Kerala is a place where people grow eatables such as tapioca and coconut in their courtyards, and they find food prepared using these to be very tasty.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Kerala.'

The Palk Strait is a strait between Tamil Nadu (India) and the Mannar area of the northern province of Sri Lanka.

Thus, S1 is true and S2 is false

Quality of nutrition, culture and quality of education are the environmental factors that shape the development of a child. The physique of a child is not developed due to an environmental factor. Environmental factors are all those external agents that influence the growth and development of an individual. The study of environmental influences on human physical growth and development has focused on the influences of social and economic factors, family and household characteristics, urbanization/modernization and nutrition.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Physique.'

A Shooting star is a Meteorid that catches fire as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. A shooting star is a piece of rock or metal that burns very brightly when it enters the Earth's atmosphere from space. From the Earth, it looks like a bright star, which travels very fast across the sky.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Meteorid which catches fire as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.'
