WB TET Mock Test - 3 - WBTET MCQ

'If you are given 100 rupees, what will you do?' The objective of asking this type of question is to give place to child's experience and thinking. The child will think how he can use 100 rupees judiciously and take into account his previous experience in doing so. Through the use of 100 rupees the priorities of the child will reflect which he/she gained from the past experiences. There can be a child who believes more in saving the money or there may be some who prefer spending. Hence the thinking of the child can reflect.

Observation is an assessment tool which helps in evaluating student, both individually and in a group. It also helps teacher in understanding the students and making adjustment in the learning methods accordingly.

NEP 2020 advocates for the use of technology as a supplement to traditional teaching methods to enhance learning experiences.

Indian education structure and management were guided by New Education Policy, of 1986 for a long time (almost 34 years). In the meantime, a lot of changes have taken place globally as well as a debate has also emerged in India about a ‘Bharat-centric’ policy on education.

• In order to look into those, a new committee was set up under the chairmanship of Dr. K. Kasturirangan in June 2017. After reviewing the suggestions, the committee finalized the policy under the name National Education Policy, 2020 on July 29, 2020. 

Key Points

Major recommendations of the policy were -

• The aim of equity and inclusion is now at the heart of the new NEP so the classroom should be inclusive.
• Ensuring universal access at all levels of schooling from pre-primary school to Grade 12.
• Ensuring quality early childhood care and education for all children between 3-6 years.
• New Curricular and Pedagogical Structure (5+3+3+4)including foundational, preparatory, middle, and secondary.
• Establishing National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy.
• Emphasis on promoting multilingualism and Indian languages. 
• Exposure to vocational education in school and higher education system.
• Focus on Formative and Diagnostic Assessment.
• Setting up multidisciplinary education and research universities(MERUs).
• Setting up of National Research Foundation(NRF).
• Multidisciplinary approach and focus on creative and divergent thinking.
• Experiential learning using previous knowledge and experiences.
• Teacher Education - 4-year integrated stage-specific, subject-specific Bachelor of Education.

Hence, it is concluded that all the above options are correct.

Excessive strictness is a negative trait that can lead to resistance in students. The teacher must strive to create an atmosphere where the students can learn without fearing of being ridiculed or belittled. They need an environment which is safe to learn by their mistakes.

Mr. Rathore uses a lot of audio-visual aids while teaching. The main reason for doing so is to take care of the requirements of all the children. Audio-visual aids make the learning permanent. They stimulate both aural and visual senses of children. Some children understand better on observation i.e. visual, whereas other students understand better on aural stimulation. Thus, requirements of all the students are taken care of.

The correct answer is National Higher Education Regulatory Council (NHERC).
Important PointsThe National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 proposed the creation of a Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) as a single overarching umbrella body for higher education.

• This new regulatory body would replace the existing separate regulatory institutions in the higher education sector to improve coordination and maintain standards.
• The HECI is set to have four independent verticals, namely:

1. National Higher Education Regulatory Council (NHERC)
2. General Education Council (GEC)
3. Higher Education Grants Council (HEGC)
4. National Accreditation Council (NAC)

Each of these verticals has specific roles and responsibilities, from regulation, to setting standards, to funding, to accreditation.

• According to NEP 2020, the first vertical of the HECI will be the National Higher Education Regulatory Council (NHERC).
• This council will be the primary regulator for higher education in India, including teacher education, excluding medical and legal education.
• This implies that all other bodies, like UGC and AICTE, would cease to be regulatory bodies and would only be responsible for standards setting and providing grants.

Therefore, the correct answer would be the "National Higher Education Regulatory Council (NHERC)".

Inclusive Education means education for all children in school as It refers to the inclusion of all children in the education system, regardless of their differences and disabilities.

• It values the diversity, each child brings to the classroom and facilitates all with equal opportunities to learn and grow.
• Inclusive education improves the quality and making provisions of education for all. >Inclusive education welcomes and celebrates diversity.
• It provides a provision to include disabled children along with normal children in a regular classroom environment.
• It refers to an education system that accommodates all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic, or other conditions.

Key Points

Basic Principles of Inclusive Education:

• Equity and equal opportunities for all.
• Well constructed educational plan.
• Use of multilingualism as a resource.
• Use of specific pedagogical strategies.
• Sensitization towards individual differences.

Important Points

Institutional initiative for inclusive education can be evidenced when :

• Time is provided for teams of teachers and paraprofessionals to plan together
• A differentiated curriculum is designed
• School provides students to explore different co-curricular activities as per their interests.

Additional Information

• Entry-level tests to enroll students should not be supported according to NCF
• School should have differentiated material for all students
• Instead of common assessments, assessments as per the need of learners should be conducted.

Hence, we can say that institutional initiative for inclusive education can be evidenced when time is provided for teams of teachers and paraprofessionals to plan together.

The greatest cause of failure of a new teacher is in the area of interpersonal relations. If the teacher is not able to develop a bond or relationship with the students, she will be rejected by the students and will face a lot of hardships.

Visual Impairment: The term 'visual impairment' is used to refer to not only those who are blind but also those who have their own vision. When the person has residual vision above a certain level, he is said to have low vision or poor vision. However, if the residual vision is below that level, he is considered to be blind.

Important Points

In a classroom situation, the total number of blind students should be 10-12, so that teacher can adopt the strategies which cater individual differences in the class.

