REET Level 1 Mock Test - 6 - REET MCQ

Making the mentally retarded students learn through concrete experiences and making them apply the learned skills will surely work for mentally retarded children. Therefore, it becomes important for the teacher to plan out instructions for clear understanding of the concepts. 

The statement "Children actively construct their understanding of the world" was said by Piaget. Piaget saw the kid as constantly creating and re-creating his own model of reality, achieving mental growth by integrating simpler concepts into higher-level concepts at each stage. He argued for a “genetic epistemology,” a timetable established naturally for the event of the child’s ability to think, and he traced four stages therein development. Hence, the correct answer is, 'Piaget.'

Teaching is objective-centered. The needs of the learners are an important factor in managing a classroom. Teaching results when the teacher does any activity with the intention that his/her learners would learn something as a result of it.

The question paper is for students so that teachers will get to know how much students have learned. Content coverage will assure the teacher that that question paper covers the complete chapter or not.
Hence, the correct answer is "Content coverage".

Cognitive Development is the construction of thought processes that include problem-solving, decision-making, remembering, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. It is supported by when a child is being provided a rich and varied environment. In a rich environment, a child gets nourished and develops skills.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Providing rich and varied environment.'

She uses this strategy to create a certain way of thinking and reasoning. In exploratory instruction, teacher teaches by planting questions, like seeds, that encourage students to investigate their own approaches to learning the material. The students create their own paths, instead of getting a ready-made path.

Rajan got confused with the basic operators when he was given word problems. He asked which one of the operators he had to perform. So, he lacks in understanding the number of operators. Either he is not familiar with the operators or he lacks the concept to understand how operators work.
Hence, the correct answer is "Rajan lacks understanding of number operations”.

Rubrics is a guide listing specific criteria for grading or scoring academic papers, projects, or tests. It is a coherent set of criteria for students' work that includes descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria.
To assess the students' competency on solving word problems, based on addition and subtraction, rubrics of assessments are comprehension of problems, identification of operation to be performed, representation of problem mathematically, solution of problem and presentation of problem.

There are 9000, four-digit numbers present in the Hindu-Arabic Numeration system. The series of those numbers start from 1000 and end at 9999 so the total no. of four-digit numbers = (9999−1000)+1= 8999+1 = 9000
Hence, the correct answer is 9000.

All these things come in the language of mathematics.

“Start a discussion in the class on things in the child's environment which roll and slide. Help children to look at their shapes and see how some things roll and others slide.” This is more like an interactive session where the teacher is trying to draw the student’s attention towards some practical usages of learning concepts.
Depending on the structure and shape of the figure it will either slide or roll. If the surface of the figure is smooth and round it will roll and if the surface is bent and creates friction then it will slide. It is imperative for the teachers to draw the students’ attention towards the shapes and sizes, the basic knowledge about our day to day things surrounding us.
Hence, the correct answer is "It is imperative for the teachers to draw the children's attention to the things around them".

Scope of connecting knowledge to life outside the school: 

• Market: Most of the students might have gone to a market with their parents. They must have observed and participated in the way of buying and selling of goods and also the approach of the buyer and seller. You should take the advantage of real situations and utilizing the experience of the students in the calculation of profit & loss, preparation of bills, process of weighting, counting of money, amount and price etc.
• Real-life: A frog climbs 30 meters on a pole in a day and slides back 20 meters in a night. If the pole is 70 meters high, then how many days the frog will take to climb to the top of the pole? Most of our students of upper primary classes may calculate the answer as 7. One student told the answer is 5 as the frog climbs 40 meters in 4 days and in the fifth day it reached on the top i.e. 70 meters. Students get opportunities to work in a natural setting, they work according to their own perceptions. So their real-life experience must take into consideration.
• Garden: Students prepare plots in home, schools and also in playing with peers. During that time they may not know counting, measurement, construction of angles, different types of geometrical figures, areas, different lines, average etc. but they may do it using their perception. You may share the experience of the students in these activities and it will be amazing to find out that they have already acquired a lot of mathematical concepts which requires slight refinement for acquiring formal knowledge and understanding of the concepts.  
• Making designs: Students covered their notebooks, paint pictures, decorate their houses, plants trees in garden, design their playing kits etc. Teacher must observe the process of making design and utilized it in the classroom.
• Festival: We celebrate many festivals in our homes as well as in our schools. Students heartily involved on the Independence day, Republic day, Teacher’s day, Children’s day, Saraswati puja, Ganesh puja, Id, Christmas etc. They involve themselves in different activities to make these special occasions memorable. They go to the market to buy various materials, decorate the school, distribute sweets, calculate expenditure etc. at that time they also learn mathematics.
• Playground: Students are playing Kabaddi, football, cricket, volleyball, basketball and also many indoor games. They frame their rules of their own, prepare playground in a group. Students construct Circles, Rectangles, Squares, triangles etc. In their playground without knowing the rules of construction. They count individual and group scores through their own strategies.

