UP TET Paper 1 Mock Test - 6 - UPTET MCQ

One of the goals of education is to develop independent learning in students. However, at times, students might need a little push from the teacher in order to achieve that independence. Scaffolding is a technique that helps during such a scenario.

Action research in education can be defined as the process of studying a school situation to understand and improve the quality of the educative process. It is an attractive option for teacher researchers, school administrative staff, and other stakeholders in the teaching and learning environment to consider. . It provides practitioners with new knowledge and understanding about how to improve educational practices or resolve significant problems in classrooms and school. 

A disorder is a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions. It may be caused by genetic factors, disease, or trauma.

Playing games along with studies in school is very important for the physical growth and balance of the children. It also develops in them qualities like cooperation and spirit of teamwork to work with each other.

Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development focuses on linguistic, social and cultural development in his theories but does not focus on biological development. It is because of social interactions or imaginative plays, cognitive development takes place in the children. He believes that socialization starts with the schools and communities that engage children in discovering and exploring new things. Hence, the correct answer is, 'Biological.'

A learning disability in motor skills is called dyspraxia. It is a developmental disorder that affects the brain and marked by clumsiness in movement. Children with dyspraxia show poor balance, poor posture, fatigue, perception problems poor hand-eye coordination, etc. There is no certain reason for this disability but also new studies suggest that it is due to the undeveloped neuron.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Dyspraxia'.

Educational institutions are not the only place where learning takes place. Learning takes place in varied and multiple social contexts.

Jean Piaget has proposed four stages in his cognitive development theory. The First stage is the sensorimotor stage which occurs from birth to 2 years, second is the pre-operational stage which occurs from 2 to 7 years of age, the third is the concrete operational stage which occurs from 7 to 11 years of age. This is the stage when a child begins to think logically about objects and events. Last is the formal operational stage which occurs above 12 years of age.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Concrete operational stage.'

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation emphasises how learning can be observed, recorded and improved upon. In this scheme, the term 'continuous' is meant to emphasise that evaluation of identified aspects of students' growth and development is a continuous process rather than an event, built into the total teaching-learning process and spread over the entire span of academic session. It means regularity of assessment, frequency of unit testing, diagnosis of learning gaps, use of corrective measures, retesting and feedback of evidence to teachers and students for their self-evaluation.

Questioning refers to the most effective strategy to arise curiosity and inquisitiveness too. Asking questions makes the classroom ambiance more interactive.
In the class, questioning by students should be encouraged as it could enhance their cognitive competencies in the following ways:

• Questions take learning forward by interactions and lead to conceptual clarity.
• Questions inspire learners to look out for information that aligns with their pursuits and might consequently promote lifelong learning.
• Questioning boosts their confidence-up, makes them able to put forth their views, and helps the children to make the best of their educational experiences.​
• Asking questions allows learners to link between various pieces of information which can assist them in structuring essays and debates.

​Hence, it could be concluded that the technique of 'classroom questioning' in the teaching-learning process can be used for arousing curiosity.

सीखने का स्थानांतरण सीखी गयी क्रिया का अन्य परिस्थिति में प्रयोग कहलाता है। चूँकि जब किसी सीखी गई चीजों को अन्य लोगों या अन्य परिस्थितियों में प्रयोग करते हैं, तो वहाँ ज्ञान और शिक्षा का स्थानांतरण एवं ज्ञान में बढ़ोत्तरी होती है। जैसे- जब हम पर्यावरणीय चीजों को देखते हैं  तो उससे  भी  ज्ञान अर्जित होता है। 
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

कुछ कहा जा रहा हो उससे कहीं महत्त्वपूर्ण होता है अपनी बात कहने का तरीक़ा।
लेखिका के अनुसार अपनी बात कहने के संदर्भ में सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण बात कहने का तरीक़ा है।

The answer is stated in the line “ A daily newspaper edited and printed by the Scotland Yard contains particulars of persons `wanted' by the police with detailed descriptions of criminals and their photographs.”   It means that Scotland Yard provides to the press and publishers all the necessary information of the person who is being alleged as a criminal.

When a teacher starts teaching a new language, it is taught with the sentences beginning with 's' instead of initial sounds blends because for effective communication the students must read the same set of grammar rules, syntax, format, vocabulary, structures, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is Grammar is an important basis of communication.

