UTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 8 - UTET MCQ

Mastery over the subject matter is one of the very essential factors of a teacher that affect the process of learning. 

The definition of a talented and gifted child is widely varied. They may be extraordinary in the area of intellectual ability or in specific academic areas like dance, art, music, etc. Gifted children show a range of characteristics that often set them apart from their peers. The IQ related to giftedness is 130 or more. This trait begins in early childhood. According to the study of the 1970s, this giftedness is the result of genetic endowment and also comes from the rich environment in which a child grows. It is known that intelligence is linked to heredity and genetic predisposition.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Genetic makeup' and 'Environmental motivation'.

The word intrapersonal means within the self-so, intrapersonal intelligence is another term for self-awareness or introspection. People who have high intrapersonal intelligence are aware of their emotions, motivations, beliefs, and goals. They are able to discriminate among similar emotions.

Errors are the faults made by the student during their learning. Errors help students to find out their weak points of view regarding the problem and also make a chance to improve their learning. Errors are made because of the different thought processes of the students regarding the problem.

Creativity is the ability to come up with or generate creative ideas and possibilities. It involves thinking in new and original ways to reach a solution.

प्रस्तुत गद्यांश  में उल्लेखित है कि निबंधकार के रूप में शुक्ल जी का योगदान 'मनोविकार' संबंधी निबंधों के कारण है। अत; इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर 'मनोविकार' है। अन्य सभी विकल्प गलत हैं। 

• अनेक विषयों का ज्ञान होने पर उससे संबन्धित इच्छा रखने पर अनेकरूपता के अनुसार अनुभूति के भिन्न भिन्न योग उत्पन्न होते हैं जो भाव या मनोविकार कहलाते हैं। 
• मनोविकार निबंध इन्हीं भावों से संबन्धित होते हैं। 
• चिंतामणि ग्रंथ में आचार्य रामचन्द्र शुक्ल ने मनोविकारी निबंधों का संग्रह लिखा है। मित्रता, अध्ययन इस ग्रंथ के प्रमुख निबंधों में से हैं। 

पाठ पढ़ने-पढ़ाने के बाद बच्चों से प्रश्न करने से यह ज्ञात होता है, कि अधिगम के दौरान वह कितना सक्रिय थे? और उनके द्वारा अधिगम की कितनी बातों को ग्रहण किया गया? यही कारण है कि पाठ पढ़ाने के बाद, ‘यदि, तो’ वाले प्रश्न या पाठ से संबंधित उनके निजी अनुभवों को व्यक्त करने वाले प्रश्नों या ‘क्या शिक्षा मिलती है’ जैसे प्रश्नों को छात्रों से पूछा जाना चाहिए। ताकि उनकी विचार ग्रहण करने और विचारों को बोलकर अभिव्यक्त करने की योग्यता का पता लगाया जा सके।
अतः ''क्यों', 'कैसे' वाले प्रश्न'' इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

सशक्त अभिप्रेरणा सीखने का प्रभावशाली घटक है- इससे बालक शीघ्र सीखता है। 
अभिप्रेरणा लक्ष्य-आधारित व्यवहार का उत्प्रेरण या उर्जाकरण है। अभिप्रेरणा या प्रेरणा आंतरिक या बाह्य हो सकती है। इस शब्द का इस्तेमाल आमतौर पर इंसानों के लिए किया जाता है, लेकिन सैद्धांतिक रूप से, पशुओं के बर्ताव के कारणों की व्याख्या के लिए भी इसका इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है।  अभिप्रेरणा से बच्चे काफी जल्दी सीखते हैं, उन्हें प्रेरित करना और उन्हें व्याख्या के साथ प्रेरित करना बालक को शीघ्र उत्प्रेरित करता है। 
अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

• कवि की मां अपने जीवन की कठिनाइयों से समझौता कर लेती है।
• इसमें वो ऐसे दर्शाती है जैसे ईश्वर के कारण वह अपने जीवन को जीने के तरीके ढूंढ रही है।
• इसका आशय है कि जब व्यक्ति जीवन से हताश हो जाता है तो वह ईश्वर की ही शरण लेता है।
• ऐसे में अक्सर व्यक्ति अंधविश्वास की ओर बढ़ने लगता है।

A resource box for class I have to be developed for which the teacher has provided three instructions to each student regarding the items that have to be put in it. In order to fulfil this task, each student must listen to the teacher with concentration for information about which object has to be put in which box. If there is a lack of concentration the task would not be completed as per instructions.
Hence, the correct answer is 'listening with concentration for specific information needed for a task'.

Let's understand the passage.

• Refer to the line, 'The creation of Mount Rushmore Monument took 14 years - from 1927 to 1941 - and nearly a million dollars'.
• It is evident that the passage is about the creation of Mount Rushmore Monument.

Therefore, The correct answer is "The creation of the Mount Rushmore Monument".

• According to the line mentioned in the passage, 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.
• In the given line, it is written that the religion is established by the formation of Priestly caste and the indirect meaning is a growth of the priestly caste.

So the correct answer is Option 4.

• The passage is based on the merchant who does not take proper care of his horse and only gives importance to money and profit. He eventually eats the fruit of his act and finally, he learns the lesson of his act and vows to treat his animals with kindness and respect and not to let his greed get in the way of his morals.
• Read the lines of the passage,"Once upon a time, there was a greedy merchant who owned a magnificent horse. The horse was strong and fast, and the merchant was proud of it. He would often travel long distances with the horse to trade goods and make a profit." 
• Hence, after reading the above lines we can conclude that the merchant travels long distances with his horse to trade goods and make a profit.

​Hence, the correct answer will be Option 2.