Hence, we conclude that both statements are examples that can help the students in connecting their knowledge with the life outside the school.

From the given information:
The given time hours = 4 hours 59 minutes
The before time = 2:58 pm
Convert the twelve hours format into twenty-four hours format:
⇒ 2:58 pm = 12 + 2:58 = 14:58
Now, The required time
= 14:58−4:59
= 9:59 am
Therefore, it is 9.59 am before 2 :58 pm

• Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes, quantities, and patterns.
• Mathematics is the ‘queen of all sciences and its presence is there in all the subjects.
• It acts as the basis and structure of other subjects.
• Proof of a Mathematical Statement consists of a sequence of statements, each statement being justified with a definition or an axiom or a proposition that is previously established by the method of deduction using only the allowed logical rules.
• Thus, each proof is a chain of deductive arguments each of which has its premises and conclusions.

Proof by contradiction: 

• It is also called reductio ad absurdum (a Latin phrase) because it relies on reducing a given assumption to an absurdity.
• Here, we start with the assumption that the given statement is false.
• By rules of logic, we arrive at a conclusion contradicting the assumption and hence it is inferred that the assumption is wrong and hence the given statement is true.
• In this method, to prove q is true, we start by assuming that q is false (i.e., ~ q is true).
• Then, by a logical argument we arrive at a situation where a statement is true as well as false, i.e., we reach a contradiction r ∧ ~ r for some statement that is always false.
• This can only happen when ~ q is false also.
• Therefore, q must be true.
• To prove 'A line passing through the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side' for this we assume that the statement is false and end up with the conclusion that the statement is true.

​Thus, from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that this type of proof is proof by contradiction.

Arithmetic, Algebra, Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry are the different branches of mathematics. 'Quadratic Equations' is the sub branch of Algebra. So, Algebra and Quadratic Equations represent the same branch.

भाषा शिक्षण में पाठ्य-सामग्री और उसके शैक्षिक सिद्धांतो का चुनाव छात्र की जरूरतों के आधार पर किया जाना चाहिए।  भाषा सीखते समय सभी बच्चों की स्थिति अलग-अलग होती है, जिन्हें देखकर, परखकर उन्हें पाठ्य सामग्री उपलब्ध करवानी चाहिए, ताकि वे उसका समुचित उपयोग कर सकें।अन्यथा वह व्यर्थ सिद्ध होता है। 
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

भाषा शिक्षण के चार प्रमुख कौशल होते हैं – गृहणात्मक कौशल : श्रवण (सुनना), पठन (पढ़ना) अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल : वाचन (बोलना), लेखन (लिखना)। 

• अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का अर्थ है, अपने भावों तथा विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति। अपे विचारों को हम मौखिक अथवा लिखित रूप में व्यक्त कर सकते हैं।
• सुनकर लिखना या देखकर लिखना विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति नहीं है।
• अभिव्यक्ति के लिए स्वयं के मौलिक विचार महत्व रखते हैं।
• किसी अन्य की रटी-रटायी भाषा को दोहराना भी अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल नहीं है।
• इसके अन्तर्गत हम दूसरों के विचारों को उजागर कर रहे होते हैं।
• दूसरों के विचारों का विश्लेषण या आलोचनात्मक वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल के अन्तर्गत आता है।

अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि घटना वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का उदाहरण है

'ख़ामोशी ही बोलने लगती है' से अभिप्राय (इरादा) वह उद्देश्य या ध्येय जिसकी पूर्ति या सिद्धि के लिए प्रयत्नपूर्वक कोई काम लिया जाता है। जब कुछ बच्चे धीरे-धीरे बोलना बंद कर देते हैं तो बाकी बच्चों को पता चल जाता है कि उन्हें भी शांत होना है।

Option 4 is correct as the words beer, bier sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

Remedial teaching refers to the method of teaching that helps the teacher to provide learners with the necessary help and guidance to overcome the problems which are determined through diagnosing them.

In rainforests located at low latitude, a large number of varieties of different species of trees are found. In a survey, it was found that 3000 species of trees are found in low-latitude rainforest biome. 

The capital of Himachal Pradesh (Shimla) and the capital of Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal) are located in North and South with respect to the location of Delhi on the map of India.
Hence, the correct answer is North and South.

We are able to write because of friction between the tip of the pen and paper, we are able to walk because of friction between our feet and the ground, and we are able to stop a moving vehicle by applying brakes because of friction. These are the correct examples of friction. But a ball thrown vertically upwards comes back to us due to friction is wrong because it comes back to us due to gravity.
Hence, the correct statements are IV, I and II.

A good EVS book must not explain abstract concepts. It should rather have concrete concepts along with suitable examples.

In the southern hemisphere, seasons are opposite to those in northern hemisphere, with summer falling in the months December-February and with winter falling in the months June-August. Hence, in Australia, Christmas is celebrated during summer.

To know the level of understanding of the students about the topic when Sheela administered a test then she realized that a large number of students had not understood the related concepts. The reason behind this was that she did not use the correct methodology to teach the topic. For better understanding, the appropriate methodology should be used by the teacher depending on the requirements.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'She did not use the correct methodology to teach the topic.'

Projects make an integral part of teaching-learning EVS. Two aspects of children’s learning can be assessed through projects. One is their learning of the EVS content and other is the general EVS objectives like the social skills and values. When children carry out a group survey of a local water body, green area and the birds in the vicinity, the teacher can assess a variety of aspects related to not just the content but also other skills, such as:

• Ability to effectively communicate with local communities
• Presentation quality of the project report
• Quality of participation- Students can be asked questions such as:
  • name the group members who often helped each other
  • name the friends in your group
  • were you able to resolve differences of opinion during the group work?
  • did you share the resources?
• Ability to think and analyse processes and relations in real-life situation

Hence, we can conclude that all the above aspects can be assessed by the teacher through projects on EVS.

Asking students to collect related information from all possible sources satisfies the condition of active learning.

The objective of teaching EVS at the primary level is not limited just to equip the students with terms and definitions for assessment purpose only.
The objectives of environmental education are to increase public awareness about an environmental issue.
The main objectives of environmental education are as follow.

• The common duty of maintaining, protecting and improving the quality of the environment.
• It helps in engaging in exploratory and hands-on activities that lead to the development of cognitive and psychomotor skills.
• It provides the way in which each individual can contribute to the protection of the environment.
• It provides opportunities to acquire the knowledge, values, attitudes, commitment and skills needed to protect and improve the environment.
• It encourages pupils to examine and interpret the environment from a variety of perspectives.
• It helps to arouse pupil’s awareness and curiosity about the environment.
• It plays an important role to minimize population growth.
• It helps to develop national integrity among students.

Hence, we conclude that to load learners with terms and definitions for assessment is not an objective of teaching EVS at the primary level.

The ecological effect of the coal industries incorporates issues, for example, land use, waste administration, water and air contamination, brought about by the coal mining, handling and utilization of its items. Notwithstanding air contamination, coal blazingin thermal power plants produces a huge amount of strong waste items every year, including fly ash.
