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

The active participation and involvement of children play a very vital role in learning and shaping the personality of a child. 
A child-centered method is one that gives primacy to children's experiences and needs and provides ample opportunities for the children.

• While investigating the problems, it is often found that children break the problem into parts and analyze it, then they try solving the parts logically, this critical thinking shapes the child to be Scientific Investigators.
• When a child is encouraged to be self-dependent, it helps in developing thoughts and rationality in them and they try multiple ways to find a solution, and doing this multiple times helps them evolve as a Problem Solver.
• Children are Active Explorers of the environment as they are excited to learn about what is this, why it is here, how it is working, etc. They ask many questions about objects and situations in their surroundings.

So, the statements about children emphasizing to be Scientific Investigators, Problem Solver, and Active Explorers of the environment are correct.

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.

Howard Gardner, an American psychologist, proposed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In his book ‘Frames of Mind’, he pointed out that he did not believe there was "one form of cognition which cuts across all human thinking." There are multiple intelligences with autonomous intelligence capacities. " So, intelligence cannot be viewed as a single entity.

• Gardner initially proposed eight types of intelligence, which later on he increased to nine. Thus, Gardner views each individual as a unique combination of various intelligences; hence, we cannot say that one is more intelligent and another is less intelligent.

Adolescence marks an important time in the process of human development, the passage between childhood and adulthood. It is a time of tremendous opportunity and promises when adolescents begin to explore their growing individuality and independence and begin to think critically about themselves and the world around them.

While handling students with special needs, use simple commands with as few words as possible, having the child then carry out that instruction.

Learning is a comprehensive process that refers to a change in behavior, knowledge, and skills as a result of practice and experience.

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.

उपचारात्मक शिक्षण शिक्षण-शिक्षण कार्यक्रम का एक अभिन्न अंग है, जिसे प्रतिपूरक या सुधारात्मक शिक्षण के रूप में भी जाना जाता है।
अंग्रेजी भाषा में उपचारात्मक शिक्षण के उद्देश्य:

• अप्रभावी आदतों को खत्म करने के लिए।
• अतिरिक्त सहायता देकर शिक्षार्थियों को बेहतर सीखने के लिए।
• विद्यार्थियों को उनकी क्षमताओं और आवश्यकताओं के अनुसार सीखने की गतिविधियाँ और व्यावहारिक अनुभव प्रदान करना।
• ठीक से नहीं सीखी गई भाषा वस्तुओं को फिर से पढ़ाने के लिए।
• प्रेरक उपागमों के साथ सीखने में शिक्षार्थियों की रुचि जगाना।
• विद्यार्थियों को उनकी सामान्य या विशिष्ट कमजोरियों से छुटकारा पाने में मदद करें।
• शिक्षार्थियों को उनकी विविध आवश्यकताओं के अनुसार व्यावहारिक अनुभव प्रेषित करना।

भाषा अर्जन:

• यह मानव मस्तिष्क की जन्मजात क्षमता के कारण मूल या दूसरी भाषा सीखने की अवचेतन प्रक्रिया को संदर्भित करता है।
• यह एक प्राकृतिक प्रक्रिया है जिसके द्वारा बच्चे अपने मूल वातावरण में जो कुछ सुनते हैं उसे देखकर और दोहराकर भाषा सीखते हैं।
• भाषा अर्जन के लिए किसी औपचारिक निर्देश की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है, बच्चे बिना पढ़ाए ही भाषा सीख लेते हैं।
• भाषा अर्जन एक स्वाभाविक प्रक्रिया है, इसलिए व्यक्ति अपनी मातृभाषा को नहीं भूलता।

इसलिए, यह निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है कि किसी भाषा की 'अर्जन प्रणाली' या 'अर्जन' सीखने की अवचेतन प्रक्रिया है।

वाणी, और लेखन में मूल अंतर यह है की लिखित भाषा सचेतन स्तर पर देखी जाती है और कालबद्ध होती है।
वाणी भाषा का मौखिक रूप है। वाणी को लिपि की सहायता से लिखित भाषा में बदला जा सकता है।

• अभिव्यक्ति की दृष्टि से वाणी तथा लेखन परस्पर पूरक हैं।
• वाणी से लेखन कठिन होता है।
• लेखन में वर्तनी का विशेष महत्व है जबकि वाणी में ध्वनि का।
• लेखन की कला स्थायी साहित्य का अंश है।
• लेखन की विषय वस्तु साहित्य का क्षेत्र होती है।
• लेखन में चिंतन और सोचने के लिए अधिक समय मिलता है।
• लेखन से ही विचारों को सुरक्षित रख सकते हैं। अतः लिखित भाषा कालबद्ध होती है।
• अच्छा लेखन, लेख के पात्रों को सचेतन बना देता है।
• लेखन पाठक की चेतना को जाग्रत करने का कार्य करता है।

वस्तुनिष्ठ परीक्षणों में पदों या प्रश्नों की रचना दो रूपों में की जाती है। 
अभिज्ञान रूप- इसमें पहचानने की शक्ति की जाँच की जाती है।
प्रत्यास्मरण रूप- इसमें छात्रों की प्रत्यास्मरण की परीक्षा ली जाती है।
एकान्तर अनुक्रिया रूप-

• ऐसे प्रश्नों को सत्य-असत्य रूप भी कहा जाता है।
• इसका उत्तर सत्य तथा असत्य इन दो सम्भावनाओं में सीमित रहता है।
• हाँ या नहीं में भी उत्तर देना पड़ सकता है।

अतः हम कह सकतेे हैं कि सत्य-असत्य परीक्षण एकान्तर परीक्षण कहलाता है।

• It's clear that 'hunting' is used as a verb in continuous form.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1).

Let's refer to the following lines of the passage:
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. 
Thus, from above we can infer that just like when a doctor prescribes a medicine he/she performs an examination to know the type of disease or problem that patient has, and the potential of soil to store carbon should be assessed before implementing any management practices.

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.