A creative learner is the one who analyzes the information and expresses his ideas without the worry of being judged. He has the problem solving capabilities.

Here, 'subtle' means 'hidden or illusive'.

The poet contrasts beautiful and scary as is evident in the lines “The woods are lovely, dark and deep”. Green means, in this context, full of vegetation. Snowy means covered in snow. Windy means exposed to strong winds. Hence the wood in winters is beautiful but also scary.

For the given pattern, general equation = 6 + 4(n - 1), where n is the number of the stage.
Therefore, in 15^th stage, number of matchsticks = 6 + 4(15 - 1) = 6 + 56 = 62

Innovations in teaching of mathematics can be diversified in terms of teaching methods, educational resources and different learning processes.

Mathematics is a subject matter of complex abstractions and mainly deals with patterns, shapes, sizes, figures, and data analysis. It is based on practical usability in all aspects of life.

• The concepts for which the proof or verification is done by experimentation or activities are better understood by learners and are retained in their brains for a longer period of time. 

If a teacher puts himself in place of the learner, then he/she may understand the conception and misconception of students easily.

Brainstorming process is developed by Alex F. Osborn. It is the oldest and best-known technique for stimulating creative thinking. It is the most fruitful exercise to solve complex and critical problems.

• In Brainstorming, many creative minds work together and apply their diverse thinking patterns to achieve the same learning goals. Ideas are generated spontaneously by the learners.
• It is a democratic technique of teaching in which the student is the active role player. The teacher gives one problem or topic to the entire class and allots time.
• Within the given time, the student must create ideas. The role of the teacher in this method is just to consider all the ideas and arise on conclusions based on the healthy discussion.
• It provides more ideas and views to the child as in this process thought arising in the mind of the learner is noted down for further discussion and use.
• It helps to achieve the higher order of cognitive objectives as it just demands the active participation of the child in the learning process by making them think and note the ideas in their own style. 

Hence, it could be concluded that all of the above statements are true about brainstorming.

From a psychological point of view, the dominant model of human learning is of the child as an information processor, attempting to derive meaning from experience by subjecting it to several modes of processing like classification or categorisation of new information and relating those to the existing experiences to derive meaning. There are three main features of the human information processing system which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

• Learning by induction: As human beings, we appear to be very able to engage in the process of induction (inferring general rules or patterns from a range of particular cases), but relatively less well-equipped for deductive reasoning (the opposite process of inferring particular cases from the general rule). Inductive reasoning is the basic process whereby children can easily make sense of their world by classifying and categorising experience into increasingly structured conceptual structures and models.
• Limited ‘working memory’ capacity: While teaching mathematics we usually are not aware that human being has a limited capacity of processing information. For example, Miller has demonstrated from a whole range of evidence that we hold only about seven separate pieces of information in our short-term or ‘working’ memory. We know the procedures we must go through to get the answer to the second sum, and we can carry out each of the separate computations involved. What we cannot do is hold all the information in our head at once. While we are working out one part, the result of the previous computation is very likely to be forgotten. This happens all the time for children with much smaller numbers and less complicated procedures.
• Development of metacognitive awareness and control: The third general feature of the human processing system which we must consider is that it is a system that not only learns but learns how to learn. When one is aware of his/ her ways of thinking or learning, what the American psychologist has termed ‘meta-cognition’, he/she acquires more ability to control over his/her actions and learning.

It should be noted that the questions asks for 'young children', while axioms and postulates are introduced after the secondary stage.
Hence, we conclude that the human information processing system does not have an understanding of axioms and postulates which have very direct implications for introducing young children to the world of formal mathematics.

As we know that the diagonal of a rhombus meet at 90°. So, we will be applying the Pythagoras theorem to find out the side of a rhombus and will be multiplying it by 4 and as we know all the sides of a rhombus are equal and the perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides of a figure. Let us divide the diagonal into two equal halves, i.e., 4 cm and 3 cm.
Now applying Pythagoras theorem, by taking the side of a rhombus as x cm.
(x)² = (4)² + (3)²
⇒ x² = 16 + 9
⇒ x² = 25
⇒ x = √25 = 5
Therefore, Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × 5 cm = 20 cm.

Mathematics learning is an enjoyable process. Children consider it a difficult, boring, and fearful subject. 

Environment Studies is a subject that is concerned with the development of learner's awareness about environmental issues. Children actively construct their own knowledge and understanding of the world by observing and interacting with the real content and situation. 

Kurt Lewin was a well known magnetic analyst who is presently seen as the father of social brain research. Lewin explains the individual behaviour on the basis of life-space. An individual's life-space depends on his psychological force. It includes the person; his drives, tensions, thoughts and his environment, which consists of perceived objects and events.

As coconut and tapioca require a humid climate to grow, and Kerala is a place that is covered with high humidity. It is the warmest region in India. High humidity makes the weather pleasant sometimes. Hence, Kerala is a place where people grow eatables such as tapioca and coconut in their courtyards, and they find food prepared using these to be very tasty.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Kerala.'

Kerala - Kathakali
Orissa - Odissi
Tamil Nadu - Bharatnatyam
Assam - Bihu

The tradition of bee-keeping in Bihar is very old. The period of October to December is considered as the best to start bee-keeping because at that time number of flowering and crop plants is more. So bees will get nectar and pollen easily to increase the production of honey. There was a setback to the bee-keeping industry in the 1980s due to the disease caused by the Thai sacbrood virus.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'October to December.'

Liquid water evaporates into water vapour, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.
The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
Effects of the water cycle:

• It regulates the temperature of the surroundings.
• It changes to weather and creates rain.
• It helps in the conversion of rocks to soil.
• It circulates important minerals through the spheres.
