Teaching Aptitude(Sci.): CUET Mock Test - 3 - CUET Humanities MCQ

University of Calcutta was the first university of India located in Kolkata West Bengal. It was established on 24^th Jan 1857. It was the first Western-style University in whole Asia that time. Famous personalities like Rabindranath Tagore, CV Raman and Amartya Sen were the faculty members.

In order to ease the education process for the children with special needs and learning disabilities, CBSE has laid down many provisions. It provides flexibility to such children in choosing the subject as they are affected with certain disabilities. Modified papers help ensure that the students with varying needs can access the examination materials needed to accurately assess their skills and knowledge. Though they are taught along with normal children, such type of provision as mentioned earlier helps them to attach with the education process easily. The children without special education need can act as peer tutors who need chance to learn things about human service professions. Scribe and compensatory time, and exception from third language are also the provisions which are provided by CBSE. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

The head office of S.C.E.R.T. of Punjab is situated in Chandigarh. State Council of Educational Research and Training (S.C.E.R.T.) Punjab, Chandigarh came into existence in July 1981 as a Nodal Agency for bringing qualitative improvement in School Education.

In 1886, the first training college to prepare secondary school teachers was set up at Saidapet in Madras (now called as Chennai). It was followed by the opening of a Secondary Department in the Nagpur Training School in 1889. Also, towards the end of 19th century there were about 6 training colleges in India.

The principal's role is to put into operations, the course of study. He has to assign different responsibilities to every teacher, so that the teaching-learning takes place effectively and efficiently. A school principal is in charge of all the operations at their school: they oversee teachers, coordinate curricula, plan and manage school events, maintain a budget, and keep the environment safe and conducive to learning.

The Indian Institute of Science was the first institute in India to be granted deemed university status, on 12th May 1958. Deemed university is an accreditation granted to higher educational institutions in India by the Department of Higher Education.

A well thought-out inclusive education programme has the potential to meet the diverse educational needs of all children. They don't have any exceptions.
It includes:

• Street children
• Children affected with AIDS
• Children of migrant laborers
• Girls living in different circumstances
• Children with disabilities
• Children affected with child labour
• Children in remote tribal areas

The British were the first people to incorporate advanced methodologies and systems in the education sector. In order to provide the required training to the teacher graduates, they initiated normal school, which was involved in the preparation of teachers of the district schools. Later, this school came to be called Presidency College.

This is the correct option because the teaching-learning process of Science in a classroom at any level of formal education is directed by values inherent in the subject as it cannot be changed by school, teacher or community.

Errors/difficulties in learning Science are identified using questionnaire because it is a set of printed or written questions with a choice of answers, devised for the purposes of a survey or statistical study that removes the chances of errors and difficulties.

Neutralisation is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. By helping the learner to experience daily life situations in which neutralisation is involved, students will identify neutralisation reactions and summarize observations with respect to behaviour of indicators in acidic and basic solutions and its characteristics on their own. So, this is the best teaching strategy followed by a physical science teacher who is most concerned about a visually challenged learner to teach neutralisation.

While formulating objectives of science, one must keep the following factors in mind:
(i) The need and capabilities of the learner: This is an important factor, as the end consumers are the students. The teacher needs to have a fair understanding of the capabilities of his/her students, so that she can teach them on the basis of their previous knowledge. She must be able to link their already existing knowledge, to provide them a better understanding of the topic being taught. Besides, the needs of the students must be kept in mind. A student of class VI cannot be taught a topic in the same way as it has to be taught to a class X student.
(ii) The nature of the highest subject matter: The teacher must draw a line on what must be taught to students at a particular stage. The books become a valuable resource for the same, as they draw out a basic plan for the teacher.
The capability of the subject teacher is not one of the factors. The teacher must have enough capability to teach the subject matter, as per the objectives framed. In case she feels it is above her capacity, she must take the help of other teachers, but should not compromise on what the students are being taught.

National Curriculum Framework (NCF) strongly recommends that Science education at upper primary stage should follow constructivistic approach for teaching and learning of the subject which helps in the holistic development of the student.

