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

According to the question girl’s parents are sportspersons and she obtained training from coaching. Both of her parents are sportspersons. So, we can say that her capabilities depend on heredity and the environment.

• The individual’s personality is the product of both heredity and environment.
• Heredity determines a child's potential, while the Environment influences the extent to which that potential is achieved.

Role of Heredity and Environment:

So, from the points, as mentioned above, it becomes clear that the girl's capabilities are most likely to be the result of an interaction between heredity and the environment.

Social deviance, broadly defined, applies to any behavior, belief, or appearance that violates prevailing social norms.

Wood, Bruner, and Ross's (1976) idea of scaffolding parallels the work of Vygotsky. They described scaffolding as the support given to a learner who is younger by an older, more experienced adult. Vygotsky observed that adults and older peers' instructions to children become less directive across time; a process he called "scaffolding." When working with very young children, adults and older peers are naturally prone to provide a lot of structure and direction, telling children exactly what to do and how to do it. As time goes by, however, and children gain experience with problem solving on their own, adults/peers will naturally decrease the amount of prompting and direction they provide to children.

A student with the locus of control believes that success or failure is due to his or her efforts or disabilities.

• The locus of control can be either internal or external to the individual.

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.

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.

Constructivist pedagogy places the child at the centre of the learning, and can also be referred to as ‘invisible pedagogy’. It is an approach to learning in which learners are provided the opportunity to construct their own sense of what is being learned by building internal connection or relationship among the ideas and facts being taught.”

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.

Let's explore the meaning of the marked word and the given word.

• Boost: help or encourage (something) to increase or improve.

From the above, we can refer that a correct answer is an option (C).

• Inhibit: hinder, restrain, or prevent (an action or process).
  Example: An unhappy family life may inhibit children’s learning.
• Placate: make (someone) less angry or hostile.
  Example: These changes did little to placate the unions.

  Example: Industrial progress is being shackled by a mass of regulations.

In order to effectively teach grammar to language learners, selecting appropriate grammatical items is crucial. One important criterion to consider during the selection process is "Range.

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.

The  'Theory of Multiple Intelligence' or 'Multidimensional Intelligence Theory'  was propounded by an American psychologist 'Howard Gardner' in his book 'Frames of Mind'. 
This theory describes eight different kinds of intelligence and emphasizes that:

• intelligence is of several kinds.
• intelligence can't be tied to a single domain.
• each individual has his/her own unique abilities.
• intelligence is not dominated by a general factor.

So, it could be concluded that the Theory of multiple intelligence emphasize that there are several forms of intelligence.

Social Science aims at linking the students with the real-life situations in order to better understand the subject.

• The Maratha Empire dominated a large part of the Indian subcontinent in the 17th century.
• The Marathas rose to power under Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
• Shivaji created a stable kingdom with the support of powerful warrior families called the 'Deshmukhs'.
• He built a formidable army consisting of a group of peasant pastoralists - or cattle herders - called the Kunbis.
• Kunbis were groups of highly mobile peasants who formed the backbone of the Maratha army.
• Using this army, he challenged the Mughals who were trying to gain control of the Deccan. 

Therefore, the correct answer is - Kunbis.

• Dry spells:
  • The monsoon is known as the break-in monsoon.
  • Dry spells occur both in northern India as well as on the western coast of India. Hence, Statement 1 is correct. 
• There are two rain-bearing systems in India during the monsoon period. 
  • The first branch originates in the Bay of Bengal branch of the Southwest Monsoon causing rainfall over the plains of north India.
  • Second is the Arabian Sea branch of the Southwest Monsoon which brings rain to the west coast of India. Hence, Statement 2 is correct. 
• Break in the Monsoon:
  • During the southwest monsoon period after having rained for a few days, if rain fails to occur for one or more weeks, it is known as a break in the monsoon.
  • These dry spells are quite common during the rainy season.
• These breaks in the different regions are due to different reasons:
  • In northern India, rains are likely to fail if the rain-bearing storms are not very frequent along the monsoon trough or the ITCZ over this region.
  • Over the west coast, the dry spells are associated with days when winds blow parallel to the coast.

Art integrated learning is a creative and constructive teaching-learning approach through which the students demonstrate their understanding of a concept through various art forms.
