UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 2

According to the principles of motivation, a teacher promotes learning through?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 2

According to the principles of motivation, a teacher promotes learning through as a teacher, care should be taken that children behave ethically.
Principle of the motivation in learning:

  • Motivation is controlled both intrinsically and extrinsically.
  • Motivation should encourage curiosity in the students.
  • The motivation should be blended with both praise and encouragement to develop self-reliance among the students.
  • The teacher promotes learning through motivation by taking care of the students so that the students behave ethically. The role of the teacher is to guide in the learning process so they take part in the process actively instead of feeling that learning is a burden, the students should feel learning is fun and interesting.
  • When students start behaving ethically it will help to develop their character, they will be able to judge which is good or bad, which help them to understand the world.
  • The teacher should motivate the students by guiding them, not by forcing and punishment because the child may learn in fear of punishment, but he will never understand the knowledge because he studies in fear of punishment.
UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 3

In your class, you find that some students cannot understand a topic because of the wide gap in their previous knowledge. What would you do?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 3

If some students cannot understand a topic because of the wide gap in their previous knowledge, the best approach to help the students is to arrange extra classes, as by only this approach can the wide gaps in their previous knowledge be filled.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 4

Which is an example of intrinsic motivation?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 4

Aspiration is an example of intrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic Motivation:
An intrinsically motivated activity will always be rewarded due to the direct relationship between the activity and the goal. This secures a continuous motivation to do the activity.
Intrinsic motivation is internal. It occurs when people are compelled to do something out of pleasure, importance, or aspiration.
So, it does not require an external push, unlike extrinsic motivation which requires an external motivating factor. So intrinsic motivation is more beneficial.
Extrinsic  Motivation:
When an activity is performed to accomplish the goal of an external reward, the person is said to be extrinsically motivated.
Extrinsic motivation occurs when external factors compel the person to do something.
This is motivation based on external rewards and has nothing to do with the activity directly. The Behaviourists' approach to motivation mainly focuses on the external rewards of reinforcement and punishment.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that aspiration is an example of intrinsic motivation.

The opaque projector, epidioscope, epidiascope or episcope is a device which displays opaque materials by shining a bright lamp onto the object from above. A system of mirrors, prisms and/or imaging lenses is used to focus an image of the material onto a viewing screen. Because they must project the reflected light, opaque projectors require brighter bulbs and larger lenses than overhead projector.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 9

निर्देश: निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को पढ़कर पूछे गए प्रश्नों के सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर वाले विकल्प को चुनिए।
आधुनिकतावाद, अपनी व्यापक परिभाषा में, आधुनिक सोच, चरित्र, या प्रथा है अधिक विशेष रूप से, यह शब्द उन्नीसवीं सदी के अंत और बीसवीं सदी के आरम्भ में मूल रूप से पश्चिमी समाज में व्यापकतम पैमाने पर और सुदूर परिवर्तनों से उत्पन्न होने वाली सांस्कृतिक प्रवृत्तियों के एक समूह एवं सम्बद्ध सांस्कृतिक आन्दोलनों की एक सारणी दोनों का वर्णन करता है। यह शब्द अपने भीतर उन लोगों की गतिविधियों और उत्पादन को समाहित करता है जो एक उभरते सम्पूर्ण औद्योगीकृत विश्व की नवीन आर्थिक, सामाजिक एवं राजनीतिक स्थितियों में पुराने होते जा रहे कला, वास्तुकला, साहित्य, धार्मिक विश्वास, सामाजिक संगठन और दैनिक जीवन के "पारंपरिक" रूपों को महसूस करते थे। आधुनिकतावाद ने ज्ञानोदय की सोच की विलंबकारी निश्चितता को और एक करुणामय, सर्वशक्तिशाली निर्माता के अस्तित्व को भी मानने से अस्वीकार कर दिया। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि सभी आधुनिकतावादी लोगों या आधुनिकतावादी आन्दोलनों ने या तो धर्म को या ज्ञानोदय की सोच के पहलुओं को मानने से इंकार कर दिया है, इसके बजाय कि आधुनिकतावाद को अतीत काल की ''सूक्तियों'' के पूछताछ के रूप में देखा जा सकता है। आधुनिकतावाद की एक मुख्य विशेषता आत्म-चेतना है। इसकी वजह से अक्सर रूप और कार्य पर प्रयोग किया जाता है जो प्रक्रियाओं और प्रयुक्त सामग्रियों की तरफ (और मतिहीनता की अगली प्रवृत्ति की तरफ) ध्यान आकर्षित करता है। "मेक इट न्यू!" के लिए कवि एज़्रा पाउंड पर रूप निदर्शनात्मक निषेधाज्ञा लग गई थी। आधुनिकतावादियों के "नव निर्माण" में एक नया ऐतिहासिक युग शामिल था या नहीं, यह अब बहस का मुद्दा बना हुआ है।

