HP JBT TET Mock Test - 5 - HP TET MCQ

Human development involves change. This change occurs at various stages of development and the development pattern at each stage has predictable characteristics. You might have observed that development is a product of maturity and learning. Maturity is more or less automatic, unfolding biological potential. It is an irreversible sequence and entails biological changes. Such changes are relatively independent of environmental factors as long as environmental factors remain normal. 

Key Points

Principles of development 

• Principle of Sequentiality: Sequentiality Most psychologists agree that development is sequential or orderly. Every species, whether animal or human, follows a pattern of development peculiar to it. This pattern in general is the same for all individuals.
• In prenatal development, there is a genetic sequence, that appears at fixed intervals with certain characteristics.
• Social and behavioral scientists increasingly have come to see development as a relationship between an organism and the environment in a transaction or collaboration. Individuals work with and affect their environment, and in turn, the environment works with and affects them. 

Hint

• Principle of Continuity: Development is a continuous process from conception to death. In the early years of life, the development consists of changes that lead the child to maturity not only in body size and functioning but also in behavior.
• Principle of Generality to Specificity: Development proceeds from general to specific. In all areas of development, general activity always precedes specific activity.
• Principle of Dlfferentiality: The tempo of development is not even. Individuals differ in the rate of growth and development. Boys and girls have different development rates. Each part of the body has its own particular rate of growth.

Hence, we can conclude that "Development follows a pattern of development peculiar to it". This statement is related to the Sequentiality principle of development.

Teaching profession is a 'mission', rather than a job. A teacher may not find the affirmation of his/her career choice in salary, administrators or even the students whom he/she teaches, but he/she must believe in the uncanny ability of a good teacher to positively impact the future and to leave lasting, indelible marks on those who will one day be the leaders in all facets of society. It is this power in the hands of a teacher that translates to big responsibility. A teacher who realises these things is on a mission to empower, enable and to make a positive difference.

Teaching is viewed as a comprehensive process, and there has been a tremendous change in the way of understanding teaching and a teacher's roles. It includes all the activities organized by a teacher to bring about learning, be it inside or outside a classroom, with or without the presence of the teacher.

Key Points
Teacher has to play diverse roles like a planner, facilitator, co-creator of knowledge, leader in the classroom and outside the classroom, manager, and counselor.

Role of the teacher:

• The teacher acts as a School-community bridge. School is a subsystem of the community in which it is located. It cannot be isolated from the community.
• The school will depend on the community for its resources and the community will be benefited from the school for its development and vibrancy.
• The teacher also acts as an agent of Social Change. This is the role that begins from school to the community and society at large.
• The teacher is the agent who translates these social goals into the classrooms of India and prepares the next generation for the vision of the nation.
• Teacher a leader who guides the class, school, and community as well. He/she should have leadership skills to lead the way toward development. 
• The teacher is a producer of Knowledge when he does research at the school level in the form of action research and the particular problem when solved leads to the introduction of new methods.

Thus, it is concluded that the teacher acts as a school-community bridge is correct with respect to the various roles of a teacher.

Teachers in multi-age classrooms are encouraged to use a range of teaching and assessment strategies to address the different ages of their students, implement flexible patterns of grouping, accommodate specific learning goals, engage all students in active participation, and promote a climate of respect for oneself and others.

Successful teachers are those who have the ability to maximise the learning potential of all students in their class. Developing positive relationships between a teacher and student is a fundamental aspect of quality teaching and student learning. In order to develop rapport with pupils, a teacher should behave with them in a democratic way, guide them, and he should have communicative ability.
Gillespie recognised that the inherent qualities of a student-teacher relationship (caring, knowing, trust and mutual respect) and a teacher's rapport with students results in a classroom environment where students are affirmed and supported to achieve their best.

A good teacher is one who draws attention of students towards himself. If at any moment he finds that students are not attentive towards him, then he should start evaluating his teaching methods and find out the areas where he lags, and hence should modify his methodology, to catch attention of students and take necessary steps to improve himself.

The length of the longest rod that can fit in a cubical vessel of side 10 cm is equal to the length of the diagonal of the cube. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the diagonal of the cube can be found as:Diagonal = √(length² + breadth² + height²)
Diagonal = √(10² + 10² + 10²)
Diagonal = √300
Diagonal = 10√3 cmTherefore, the length of the longest rod that can fit in a cubical vessel of side 10 cm is 10√3 cm, which corresponds to option C.
