Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 2

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, proposed that children's cognitive development proceeds through four stages:

  • Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years): Children use their senses and motor abilities to understand the world around them. They learn through direct experiences with objects and people.
  • Preoperational stage (2 to 7 years): Children develop mental symbols to represent objects and ideas. They begin to use language and engage in pretend play.
  • Concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years): Children develop the ability to think logically and systematically about concrete objects and events. They become more skilled at solving problems.
  • Formal operational stage (11 years and beyond): Children develop abstract thinking skills and are able to reason logically about abstract concepts and hypothetical situations.

These stages are not fixed and children may move through them at different rates. The stages provide a general framework for understanding children's cognitive development and can help educators tailor their instruction to meet the needs and abilities of their students.

गोंड जनजाति, भारत की एक प्रमुख जातीय समुदाय हैं। भारत के कटि प्रदेश- विंध्यपर्वत, सिवान, सतपुड़ा पठार, छत्तीसगढ़ मैदान में दक्षिण तथा दक्षिण-पश्चिम - में गोदावरी नदी तक फैले हुए पहाड़ों और जंगलों में रहने वाली आस्ट्रोलायड नस्ल तथा द्रविड़ परिवार की एक जनजाति, जो संभवत: पाँचवीं-छठी शताब्दी में दक्षिण से गोदावरी के तट को पकड़कर मध्य भारत के पहाड़ों में फैल गई। यह एक स्वतंत्र जनजाति थी, जिसका अपना राज्य था और जिसके 52 गढ़ थे। मध्य भारत में 14वीं से 18वीं शताब्दी तक इसका राज्य रहा था। मुग़ल शासकों और मराठा शासकों ने इन पर आक्रमण कर इनके क्षेत्र पर अधिकार कर लिया और इन्हें घने जंगलों तथा पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में शरण लेने को बाध्य किया। गोंड जनजाति के लोग काले तथा गहरे भूरे रंग के होते हैं। गोंड अपने वातावरण द्वारा प्रस्तुत भोजन सामग्री एवं कृषि से प्राप्त वस्तुओं पर अधिक निर्भर रहते हैं। इनका मुख्य भोजन कोदों, ज्वार और कुटकी मोटे अनाज होते हैं, जिन्हें पानी में उबालकर 'झोल' या 'राबड़ी' अथवा 'दलिया' के रूप में दिन में तीन बार खाया जाता है। रात्रि में चावल अधिक पसन्द किये जाते हैं। कभी-कभी कोदों और कुटकी के साथ सब्जी एवं दाल का भी प्रयोग किया जाता है। गोंड खेतिहर हैं और परंपरा से दहिया खेती करते हैं जो जंगल को जलाकर उसकी राख में की जाती है और जब एक स्थान की उर्वरता तथा जंगल समाप्त हो जाता है तब वहाँ से हटकर दूसरे स्थान को चुन लेते हैं। किंतु सरकारी निषेध के कारण यह प्रथा बहुत कम हो गई है। अनेक गोंड लंबे समय से हिन्दू धर्म तथा संस्कृति के प्रभाव में हैं और कितनी ही जातियों तथा कबीलों ने बहुत से हिन्दू विश्वासों, देवी देवताओं, रीति रिवाजों तथा वेशभूषा को अपना लिया है। पुरानी प्रथा के अनुसार मृतकों को दफनाया जाता है, किंतु बड़े और धनी लोगों के शव को जलाया जाने लगा है। स्त्रियाँ तथा बच्चे दफनाए जाते हैं। 

Q. गोंड जनजाति भारत की एक प्रमुख ____ समुदाय हैं।

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 10

गोंड जनजाति भारत की एक प्रमुख जातीय समुदाय है।

  • गद्यांश के अनुसार - गोंड जनजाति भारत की एक प्रमुख जातीय समुदाय है।
REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 11

भाषा प्रवीणता के मूल्यांकन में डिकोडिंग का अर्थ है:

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 11

डिकोडिंग: यह अलग-अलग शब्दों को पढ़ने और अपरिचित शब्दों को सटीक और स्वचालित रूप से बाहर निकालने की क्षमता को संदर्भित करता है। पढ़ने की अधिकांश समस्याएं डिकोडिंग में कठिनाई से संबंधित हैं।
डिकोडिंग का मूल्यांकन तीन तरीकों से किया जाना चाहिए:

