TS TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 6 (Social Science) - TS TET MCQ

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist and a social constructivist. He has propounded 'Socio-cultural Theory' which emphasizes the role of social interaction in cognitive development.

• Lev Vygotsky emphasized that the acquisition of speech is the major activity in cognitive development. 
• Vygotsky embedded in this theory, the concept of 'private speech' which is a kind of speech directed to the self with no communicative function.
• Children use private speech to guide their actions by speaking to themselves.

Private Speech:

• It refers to the speech produced aloud by young children that seem to be addressed either to the self or others, which sometimes cannot be easily conceived by a listener.
• It has a significant role in the augmentation of the self and self-consciousness. It is the main aspect in the development of self and subjectivity.
• This phenomenon starts in the early years of life and proceeds to the end of adolescence and even later.

So, from the points, as mentioned above, it becomes clear that the above-mentioned kind of 'private speech' is a sign of Self-regulation.

The socialization of a child is determind by sociometry techniques. Sociometric techniques are methods that qualitatively measure aspects of social interactions, such as social acceptance (i.e., how well a person is liked by peers) and social status (i.e., a child's social status compared to peers). 

In psychology, coping means to invest own conscious effort, to solve personal and interpersonal problems, in order to try to master, minimize or tolerate stress and conflict. Revolution does not belong to the category of coping strategies.

All of these techniques can be used to motivate the students of a class.

Private speech is speech spoken to oneself for communication, self-guidance, and self-regulation of behaviour. Children from two to about seven years old can be observed engaging in private speech. Although it is audible, it is neither intended for nor directed at others.

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’.

Emotional Development: It is one of major aspects of human development. Emotions like love, anger, fear, etc. play a great role in the development of a child’s personality. It can be expressed in various ways, like facial expressions on the face, like gestures, like volume and tone of speech, by the behavioral display or motives of a person. There is no moment in our life when we do not experience emotions. They can result from a variety of external or internal stimulations.

Assessment plays a significant role in the teaching-learning process. Assessment of learning helps a teacher to design his/her teaching in a better way and to know the attainment level of learners in the subject content. Assessment for learning directly influences student learning by reinforcing the connections between assessment and instruction.

• It could be a bi-party government and need not be a popular government and can instead be a monarchy. Hence, Option 2 and 3 are NOT correct.

In education, scaffolding refers to a variety of instructional techniques used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and, ultimately, greater independence in the learning process. The term itself offers the relevant descriptive metaphor: teachers provide successive levels of temporary support that help students reach higher levels of comprehension, and skill acquisition that they would not be able to achieve without assistance.

According to Thomas Markham, Project based learning (PBL) integrates knowing and doing. Students learn knowledge and elements of the core curriculum, but also apply what they know to solve authentic problems and produce results that matter. PBL students take advantage of digital tools to produce high quality, collaborative products. Thomas M. Risk suggests productive projects for secondary schools.

In educational settings, questions are used to encourage recall of previous knowledge, and understanding of speech, and to promote critical thinking. Questioning should be used to achieve clearly defined objectives. When a student is trying to develop their critical thinking skills, a teacher should ask them questions that will encourage them to do so.

• Bonded labour is a practise in which companies give employees who work for little pay high-interest loans to help them pay off the obligation.
• The payment of wages that are less than the going market rate and the minimum wage required by law has been defined as bonded labour by the Supreme Court of India. Historically, bonded labour was connected to rural economies where peasants from underprivileged neighbourhoods were forced to work for the landlords.
• In unorganised industries including brick kilns, stone quarries, coal mines, agricultural labour, domestic servitude, circuses, and sexual slavery, bonded labour is discovered to occur in both rural and urban pockets.
• In India, bonded labour is illegal under the Constitution's Articles 21 and 23. The Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, a special piece of legislation passed in 1976, was the first to outlaw the practise.
• The State Governments are responsible for taking actions against bonded labour employers in accordance with the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act of 1976.

The social sciences include a wide range of topics that address various societal issues and draw knowledge from history, geography, political science, economics, and sociology. 

• A social studies curriculum without history is incomplete. History explains how social, economic, and political institutions were created as well as how the past changed into the present.

Science as a discipline has its unique perspective. Science is not limited to observation, experimentation, and analysis only; rather it is a way of life. Science is an expanding body of knowledge through the process of inquiry.

Social Science includes a body of knowledge, that deals with social and cultural aspects of human life. It is the study of the concepts or issues like culture, tradition, lifestyles, places, environment, power and authority, governance, economy, civic sense, etc. which have social implications.

Social Science is a branch of science that deals with human behavior and social relationships, which rely primarily on empirical approaches.
Site, formation, and space is a prime necessity for a Social Science classroom as the right combination of these elements:

• introduces a new dimension to educational experiences.
• improves learning by making it more constant and enlivening.
• makes the classroom a place free of distraction and disruption.
• gives exposure to real-life experiences.

Hence, we conclude that site, formation, and space are the prime necessity for a Social Science classroom.

Blooms Taxonomy: 

• The Blooms Taxonomy is a hierarchical classification of the cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor domains, and each domain includes some learning goals that can support both teacher instruction and student learning.
