TS TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - TS TET MCQ

The stage of creative problem solving in which the individuals do not give attention to the problem is incubation.
Graham Wallas (1926) outlined the creative thinking process into four stages:

• Preparation: It involves collecting information regarding a problem in order to solve it through trial and error, recalling personal experiences, and investigating in all possible directions.
• Incubation: It is a slow process in which the individual sinks into the unconscious and reflects on the problem. In this stage, individuals forget irrelevant information or unsuccessful attempts and engage with the task effectively.
• Illumination: It is the stage the individual is most active and conscious. It is in this stage that an insight to the problem is experienced suddenly and a new idea or solution emerges.
• Verification: This stage might involve modifications to the solution reached in the previous stage by adding or subtracting, or making new connections. The final solution achieved is tested in reality. If the solution does not apply to the problem then the whole process is repeated.

Socialization may be defined more comprehensively as a life-long process of inculcation whereby an individual learns the principles, values, and symbols of the social system in which he participates and the expression of those values and norms in the roles he enacts. 

John Dewey, an American philosopher has proposed the concept of 'Progressive Education' which emphasizes that learning takes place only through 'hands-on' approach so the students must interact with their environment to adapt and learn.
Belief in the capability and potential of every child is central to the concept of progressive education as it promotes: 

• emphasizes to enhance skills and understanding of the learners by engaging with the contents and experiences.
• promotes 'learning by doing' to make children self-reliant and productive to use their knowledge and talents effectively.
• ensures the active participation of students by working in a group and applying practical knowledge to complete an activity.

So, it could be concluded that belief in the capability and potential of every child is central to the concept of progressive education.

Questioning Skills refer to one’s ability to formulate and respond to questions about situations, objects, concepts, and ideas. Questions may derive from oneself or from other people. There are low-level questions and high-level questions. Low-level questions require one to recall information that has been registered in memory. They operate on the individual’s level of knowledge of a subject. Higher-level questions require one to process information rather than simply recall it. Guideline(s) to Enhance Questioning Skills Among Children in the Classroom:

• Create an atmosphere of trust and encourage questions.
• Encourage divergent questions.
• Respond in an encouraging way.
• Model good questioning skills.
• Reduce the number of questions that can be answered by only “yes” or “no.”
• Do not stop the discussion with the right answer.
• Increase wait-time between asking and answering questions to at least five seconds.
• Provide good halting times.
• Develop sensitive listening techniques.
• Develop silent time.
• Appreciate questions that are appropriate to the developmental level.
• Ask them to come up with their own student questions in the lesson, quiz, or assignments.
• Have interesting topics of discussion.

Therefore, we conclude that all the above points are guidelines to enhance questioning skills among children in the classroom.

Let the units digit of the original number be 'u'.
Let the tens digit be 'a'.
Thus, hundreds digit is 7 + u.The number is 100(7 + u) + 10a + u.
The number on being reversed is 100u + 10a + 7 + u.
The difference is 100(7 + u) + 10a + u - (100u + 10a + 7 + u).
= 700 + 100u + 10a + u - 7 - u - 10a - 100u = 693
Thus, the units digit of the number so obtained is 3.
Hence, option (4) is correct.