Q. प्रस्तुत गद्यांश का उचित शीर्षक क्या होगा?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 9

प्रस्तुत गद्यांश का उचित शीर्षक ‘आधुनिकतावाद’ है।
आधुनिकतावाद एक लंबी प्रक्रिया के बाद उपजी अवधारणा है, जिसमें आधुनिक आयामों को अपनाया गया।
उपरोक्त गद्यांश के सभी वाक्य आधुनिकता वादी सिद्धांत के इर्द-गिर्द घूमते हैं। अतः इसका उचित शीर्षक आधुनिकतावाद ही होगा।

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 10

दिशानिर्देश: नीचे दिए गए गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक अध्ययन करे और इस पर आधारित प्रश्नो के उत्तर दे:
केंद्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड (सीबीएसई) 10वीं कक्षा के अच्छे परिणाम से जहां खुशी का संचार हुआ है, वहीं इससे अन्य छात्रों को बेहतर पढ़ाई की प्रेरणा भी मिली है। कुल 91.46 प्रतिशत छात्र परीक्षा में सफल हुए हैं। पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में इस बार 0.36 प्रतिशत बेहतर नतीजे रहे हैं। अब यह आश्चर्य की बात नहीं कि लड़कियों ने 93.31 के पास प्रतिशत के साथ लड़कों को पछाड़ दिया है। लड़कों के पास होने का प्रतिशत 90.14 रहा है। खास बात यह रही कि इस वर्ष 2.23 प्रतिशत या 41,804 छात्रों ने 95 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक प्राप्त किए हैं। यह बहुत सकारात्मक बात है कि 18 लाख विद्यार्थियों के बीच 1.84 लाख से अधिक ने 90 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक हासिल किए हैं। मोटे तौर पर यह कहा जा सकता है कि 10 में से एक विद्यार्थी को 90 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक हासिल होने लगे हैं, यह कहीं न कहीं बेहतर होती शिक्षा की ओर एक इशारा है।
एक अच्छी बात यह रही है कि सीबीएसई ने कोरोना वायरस के कारण उत्पन्न परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए इस वर्ष 12वीं और 10वीं, दोनों कक्षाओं के टॉपरों का एलान नहीं किया है। शिक्षाविद भी मानते हैं कि टॉपरों के एलान से लाभ कम और नुकसान ज्यादा होते हैं। आज छात्रों के बीच चिंता का माहौल है, वे घरों में रहने को विवश हैं, उनमें अकेलापन, अवसाद और अन्य तरह की समस्याएं बढ़ी हैं। अत: आज शिक्षा बोर्ड को ऐसी कोई पहल नहीं करनी चाहिए कि छात्रों की बड़ी जमात में किसी तरह का असंतोष, दुख या अपमान पैदा हो। कोरोना के इस दौर में हमें यह भी ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि 10वीं की परीक्षा ढंग से नहीं हो पाई है। अनेक विषयों की परीक्षा कोरोना के कारण स्थगित करनी पड़ी है। परीक्षा फिर से लेने के प्रयास भी सफल नहीं रहे हैं। ऐसे में, विद्यार्थी जिन विषयों की परीक्षा नहीं दे पाए हैं, उनमें उन्हें आनुपातिक रूप से ही अंक दिए गए हैं। इसलिए यह कहना गलत नहीं होगा कि परिणाम संपूर्ण नहीं है। यदि कोई छात्र परीक्षा रद्द होने से पहले तीन से अधिक विषयों की परीक्षा दे चुका था, तो उसे तीन उच्चतम प्राप्त अंकों के हिसाब से बाकी विषयों में अंक दिए गए हैं। इस व्यवस्था में उन छात्रों के साथ अच्छा नहीं हुआ है, जो तीन से कम विषयों की परीक्षा दे पाए थे। ऐसे विद्यार्थियों के परिणाम की गणना में आंतरिक, व्यावहारिक और परियोजना मूल्यांकन के अंकों पर भी गौर किया गया है।
बेशक, परीक्षा परिणाम सामने हैं, लेकिन कामचलाऊ ही हैं। उम्मीद करनी चाहिए कि कोरोना काबू में आएगा और दोबारा इस तरीके से मूल्यांकन की जरूरत नहीं रह जाएगी। गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा के लिए भी सामान्य शिक्षा, परीक्षा और परिणाम की बहाली बहुत जरूरी है। फिर भी एनसीईआरटी और सीबीएसई जैसी संस्थाओं को ऑनलाइन परीक्षा के पुख्ता तरीकों पर भी काम करना होगा। आने वाले दिनों में जो परीक्षाएं होंगी, उनका ढांचा कैसा हो? कैसे विद्यार्थियों का सही मूल्यांकन हो सके? इसके पैमाने चाक-चौबंद करने होंगे। आगे शिक्षा की चुनौतियां बहुत बढ़ रही हैं। शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता बनाए रखने के लिए विशेष प्रयास करने ही होंगे। दसवीं और बारहवीं की अगली परीक्षाओं में अब छह-सात महीने ही बचे हैं। सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि आगामी परीक्षाओं में सफल विद्यार्थियों की संख्या में कोई कमी न आने पाए।