  • पाठक के लिए संदर्भ सुराग को खत्म करने के लिए शब्द सूचियों का डिकोडिंग,
  • शब्दों की याद को खत्म करने के लिए निरर्थक शब्दों को पढ़ना,
  • संदर्भ में पढ़ना।

इसलिए, हम यह निष्कर्ष निकाल सकते हैं कि भाषा दक्षता का मूल्यांकन करने में डिकोडिंग व्यक्तिगत शब्दों को पढ़ने और अपरिचित शब्दों को सटीक रूप से बाहर निकालने की क्षमता को संदर्भित करता है।

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 12

शिक्षिका कविता शिक्षण के बाद बच्चों को उनकी घर में बोली जाने वाली बोली में बात करने का अवसर देती है। यह उपागम बहुभाषिकता को संसाधन के रूप में उपयोग करने जैसा है।
बहुभाषिकता: भिन्न-भिन्न प्रांतों के बच्चों द्वारा अलग-अलग प्रकार की भाषा बोले जाने को भाषायी विविधता या बहु-भाषिकता कहा जाता है। बहु-भाषिकता भारत की संस्कृति का अभिन्न अंग है।

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 13

निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा 'अन्त: क्रियात्मक परिकल्पना' का समर्थन नहीं करता है?

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 13

बच्चे निष्क्रिय गतिविधियों की अपेक्षा अन्तः क्रियात्मक गतिविधियों के माध्यम से अधिक सीखते हैं-सामाजिक संपर्क मायने रखता है- 

  • ​​जब हम कहते हैं कि "सामाजिक संपर्क मायने रखता है," हम संचार की "आगे और पीछे" प्रकृति पर जोर दे रहे हैं।
  • अनुसंधान इस तथ्य का समर्थन करता है कि बच्चों को वास्तविक लोगों के साथ वास्तविक जीवन के आदान-प्रदान की आवश्यकता होती है। 
  • खेल के दौरान, भोजन के समय, बिस्तर की तैयारी करते समय या कहानी पढ़ते समय, परिवार के सदस्यों या शिक्षकों के लिए बच्चों के साथ बातचीत करने के सभी बेहतरीन अवसर होते हैं।
  • अन्त: क्रियात्मक परिकल्पना के अन्तर्गत वो सब गतिविधियाँ आती है जिनमें बालक विभिन्न लोगों के साथ बातचीत में सक्रिय रूप से भाग लेता है।
  • 'अन्त: क्रियात्मक परिकल्पना' का समर्थन करने के लिए चयनित विषयों पर समूह परियोजना कार्य, शिक्षार्थियों को विनिमय के अवसर (बातचीत) प्रदान करना और समूह कार्य, जोड़ों में कार्य और समूची कक्षा में एक साथ कार्य इन सभी विकल्पों के तहत आता है।

अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि अध्यापक द्वारा व्याख्यान और श्रुतलेखन कार्य 'अन्त: क्रियात्मक परिकल्पना' का समर्थन नहीं करता है।

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 14

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 14

बच्चे घर-परिवार एवं परिवेश से सर्वप्रथम भाषा बोलना सीखते हैं। पहली बार विद्यालय में आने वाला बच्चा शब्दों के अर्थ और उनके प्रभाव से परिचित होता है।
सर्वप्रथम भाषा बच्चे अर्जन से सीखते हैं। प्राथमिक स्तर पर बच्चों के शुरुआती भाषा में परिवार में होने वाली परस्पर बातचीत का माहौल बच्चे के भाषा विकास में प्रभावकारी भुमिका निभाता है। परिवार में होने वाली बातचीत जितनी अधिक गुणवत्तापूर्ण होगी भाषा  विकास में उतनी ही अधिक सहायक होगी। 
अतः हम कह सकते है कि परिवार में होने वाली परस्पर गुणवत्तापूर्ण बातचीत प्राथमिक स्तर पर बच्चों के शुरुआती भाषा-विकास में सर्वाधिक योगदान दे सकती है।

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 15

In the Constructivist Approach, language is taught by 

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 15

The existing English language teaching methodologies have inherent problems in that they ignore the innate ability of children to acquire language and instead focus on rigid practice-based programs.