It is a process which is explicitly and systematically designed to ensure that the learners accomplish the instructional objectives. The purpose of instruction is to improve performance. Hyperactive students find it difficult to concentrate for a long time. They need freedom to learn in short spans. Hyperactive students need to be consistently active because of their inability to concentrate and impulsive behaviour.

The example of motion of a boy sitting in a moving car in relation to the car is incorrect because the motion of a boy sitting in a moving car in relation to the car is zero.

A common mnemonic for remembering lists is to create an easily remembered acronym, or, taking each of the initial letters of the list members, create a memorable phrase in which the words with the same acronym act as the material.
The technique mentioned in the question is one example of mnemonics.

Frictional force is an example of contact force, while gravitational force, electrostatic force and magnetic force are examples of non-contact forces.

The boiling point of hydrocarbons increases as the number of carbon atoms in the molecule increases. This is because forces between molecules increase as the size of the molecule increases.
The boiling point are mentioned below :

• Methane = -162°C
• Ethane = -89°C
• Propane = -42°C
• Butane = 0.5°C

Science education should enable the learner to know the facts and principles of science and its applications, consistent with the stage of cognitive development.The main objectives of the science curriculum up to the secondary level is to make learners 'scientifically literate as science is a compulsory component of the curriculum up to secondary level. Focus should be on developing awareness among the learners about the interface of science, technology and society, sensitizing them, especially to the issues of environment and health, and enabling them to acquire practical knowledge and skills to enter the world of work.Hence, we can conclude that acquiring technological skills is not the objective of teaching Science at the upper primary stage.

The main aim of inclusive education is to educate all children together without considering their physical and mental ailments. The school which works as per the principles of inclusive education must admit any child without taking the consideration of his/her disabilities. Hence, the child with any of the above mentioned learning disabilities has the right to get admission in schools.

Every child differs physically as well as mentally and these differences must be recognised. Maria Montessori recommended individual observation of each child, providing him with the environment best suited to his individual normal growth and thus educating him individually. Hence, she included the principle of individuality in her curriculum as well as education system. But the principle of individuality is not included in the pragmatist's curriculum because it focuses on the principle of integrity among the children. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

Education is the provision of a series of learning experiences to students in order to impart knowledge, values, attitudes and skills with the ultimate aim of making them productive members of society. Educational management is the process of planning, organising, directing and controlling the activities of an institution by utilising human and material resources so as to effectively and efficiently accomplish functions of teaching, extension work and research.
Protecting is preservation from injury or harm. It is not a feature of educational administration.

Graduates pursuing B.Ed must get trained in teaching at least 2 subjects. This norm was included in teacher education by the Secondary Education Commission. In order to fulfill this, graduates have to take two subjects, one as main and the other as allied.

Segregation is an action or state of setting someone or something apart from others. School administration does not aim at segregating students on the basis of intelligence. A good education system allows all students to thrive and realise all of their potential.
Aims and Objectives of School Organisation:
The basic aim is that schools are the betterment of societies.

• To provide efficient life to the school children and prepare them for the art of learning together
• To bring school and community close to each other
• To prepare the students for some particular type of education which is in the interest and ability of the students
• To help the students to unfold their personality (mental development) inner part
• To enable the students to have the right type of psychology of life
• To conserve all the group practical values, heredity and culture of our society

Rousseau emphasised the child-centred method of teaching. His principles are:

• Child should be given an important place in the educative process.
• Education must be in accordance with the nature of the child.
• Prominent place should be given to the concept of freedom in the education of the child.

The education system of India falls broadly under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). Amongst the branches of the MHRD, the Department of Higher Education is responsible for overseeing the growth of the higher education sector.

The basic functional unit in learning Science is theory. A theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalising thinking, or the results of such thinking.

The section on 'activities and projects included in the exercises of NCERT Science textbooks for class Vlll' primarily aims at assessing the students on practical skills. It will enhance their thinking skills.

The correct statement about 'laws' and 'theories' in science is that 'Laws are generalised descriptions of the relationships among observable phenomena and theories are explanations for the observable phenomena'. When the scientists investigate the hypothesis, they follow a line of reasoning and eventually formulate a theory. Once a theory has been tested thoroughly and is accepted, it becomes a scientific law. Therefore, scientific theories and laws are not same. Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. We have scientific theories for all the branches of science included Physics, Biology and Chemistry.