Q. गद्यांश में प्रयुक्त शब्द “प्रेरणा” का पर्यावाची दिए गए विकल्पों में से कौन सा है?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 10

उपरोक्त गद्यांश में प्रयुक्त शब्द “प्रेरणा” का अर्थ होता है-प्रोत्साहन। विकल्पों में दिए गए शेष शब्द गद्यांश के शब्द “प्रेरणा” के सामान अर्थ प्रकट करने में अशक्षम है।

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 11

कक्षा तीन का एक बालक एक वर्ण 'ड़' के स्थान पर कोई अन्य वर्ण 'र' का प्रयोग करता है। इसका संभावित कारण हो सकता है:

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 11

कक्षा तीन का एक बालक एक वर्ण 'ड़' के स्थान पर कोई अन्य वर्ण 'र' का प्रयोग करता है। इसका संभावित कारण उसकी मातृभाषा का प्रभाव हो सकता है।
विद्यार्थियों द्वारा सड़क को सरक बोलने का संभावित कारण उनकी मातृभाषा का प्रभाव हो सकता है क्योंकि बच्चों में उच्चारण संबंधी दोष का प्रमुख कारण प्रायः मातृभाषा तथा क्षेत्रीयता का प्रभाव ही होता है। अलग अलग जगहों पर एक ही शब्द का उच्चारण विभिन्न तरीके से किया जाता है, यही कारण है कि शब्दों के उच्चारण में इस बात का प्रभाव पड़ता है कि बच्चा किस क्षेत्र में रह रहा है और किस मातृभाषा का प्रयोग कर रहा है।