  • The constructivist approach, on the other hand, is a movement away from learning to acquisition with new perspectives of looking at language, language acquisition, the learners, teacher, teaching materials, and so on. The output and success are measured by the discourse that the students are able to construct.
  • The constructivist approach of language teaching gives primacy to collaborative learning by involving learners in discussions and projects. In the Constructivist Approach, language is taught by enabling students to create new knowledge based on past experiences and engaging in various activities as it:
    • Emphasizes collaboration with others for learning. 
    • Ensures the active involvement of learners and promotes peer tutoring. 
    • Allows learners to foster their own strategy of learning to perform a task. 
    • Provides ample opportunities to learners to make them work at their own pace. 
    • Views learners as makers of meaning and creators of knowledge through social interaction. 
    • Prepares students to create new knowledge​, draw conclusions, and compare their findings.

Hence, it could be concluded that in the Constructivist Approach, language is taught by enabling students to create new knowledge based on past experiences and engaging in various activities.

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 18

Direction: ​Read the given passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Everything that men do or think concerns either the satisfaction of the needs they feel or the need to escape from pain. This must be kept in mind when we seek to understand spiritual or intellectual movements and the way in which they develop, for feeling and longing are the motive forces of all human striving and productivity – however nobly these latter may display themselves to us.
What, then, are the feelings and the needs which have brought mankind to religious thought and to faith in the widest sense? A moment’s consideration shows that the most varied emotions stand at the cradle of religious thought and experience.
In primitive people, it is, first of all, fear that awakens religious ideas – fear of hunger, of wild animals, of illness, and of death. Since the understanding of causal connections is usually limited on this level of existence, the human soul forges a being, more or less like itself, on whose will and activities depend the experiences which it fears. One hopes to win the favor of this being, by deeds and sacrifices, which according to the tradition of the race are supposed to appease the being or to make him well disposed to man. I call this the religion of fear.
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. Often a leader or despot will combine the function of the priesthood with its own temporal rule for the sake of greater security, or an alliance may exist between the interests of political power and the priestly caste.

Q. How did religion become firmly established?

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 18

REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 20

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate options:
(1) We embarked along the sapphire route along National Highway 17 for a sun-soaked holiday. This route along Karnataka’s Karavali coast is India’s best beach and temple country. Flanked by the soaring Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west, the Karavali stretch is a scenic treat all the way.
(2) The first halt in our coastal circuit in Uttara Kannada district was Bhatkal. Bhatkal is where Konkani begins to share space with Tulu. A 4-km drive out of town took us to the beach and the small fishing wharf. At the bazaar, we tried out the two local specialities – date halwa and a salted roti. One also shouldn’t miss the Bhatkal biriyani.
(3) Gokarna is a charming little town with temples, a wide expanse of beach, two principal streets and clusters of traditional tile-roofed brick houses. You’ll also find quaint Udupi food joints, souvenir shops, and cyber cafes here.
(4) Once the ‘temple fatigue’ set in, we indulged in some sedate sea-watching. Om beach, one of Gokarna’s famed five, takes the shape of an ‘Om’, a spiritual symbol. The road twists through alleys, past people’s houses, temple chariots and ‘Way to Beach’ signs. The other pristine beaches, wedged between gigantic cliffs that protrude like delicate fingers into the sea, are Gokarna, Kudle, Half Moon and Paradise.
(5) The last halt in our coastal itinerary was Karwar. Karwar was the erstwhile trading outpost of foreigners. It is said that even the great explorer Vasco da Gama walked on the golden sands of Karwar. Apart from the excellent harbour, four beaches that offer sun, sand, surf and sport and five islands, Karwar has much more to offer.
(6) A short boat ride away you’ll find the excellent Devbagh Beach and five idyllic islands. With its pristine beach, and an eco-friendly resort with ethnic log huts, it is a romantic hideaway offering complete privacy and solitude sans the five-star trappings.
(7) We followed Tagore’s footsteps and took a boat cruise up the Kali from the mouth. We spotted dolphins as they gracefully dived into azure waters. From the island one can have a gorgeous view of the sea, sand and the neighbouring islands. As we returned from our coastal odyssey, we realised Karnataka is not short of fabulous beaches but lacks salesmen of its ravishing beauty.

Q. What does the author mean by saying ‘…Karnataka is not short of fabulous beaches but lacks salesmen of its ravishing beauty’

Detailed Solution for REET Level 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - Question 20

The author is trying to say that though Karnataka has many beautiful beaches, the beauty of the beaches is not known far and wide. ‘..lacks salesmen’ means that not many have tried to talk about Karnataka’s beaches and the beauty it beholds. The author also says there is no lack of beaches in Karnataka.
