The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 is an education policy document in India that provides guidelines for school curriculum development. 

• The NCF 2005 emphasizes a constructivist approach to learning, which focuses on students actively constructing their knowledge and understanding through hands-on experiences, problem-solving, critical thinking, and inquiry-based learning.
• The framework emphasizes the development of higher-order thinking skills, application of knowledge to real-life situations, and fostering a deep understanding of concepts rather than rote memorization.
• It promotes a student-centered approach to education that encourages active engagement and the ability to think critically and creatively.

Hence, we can conclude that NCF 2005 emphasizes that most is on construction of knowledge.

School-based assessment was introduced to ensure the holistic development of all the students.

सतत एवं व्यापक मूल्यांकन को सीबीएसई द्वारा 2009 में शिक्षा के अधिकार अधिनियम के तहत मूल्यांकन की एक स्कूल आधारित प्रणाली के रूप में पेश किया गया है। यह बच्चे के सर्वांगीण विकास अर्थात विकास के 'शैक्षिक और सह-शैक्षिक' दोनों पहलुओं से संबंधित है।

• सतत एवं व्यापक मूल्यांकन का उद्देश्य "निदानात्मक ​​और उपचारात्मक शिक्षण" के माध्यम से विद्यार्थी की उपलब्धियों में सुधार कर मूल्यांकन को शिक्षण का अभिन्न अंग बनाना है। 
• निदानात्मक परीक्षण जहां विद्यार्थियों की शिक्षण संबंधी कमियों का सही अवलोकन करने में मदद करता है वहीं उपचारात्मक शिक्षण द्वारा उन कमियों और त्रुटियों को दूर करने का प्रयास किया जाता है।

मूल्यांकन के प्रयोजन-

• निश्चित समय उपरांत बच्चों की प्रगति जानने हेतु।
• बच्चों के व्यवहार में हुए परिवर्तन का पता लगाने हेतु।
• बच्चे की व्यक्तिगत और विशेष जरूरतों का पता लगाने हेतु।
• अधिक उपयुक्त तरीकों के आधार पर अध्यापन और सीखने की योजना बनाने हेतु।
• कोई बच्चा क्या कर सकता और क्या नहीं, उसकी किन चीजों में विशेष रूची है, वह क्या करना चाहता है और क्या नहीं, इन सबके प्रति समझ बनाने और बच्चे की मदद करने हेतु।
• कक्षा में चल रही सीखने-सिखाने की प्रक्रिया को बेहतर बनाने हेतु।
• बच्चों में व्याप्त परीक्षा के भय को दूर करना और उन्हें स्व-आकलन हेतु प्रोत्साहित करना।
• प्रत्येक बच्चे को सीखने और विकास में मदद करना और सुधार की संभावनाएँ खोजना।
• नकल की प्रवृत्ति को रोकना व सृजनशीलता को बढ़ावा देना।

​अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि बच्चों को मूल्यांकन के डर से अध्ययन के लिए प्रेरित करना मूल्यांकन का प्रयोजन नहीं है।

मुदिता आठवीं कक्षा में हिन्दी भाषा पढ़ाती हैं। कविता के भाव के बारे में बातचीत करते समय आप उन्हें कविता का एक निश्चित भाव, अर्थ नहीं हो सकता बात के प्रति सचेत रहने की सलाह देगें।

प्रत्यय के भेद - प्रत्यय के दो प्रकार है -
(1) कृत् प्रत्यय
(2) तद्धित प्रत्यय

प्राकृतिक विधि मातृभाषा सीखने की विधि है। इस विधि में बालक की जो मातृभाषा होती है उसे बिना मध्यस्थ बनाये उसे अन्य भाषा सीखायी जाती है अर्थात मातृभाषा की सहायता नहीं लेकर बल्कि विद्यार्थी को सीधे बार-बार मौखिक एवं लिखित अभ्यास द्वारा नयी भाषा सीखायी जाती है। इसमें क्षेत्रीय भाषा का प्रयोग भी नहीं किया जाता है।

भाषा एक व्यावहारिक विषय है अत: उसके अभ्यासों में इतनी संभावना होनी चाहिए कि वे बच्चों को भाषा-प्रयोग के साथ सार्थक अवसर प्रदान कर सके। प्रश्नों का स्वरूप ऐसा हो जहाँ बच्चे अपने निजी अनुभवों को साझा कर सकें। अपनी अभिव्यक्ति को सुदृढ़ बना सकें। निर्धारित एवं निश्चित उत्तरों से आगे विभिन्‍न उत्तरों वाले प्रश्नों को अभ्यासों में स्थान दिया जाना चाहिए।

• छात्र को अपनी भाषा का ऐसा ज्ञान हो कि वह भाषा प्रयोग के विभिन्न क्षेत्रो में एवं सन्दर्भो में यथोचित भाषा शैली प्रयुक्ति अवं सामाजिक या संस्थागत शिष्टाचारों से भली भाँति अवगत हो सके।

In linguistics, a compound is a lexeme (less precisely, a word) that consists of more than one stem.

The closed form, in which the words are melded together, such as firefly, secondhand, softball, childlike, crosstown, redhead, keyboard, makeup, notebook;
The hyphenated form, such as daughter-in-law, master-at-arms, over-the-counter, six-pack, six-year-old, mass-produced; and The open form, such as post office, real estate, middle class, full moon, half sister, attorney general.
Blending: A blend is a word formed by joining parts of two words after clipping. An example is 'smog', which comes from 'smoke' and 'fog', or 'brunch', which comes from 'breakfast' and 'lunch'.

Let the breadth of the rectangle = b cm
A cm² = l cm x b cm
Or, A = lb
Or, b = A/l
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b) cm
= 2(l + A /l) cm = (2l + 2A/l) cm
Thus, option (4) is correct.

The radio waves transmitted from the Earth are reflected back to the Earth by ionosphere, which occupies the same region of the upper atmosphere as the thermosphere. So option 4 is the correct answer.

Learning is the process of being modified, more or less permanently, by what happens in the world around us, by what we do, or by what we observe.

• How people are spread across the Earth's surface is known as the pattern of population distribution.
• More than 90 per cent of the world's population lives on about 30 per cent of the land surface.
• The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven.
• Some areas are very crowded and some are sparely populated.
• The crowded areas are south and southeast Asia, Europe and Northeastern North America.
• Very few people live in high-latitude areas, tropical deserts, and high mountains are areas of equatorial forests.
• Sixty per cent of the world's population stays in 10 countries.
• Factors affecting the distribution of population are geographical, social, cultural and economic factors.

Thus, we can say that the above statements about the population are correct.

An inquiry-based approach emphasizes to connect the child with their own experiences by posing questions and making decisions in the search of new understanding. 

An “open book examination” is one in which examinees are allowed to consult their class notes, textbooks, and other approved material while answering questions.