  • उदाहरण: बिहार में 'ड़' को प्रायः 'र' बोला जाता है- लड़का  लरका, ‘सड़क’ को ‘सरक'
  • भोजपुरी बोलने वाले लोग ने का प्रयोग कम करते हैं, तो पंजाबी क्षेत्र के लोग इसका अनावश्यक प्रयोग करते हैं, जैसे- हमने जाना है।
  • इसी तरह कहीं ने के बदले ण का प्रयोग, स के बदले ह का प्रयोग, तो कहीं ए, औ और न के बदले ऐ, ओ, ण का प्रयोग आदि के कारण उच्चारण संबंधी दोष उत्पन्न होता है।
  • उर्दु के कारण हिंदी का क, ख, ग- क़, ख़, ग़ हो गया है।
  • अंग्रेजी के कारण आ का उच्चारण ऑ होने लगा है।

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 13

Direction: ​Read the given passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Everything that men do or think concerns either the satisfaction of the needs they feel or the need to escape from pain. This must be kept in mind when we seek to understand spiritual or intellectual movements and the way in which they develop, for feeling and longing are the motive forces of all human striving and productivity – however nobly these latter may display themselves to us.
What, then, are the feelings and the needs which have brought mankind to religious thought and to faith in the widest sense? A moment’s consideration shows that the most varied emotions stand at the cradle of religious thought and experience.
In primitive people, it is, first of all, fear that awakens religious ideas – fear of hunger, of wild animals, of illness, and of death. Since the understanding of causal connections is usually limited on this level of existence, the human soul forges a being, more or less like itself, on whose will and activities depend the experiences which it fears. One hopes to win the favor of this being, by deeds and sacrifices, which according to the tradition of the race are supposed to appease the being or to make him well disposed to man. I call this the religion of fear.
This religion is considerably established, though not caused, by the formation of priestly caste which claims to mediate between the people and the being they fear and so attains a position of power. Often a leader or despot will combine the function of the priesthood with its own temporal rule for the sake of greater security, or an alliance may exist between the interests of political power and the priestly caste.

Q. “Human soul forges a being” means:

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 13

According to the line given in the passage, Since the understanding of causal connections is usually limited on this level of existence, the human soul forges a being, more or less like itself, on whose will and activities depend on the experiences which it fears.
'forges' means "create something strong or successful".
Here, the speaker says that human has forged something in his mind which is similar to himself most probably his fears. The concept of God is a creation of the human mind- this sentence is correct because 'God' is one of the fears of a human mind which is mentioned in the passage.
The First statement 'that ghosts and witches are a creation of the human mind'- this statement is also correct because of the phrase causal connections.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 14

Directions: Read the poem given below and answer the question that follows.
T'was the night before Christmas,
And all through the kitchen,
My mother was cooking some delicious chicken.

My brother thought his costume was lame.
And instead of rescuing the day,
He ate up my dinner,
And he flew away !
Santa burnt the house with dynamites and flares,
I guess I was on the naughty list, next year,
I'll care !

Q. The speaker feels that Santa burnt the house because

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 14

The speaker feels that Santa burnt the house because the child had been naughty. It can be inferred from the line, "I guess I was on the naughty list".

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 15

A language teacher laid emphasis that a language is best learned when a child is able to use all the basic skills of a language naturally and no skill should be overemphasized or neglected. This is based on which of the following principles of language teaching?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 15

Language teaching is the process whereby a child gains communicative comprehension or fluency over a language. It involves practice by learners where facilitation is provided by a teacher. Some of the Principles of Language Teaching are the Principle of Imitation, the Principle of Graded Patterns, Principle of Selection and graduation, etc.
Principle of Multi-Skills:

  • All four language skills are to be given their due importance when learning or teaching them.
  • No skill should be overemphasized or neglected and it should be taught in an integrated manner.
  • So, when a language teacher laid emphasis that a language is best learned when a child is able to use all the basic skills of a language naturally and no skill should be overemphasized or neglected. Then he is following the principle of multi-skills.

