CTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 5 - CTET & State TET MCQ

If the student is rewarded for his work, he would be stimulated to work in a better way and start showing more interest towards his/her studies.

Listening skills of the students are improved because students listen to stories with full interest and enjoy them.

Principle of continuity was given by Gottfried Leibnez, which states that 'Development is a never ending process'.

Cognition is defined as the act of gaining knowledge through senses, thought and know-how.

Educational psychology is related with the study of the learning process in humans. So, the potentiality of a student can be known by the teacher through educational psychology.

For studying a map, the knowledge of distances, places and directions are very important. So, if a teacher has the knowledge of these factors, she can easily make the students understand maps.

Nowadays, TV is very common and well recognised. It is considered better than radio for learning purpose as it utilises two senses, i.e. hearing and vision at the same time, prompting a more exact type of learning.

The Ministry of Women and Child Development makes laws and regulations to take care of the women and child development in India.

Plain demonstration and experiments by teachers is the best way to enable the students to learn on their own and sharpen their observation skills.

Social values refer to the ways by which an individual behaves in the society. If the teacher behaves ideally in class, she will be able to develop social values in her student as the students learn from their teachers.

Teachers who work under School-Based Assessment observe students minutely daily to assess their values and attitudes.
Assessment is a process that is embedded in a teaching-learning process. It starts with planning the assessment programmes and ends with the final feedback given to the students. It is necessary to assess the student's strengths and weaknesses, skills, etc. of the students.
Hence, this is the correct answer.

According to Piaget, after the age of seven, children move into the second stage of morality from the first stage of the morality of constraint, and this stage is known as the Morality of Cooperation. 
The Morality of Cooperation stage is defined as the stage in which children can see from the other's point of view. They start recognising that the rules are not absolute they can be changed as per the necessary situations.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Morality of Cooperation.'

Grades and marks come in the category of analytic. When analysis of the performance of the students is done on the basis of grades and marks, it is more reliable and accurate than marks in terms of all possible potential of the students.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Analytic.'

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence is also known as three forms of intelligence propounded by Robert Sternberg, who was a prominent figure in the research of human intelligence. The theory explains the basic information processing components consist of three facets:

• Componential-Analytical Subtheory
• Experiential-Creative Subtheory
• Practical-Contextual Subtheory

Hence, the correct answer is, 'Practical Intelligence.'

Jean Piaget has given four stages of cognitive development:
The Sensorimotor stage is the first stage that lies from Birth to 18–24 months old. In this stage, infants "THINK' with their eyes, ears and hands. The Pre-operational Stage is the second stage lies from 2 to 7 years old. The Concrete Operational Stage is the third stage that lies from 7 to 11 years old. The Formal Operational Stage is the fourth stage that lies from Adolescence to adulthood.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Sensorimotor stage.'

Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development focuses on linguistic, social and cultural development in his theories but does not focus on biological development. It is because of social interactions or imaginative plays, cognitive development takes place in the children. He believes that socialization starts with the schools and communities that engage children in discovering and exploring new things. Hence, the correct answer is, 'Biological.'

Girl students are as good at Mathematics as boys of their age. Abilities and skills are not limited to a particular gender. Capabilities in Mathematics is nothing to do with gender. Both are equally capable. Girls are not less than boys in any sector, field.
Hence, this is the correct answer.

According to the theory of social learning of Albert Bandura, Modelling is a way through which behaviour is learned. Modelling is an activity where a child learns behaviour by imitating and copying the behaviour of others. When a child observes the behaviour of any person and then tries to copy or imitate that behaviour that means he is modelling the behaviour. Hence, the correct answer is, 'Modelling is a principal way for children to learn.'

The Law of effect principle was propounded by Edward Thorndike. According to this principle, any behavior is followed by pleasant consequences that get repeated whereas if it is followed by unpleasant consequences it gets stops. Edward Thorndike has given a learning theory that leads to the development of operant conditioning within Behaviorism.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'E.L Thorndike.'

A Concept map is a type of diagram that depicts relationships between concepts. The relationship is represented in circles or boxes; concepts are linked through words and phrases. These words and phrases explain the connection between ideas and help students understand information and concepts.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Increase the ability to organize information logically.'

Howard Gardner (1983), an American Psychologist, proposed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In his book ‘Frames of Mind’, he pointed out that he did not believe there was “one form of cognition which cut across all human thinking. There are multiple intelligences with autonomous intelligence capacities.”
Verbal-Linguistic Ability:

• Linguistic Intelligence refers to the ability to use language.
• It is the capacity to use spoken and written words in a skilled way.
• Individuals with high verbal-linguistic intelligence are very good at using words and language to express themselves, articulate things, and create.
• They can use the language fluently and flexibly and creatively.
• They can learn various languages easily.
• Poets, writers, lawyers, journalists, teachers, politicians, philosophers, and speakers are very strong in this component of intelligence.
• Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, William Shakespeare, Gulzar, R.K. Narayan, Chetan Bhagat are some people high on verbal-linguistic intelligence. 

