CTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 4 - CTET & State TET MCQ

Development proceeds from general to specific. In all areas of development, general activity always precedes specific activity. For example, the fetus moves its whole body but is incapable of making specific responses. With respect to emotional behaviour, infants approach strange and unusual objects with some sort of general fear response.
Later, their fears become more specific and elicit different kinds of behaviour, such as crying, turning away and hiding, etc.

A teacher, after preparing a question paper, checks whether the questions test specific Testing objectives. He is concerned primarily about the question paper's validity.

School and classroom environment is the place where the child's 'cognitive' development is defined in the best way. Schooling has direct effects on children's educational achievement, their acquisition of literacy, numeracy and scientific knowledge. These basic skills provide the foundation for later "subjects" such as geography, physics and foreign languages.

Lying and stealing are common, but inappropriate, behaviors in school-aged children. While some severe forms of these behaviors can indicate a more serious psychological problem, most of the time it is simply a common behavior that will be outgrown.
During the school years, stealing may be a sign of a problem, but it may also be a result of peer pressure and the need for the child to fit in. It is important to look at the whole situation and address it accordingly.

Preference to one sex over the other is called gender bias. Here the school prefers girls for the competition, thereby reflecting gender bias.

Motor development is a physiological process in which motor activities are learned by children and taken into practice leads to permanent behaviour change. It is divided into two skills: gross motor development, that is, development of large muscle and fine motor development, that is, development of short muscle. This is how motor development controls body movements.
Hence, the correct answer is "Development of control over body movements".

Parents should show trust in the teacher and discuss the problem with the teacher. In case, he does not feel satisfied, can he take some other action for the same. The parents must try to understand the teacher's point of view, as well as should be able to make the teacher understand their own point of view. Thus, they both can come to a common conclusion.

Learning disabilities may occur due to all of the following except cultural factors as they do not affect learning disability.

For Vygotsky, although biological factors constitute the necessary pre-requisite for elementary processes to emerge, socio-cultural factors are indispensable for elementary natural processes to develop. He argues for the uniqueness of the social milieu and regards socio-cultural settings as the primary and determining factor in the development of higher forms of human mental activity such as voluntary attention, intentional memory, logical thought, planning, and problem solving.

Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.

Each pupil is different in terms of learning ability, academic standards, classroom learning and academic performance, and each has his own pace in learning. A successfully implemented remedial teaching strategy points the student towards the path which leads to goals and objectives of teaching. Hence, it is considered as a sign of motivated teaching.

Cognition is what we are thinking, what is going on in our minds. Cognition is what is coming to know more, or what we are trying to remember that we already knew.
Hence, the correct answer is "Coming to know".

In our life, we try to learn new things from our family first. Then when we come into society, that leads us to learn different things from different perspectives. Social development is when we learn or develop ourselves by practising or experiencing new things from society.
Hence, the correct answer is "Social development".

Arnold Gesell gives the Maturational Theory. He explained that mature is a genetic factor, and it plays an important role in children's development; the influence of the environment is not more important than genes. Children take birth by genes; their habits are like their parents, their sitting posture, how they eat, how they walk, etc., all depends on their parents. He believes that development is a biological process that occurs automatically in sequential stages, which means genes play an important role in developing a child.
Hence, the correct answer is "Maturational Theory".

Young children have no other responsibility and no extra burden. They are new to the environment, making them enthusiastic and curious about new things, and they want to know everything about their surroundings. They freely do things, and that makes them learn or understand easily without any stress. Stress makes peoples mind slow, and they become slow learners. At this age, young children don't have that much stress to learn easily and quickly. 
Hence, the correct answer is "Active".

IQ is a score obtained by conducting an Intelligence Test. Intelligence involves different mental activities and abilities which include logic, reasoning, planning, and problem-solving. So IQ between 90 to 110 is considered as normal. This proves that this is normal and people having IQ between 90 to 110 can understand everything, able to do planning, reasoning, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is "Normal".

When the children do new things that they did differently from what they did before, creativity, creativity is a skill that helps children to enhance their skills of thoughts, ideas, feeling, etc. It's just that they make new things on their own. Creativity is something kids like when they play or make connections for different reasons.
Hence, the correct answer is "Play".

Homework is what children do at home on their own. As children learn to do things on their own, they do again and again that makes them perfect and understand the concepts clearly and can explain it in their own words, but the thing that children are not social with people or not interacting with others. That's why the socialization process is an important skill in the life of a learner.
Hence, the correct answer is "Homework".

Learning is a process where we live, talk with others, learn new things which means we are interacting with others, and learning different skills like sitting, walking, eating, etc. We gain knowledge of what we are not aware of and also learn various skills that help us in the future.
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".

Child development focuses on human beings. Mainly, psychologists wanted to know how humans grow and change every year by emotion, social growth, how they learn, how their minds work, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is "Humans".

• The RTE Act was enacted in 2009 and came into effect in 2010.
• It guarantees the right of every child in the age group of 6 to 14 years to free and compulsory education in a neighborhood school.
• The Act also provides for a number of other safeguards, such as the prohibition of corporal punishment and the right to education for children with disabilities.

Hence, it can be concluded that Option (1) is the correct answer.

Student-Centered Learning, also known as learner-centered education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that require learners to actively construct their own knowledge and puts the responsibility for learning on them. 

• In child development, sequencing refers to the consistent order in which certain developmental milestones or abilities are typically acquired. While the sequencing of development tends to follow a predictable pattern, the speed at which children reach these milestones can vary between individuals.
• Individual action refers to the actions and behaviors of an individual child. Each child develops at their own pace, influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and individual characteristics. Some children may reach developmental milestones earlier or later than average, and the rate of development can vary across different areas, such as cognitive, motor, social, or emotional development.

The correct option among the given choices is Individual action.

Mainstreaming and inclusion are the parts of the pedagogical response.

• Mainstreaming is the practice of educating students with disabilities in the same general education classrooms as students without disabilities to the maximum extent appropriate.
• Inclusion is a more comprehensive approach to educating students with disabilities that goes beyond mainstreaming. It involves the full participation of students with disabilities in all aspects of school life, including the general education curriculum, extracurricular activities, and social events.
• Pedagogical integration refers to the process of incorporating different instructional strategies, approaches, and methodologies into teaching and learning practices.

Kohlberg's Theory: Kohlberg's theory is termed, the theory of moral development. The three stages are integrated into three levels - the pre-conventional level, the conventional level (stages 3 and 4), and the post-conventional level (stages 5 and 6) or autonomous level.

- The assertion is correct as learners from socially and culturally disadvantaged backgrounds indeed face challenges in academic achievement.

- The reason is also true as integrating these learners into the mainstream of society can help address these challenges.

- However, the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion because while integration can help, it may not fully explain or solve all the challenges these learners face.

- Assertion is true: Children's cognitive development does progress through distinct stages as categorized by Piaget.

- Reason is false: The reason statement is incorrect as it incorrectly states that children's thought patterns are fundamentally different from adults.

- The Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

- The assertion is correct as interacting effectively with the external environment is indeed essential for intelligence.

- The reason is false as the capacity for knowledge acquisition is a significant factor in human cognition.

- The assertion is true, but the reason is false, making Option C the correct choice.

- The assertion about formative assessment providing feedback is correct.
- The reason statement about summative assessment determining overall outcomes is also accurate.
- Moreover, the reason indeed explains why formative assessment involves providing feedback, making Option A the correct answer.

John Dewey, an American philosopher proposed the concept of 'Progressive Education' which emphasizes that learning takes place only through a 'hands-on' approach so the students must interact with their environment to adapt and learn.