Thus, it is clear that in the above-given scenario the teacher is using the principle of multi-skills.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 16

Directions: Read the given poem and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
As I Watch You Grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!
-KayTheese

Q. The poem addresses a

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 16

The line "With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?" indicates that this poem is addressed to a girl and from the last line of the poem, we come to know that the author is the mother of that 'little girl'. So, it is a poem written by a mother for her daughter.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 17

Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Initiatives such as “4 per mille” and Terraton aim to sequester huge amounts of carbon in the soil. The 2018 U.S. Farm Bill includes the first-ever incentives for farmers to adopt practices aimed at improving soil health and sequestering carbon. But these initiatives are missing a key point: not all soil carbon is the same.
The very different lifetimes of particulate organic matter and mineral-associated organic matter have important implications for these efforts. For example, adding low-quality crop residues to agricultural fields would likely create more particulate organic matter than mineral-associated organic matter. This could increase soil carbon in the short term - but if that field later is disturbed by tilling, a lot of it would decompose and the benefit would be quickly reversed. The best practices focus on building up the mineral-associated organic matter for longer-term carbon storage, while also producing high-quality particulate organic matter with lots of nitrogen to help boost crop productivity.
Natural healthy soils show us that providing continuous and diverse plant inputs that reach all the way to deep soil is key for achieving both high mineral-associated organic matter storage and particulate organic matter recycling. There are many promising ways to do this, such as maintaining plant cover on fields year-round; growing diverse crops that include high-nitrogen legumes and perennials with deep roots; and minimizing tillage.
However, not all soils can accumulate both mineral-associated organic matter and particulate organic matter. Before implementing any management practices for carbon sequestration, participants should first assess the carbon storage potential of the local soil, much as a doctor studies a patient before prescribing a cure. Sequestering soil carbon effectively requires an understanding of how particulate organic matter and mineral-associated organic matter work, how human actions affect them, and how to build up both types to meet our planet’s climate and food security needs.

Q. What is the synonym of the word ‘boost’?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 17

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 18

Which of the following activity is suggested to improve one’s spelling?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 18

When one reads at the top of one’s voice, usually to make other people in the vicinity hear what is being read, is known as loud reading. It is also known as oral reading. This process helps students develop vocabulary and improve pronunciation. It also develops confidence among students. It increases your imagination power and also improves your spellings.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 19

Which of the following is not a technique of teaching vocabulary?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 19

Vocabulary is the knowledge of words and word meanings. As Steven Stahl puts it, "Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition but also implies how that word fits into the world."

  • Vocabulary knowledge is not something that can ever be fully mastered. it is something that expands and deepens over the course of a lifetime.
  • Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect exposure to words and intentionally through explicit instruction in specific words and word-learning strategies.
UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 20

Which of the following the most important means to give students a feedback on their linguistic development?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 20

The teacher must analyze their mistakes and will adopt a measure to rectify their mistakes. She should ignore the mistakes that occur due to interference of their first language, and later after seeing the pattern can give effective feedback.

  • For students, feedback points out what they have done well and what they should keep doing, as well as what they should adjust and work on next.
  • Including both positive and negative or corrective feedback can motivate students and promote a growth mindset, which enables them to see errors as opportunities to learn, grow, and improve.
  • Feedback is also valuable for teachers. It gives them an opportunity to analyze student growth in terms of objectives they are trying to meet. It informs teachers about the strengths in the student’s work and the areas where more work is needed.
  • Improving student learning is our ultimate reason to implement effective feedback in the classroom.
  • Because of what we understand about the developmental nature and the role of errors in language learning, we recognize that feedback that is appropriate for English learners is also balanced, differentiated, and supportive.
UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 (Social Science) - Question 21

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours so that it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. The school was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the tiny children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet, and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.

Q. Which one of the following words is the most similar in the meaning to the word "tiny" as used in the passage (Para 2)?