From the above, we can conclude that a person, who is a fluent speaker, is likely to possess the verbal-linguistic ability.

Gender refers to the socially constructed differences between men and women. It refers to the masculine and feminine qualities, behavior, roles, and responsibilities that society upholds. Gender can be changed / re-oriented.
Characteristics by which a teacher can reduce the gender gap among children:

• In a classroom, teachers should have to treat boys and girls equally.
• Making the environment of the classroom flexible for all, all as treated as students instead of girls or a boy.
• Teachers should provide equal opportunities to both girls and boys.
• There is no place for particularized activities for girls and some for boys. Everything is for both.

So, option (3) is the correct answer.

Diversity in literary terms means differences. The term diversity, when used in discourse related to people or communities or in social contexts is more specific.

• Diversity is that a group of people is made up of individuals who are different from each other in some way or the other or it means collective differences among people, that is, those differences which mark off one group of people from another.
  For example, differences in culture, language, gender, appearance (e.g. skin color, hair type) lifestyle, social and economic status, family structure, abilities, (e.g. physical, social, creative, and intellectual), values, and beliefs.
• In the classroom, it is important that the children interact with each other to minimize the effects of differences with respect to gender, religion, class, caste etc.

 Therefore, it can be concluded that one way of minimizing the effects of diversity is to allow the children to Socialize with each other.

Critical thinking is clear, rational, and disciplined. The thinker is open to reorganizing and raising the efficiency of his thought process by reflecting on them. 
Creating a forum for students to debate points of view:

• A debate is an organized argument or idea in which the participants discuss a topic.
• It allows students to analyze arguments, evidence, and ideas.
• It broadens critical thinking skills.
• Critical thinking skill is the ability to identify the central issue or the unifying theme and the possible assumptions of an argument.
• In debate, students put their points of view in front of each other which develops their critical thinking skills.

Thus, it is concluded that creating a forum for students to debate points of view is the best strategy that supports a teacher’s goal to incorporate critical thinking skills into language arts lessons.

Assessment is integral to the teaching-learning process which helps in facilitating student learning and improving instruction.

• Formative assessment is goal-centered that is, it focuses attention on successful teaching and learning of important learning goals and standards.
• It identifies the learning gaps and deficiencies in teaching.
• In this form of assessment, a teacher embeds various forms of assessment all through the teaching and learning process. 
• Therefore, it is an ongoing assessment that allows teachers to monitor students on a day-to-day basis and modify their teaching based on what the students need to be successful.

For example, during a teaching in a class teacher ask questions, the teacher says to discuss among peer groups, observe children as they work on their tasks, a teacher receives feedback from students during teaching etc.

- Assertion is correct. Inclusive education is indeed crucial for promoting inclusivity and tolerance in society.

- Reason is correct. Inclusive education does ensure equal opportunities for learning and success for all individuals.

- The reason is the correct explanation of the assertion because promoting equal opportunities and success aligns with fostering an inclusive and tolerant society.

Assertion: True, as learning comprises a series of psychological processes distinct from performance.

Reason: Also true, as skill learning is a type of learning focused on mastering specific tasks.

Explanation: The reason aptly explains the assertion, making Option A the correct answer.

Assertion: The assertion is true as learning indeed encompasses a range of psychological events.

Reason: The reason is false as it incorrectly states that different types of learning contribute to knowledge and skills.

Explanation: While learning does involve various types like observational and cognitive learning, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

• Assertion: The assertion is correct. Child-centred learning indeed requires an understanding of child psychology to adapt teaching methods to suit individual needs.
• Reason: The reason is false as it inaccurately describes the sole reason for the shift from traditional testing methods to Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation.
• Explanation: While child psychology plays a crucial role in child-centred learning, the reason provided does not directly explain the assertion. Child-centred learning encompasses various aspects beyond evaluation methods, such as practical orientation and managing discipline.

Inclusion is all about effective learning by all children which is based on the social model of equality of opportunity. The practice is based on the principle of respect for difference and acceptance of diversity as part of nature and humanity. 

• In the inclusive system of education, an Individualized Educational Plan, commonly known as IEP, is developed for those students who have special needs. 
• Individualized Education Program focuses on providing appropriate education and training to every child with a disability, including those with mental retardation.
• In IEP, teachers need to understand the child’s background well by collecting information on the child’s personal details, family environment, etc.
• This will help the teacher not only to build a rapport with the child but find out his/her strengths in both academic, non-academic, and life skill areas.