The aim of mechanical drills is to improve the accuracy of the learners. Mechanical drill basically refers to a controlled practice activity which students can successfully carry out without necessarily understanding the language they are using. Examples of this kind of activity would be repetition drills and substitution drills designed to practice use of particular grammatical or other items. Activities of this kind are of limited value in developing communicative language use.

Vocabulary refers to the set of words an individual uses as a tool for communication. It is a collection of familiar words used or understood by an individual or group of people.

• Vocabulary learning takes place naturally when the focus is on negotiating the meaning earlier than on the formal features. In a language-learning program, it is advisable to provide for both direct and indirect learning of vocabulary. 

Language teaching refers to a process whereby a child gains communicative comprehension or fluency over a language. It involves practice by learners where facilitation is provided by a teacher.

The NCF has aimed at bringing reforms in the education system with learner-centric, flexible processing learning autonomy. Teachers being a facilitator, a supportive and encouraging learning atmosphere can be created. It was formed to increase the thinking and reasoning power of the students. These are first used resources for a feeble mind. Thus, the teaching of mathematics enhances the child’s resources to think and reason.
Hence, the correct answer is "To think and reason".

Given,
The length of the rectangle = l
The breadth of the rectangle = l/2
The length of the rectangle is doubled.
Hence, the length of the rectangle = 2l
Now the perimeter of the rectangle is given by, 
P = 2(length + breadth) = 2(2l + l/2) = 4l + l = 5l

Teaching has three variables:
1. Dependent variables - Student
2. Independent variables - Teacher
3. Intervening variables - Curriculum

From the given information:
Number of thousands = 19
Number of hundreds = 19
Number of ones = 19
We know that the place value of hundred changes after ten hundreds.
So, we can write the 19 hundreds = 1 thousand + 9 hundreds
The total value of given numbers in words = 19000+1000+900+19 = 20919.

Mathematics is a subject matter that includes complex numerical abstractions that deal with data analysis, the relationship between figures, objects, and patterns.

• The old methods of mathematics teaching heavily depended upon rote learning and drill which have been replaced by methods that depend upon discovery and problem-solving approaches. 
• The content should be presented in a psychological way that topics must be interrelated and in a successive order i.e., first introduce the concept of simple interest, then the compound interest. ​

Students are asked to establish a relation between vertically opposite angles. They draw various figures, measure the angles and observe that vertically opposite angles are equal. In this case, students according to Van Hiele thought are at analytic level.

It happened on the night of 2nd and 3rd December, 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. More than 500,000 individuals were presented to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and different chemicals. The harmful substance advanced into and around the shanty towns situated close to the plant.

School trips and excursions are some of the best techniques adopted by teachers for effective teaching. In these trips, students are expected that they should observe keenly, make notes, and share their observations with other students and the teacher. By this method, students will gain a better understanding of the real facts, and they will retain concepts for a longer duration.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'They should observe keenly, make notes and share their observations with other students and the teacher.'

The environment is defined as, “the sum total of living and non-living components; influences and events surrounding an organism”. Broadly the environment comprises abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components. 
Environmental studies contribute a branch of the study of inherent or induced changes in the environment, and their effect on living beings.

EVS at the primary level is intended to foster a reasoned and sensitive concern for the quality of the environment and for the management of natural resources. 
Teaching-learning of EVS aims to:

• expose children to the real-life world (natural and socio-cultural).
• enable them to analyze, evaluate and draw inferences about problems and concerns related to the environment.
• help them understand environmental issues.
• foster and nurture favorable attitudes and values towards the environment.
• promote positive actions.

Thus it is clear that the teaching-learning of EVS aims to evaluate and draw inferences about problems and concerns related to the environment.

At the primary stage, assessments should consist of Continuous and Unstructured teacher observations to be shared with learners and parents.
Assessment should not be limited to only exams or any sort of test, and games. It should include all aspects, all activities that are being taken in a school. It is not necessary that there should be structured observation only, it can also include unstructured observations.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Continuous and Unstructured teacher observations to be shared with learners and parents.'

Hygrometer is an instrument utilized for measuring the dampness content in the climate.

Dyslexia is associated mainly with difficulties in reading.