Strategies to teach blind students in the classroom:

• Teachers who teach blind children in ordinary classrooms need to provide adequate special materials and equipment. There is almost universal agreement that the special materials and equipment needed by a visually impaired student in a regular school are essential to success.
• In addition, Friendly user materials are good teaching materials for blind children, and creative materials which are provided to blind children enhance dialogue and social interaction to complete an assignment. 
• Students with visual impairments who's knowledge of concepts are strong would have difficulty keeping pace with this rate of instruction unless it is entirely verbal.
• Purposeful sampling was used to select teachers who teach blind children in ordinary classrooms. Legibility for teacher’s participation in the study was based on the following criteria:
  • experience in teaching blind children with their distance vision assessment results indicating that they are blind with (visual acuity of (3/60 or worse).
  • Teaching ordinary classrooms,
  • fully attending school at the time of the study, and
  • gender balance was desirable but not necessary.
• The teacher who is guiding the blind children in ordinary classrooms is supposed to know more than the blind pupils who are being guided, that is why very many blind children have fallen victims to wrong teaching. Guidance is needed for blind children since they can hear, it is easy for them to learn.

Hence, we can conclude that in a classroom situation, the total number of blind students should be 10-12.

Group discussion is an excellent student-centric teaching strategy that can be used by teachers for promoting effective learning and student's participation. There are two types of group discussions- formal and informal. In formal type, the teacher is the group leader, assigns the topic and plays an active role in the discussion. In informal type, any student is the group leader, and topics or the time limit are not fixed, and the teacher plays a passive role. Group discussion has a great role in developing good communication skills among students, and improves their self-confidence and their cognitive abilities.

In the triarchic theory, three types of intelligence proposed by Robert Sternberg are: Analytical, Creative and Practical.

'A house divided against itself cannot stand' means if there is no unity within an organization or group nothing can be achieved.

Option 3 states this meaning and is the correct option. All other options imply other ideas.

Example- The management never made peace with the players, hence there was complete chaos, and the team eventually lost. Truly a house divided against itself cannot stand in the long run.

Answer: B. Leader

Explanation:
The analogy can be understood as follows:

- A doctor is a professional who provides medical care and is usually in a higher position than a nurse. A nurse is a healthcare professional who assists and supports the doctor in providing medical care. Thus, a nurse follows the instructions given by the doctor.

- Similarly, a leader is a person who provides guidance, direction, and support to a group of people or an organization. A follower is a person who supports and follows the instructions, ideas, or policies of the leader.

Hence, the correct option to complete the analogy is:

Doctor : Nurse :: Leader : Follower

Answer: A
Explanation:

The analogy can be understood as follows:
- Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China.
- Vatican City, also known as the Holy See, is an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy.

Therefore, the correct option to complete the analogy is:

Hong Kong : China :: Vatican : Rome

Since, the ratio of speeds is 3:5, the ratio of times would be 5:3. The difference in the times
would be 2 (if looked at in the 5:3 ratio context.) Further, since Ram takes 30 minutes longer, 2
corresponds to 30. Hence, using unitary method, 5 will correspond to 75 and 3 will correspond to
45 minutes. Hence at 10 kmph, Bharat would travel 7.5 km.

“Start a discussion in the class on things in the child's environment which roll and slide. Help children to look at their shapes and see how some things roll and others slide.” This is more like an interactive session where the teacher is trying to draw the student’s attention towards some practical usages of learning concepts.
Depending on the structure and shape of the figure it will either slide or roll. If the surface of the figure is smooth and round it will roll and if the surface is bent and creates friction then it will slide. It is imperative for the teachers to draw the students’ attention towards the shapes and sizes, the basic knowledge about our day to day things surrounding us.
Hence, the correct answer is "It is imperative for the teachers to draw the children's attention to the things around them".

The answer to the question is obtained by logical approach.

The objectives of teaching EVS at the primary level are, to connect the experiences of learners in school with the outside world, to make children aware of their surroundings, to internalize the values of concern for life and environment, arouse curiosity about the natural and social environment, engage in exploratory and hands-on activities that lead to the development of cognitive and psychomotor skills.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'To connect the experiences of learners in school with the outside world.'

The Chipko movement is also known as Chipko Andolan was a forest conservation movement in India. It was started in the 1970s in Uttarakhand, then a part of Uttar Pradesh (at the foothills of Himalayas) by Sundar Lal Bahuguna. It went on to become a rallying point for many future environmental movements all over the world.
It created a precedent for starting nonviolent protests in India, such as to hamper the rapid deforestation, expose vested interests, increase social awareness and therefore the got to save trees.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Sunder Lal Bahuguna.'

The teacher has to play a role of a facilitator in teaching EVS at the primary level as his role is to create such an atmosphere of learning where the children can themselves realize their true potential and can construct knowledge.

• A teacher is one who plays diverse roles like an innovator, action researcher, planner, manager, content provider, facilitator, leader, co-creator, etc.​

Environmental Science (EVS) is not a new subject in our school curriculum. It is rather a new approach and perspective for handling a curricular area that earlier went under such varied names as general knowledge, social studies, general science, nature knowledge/study, citizenship education for the young, and others.

In recent years, it has been increasingly felt that environmental study be made an integral component of the Primary School Curriculum. Such a curriculum should be need-based with reference to the pupil as well as the community on the whole.
