WB TET Mock Test - 4 - WBTET MCQ

NEP 2020 suggests a flexible undergraduate education system with a duration of 3 or 4 years, depending on the choices made by students.

The aim of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, as proposed by the government of India, is to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education to 50% by 2035.
Important Points

The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education in India is calculated as the number of students enrolled in higher education institutions (HEIs) as a percentage of the population of the group which is officially defined as eligible for higher education.

• The aim to increase the GER to 50% by 2035 is a part of broader goals of the NEP 2020, which include universalization of education from pre-school to secondary level, extension of Right to Education Act 2009 to cover children of ages 3 to 18, and major reforms in higher education among others.

So, the answer to your question is: 50%
Additional Information

• The policy also envisions a restructuring of higher education institutions into three types - Research Universities, Teaching Universities, and Autonomous degree-granting colleges, all of which would have autonomy to innovate on matters of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment.
• The NEP 2020 also advocates the use of technology in education, making education more student-centric, fostering critical thinking, and reducing the content load in the curriculum.
• Overall, the objective of increasing the GER to 50% in higher education by 2035 is part of the NEP's broader aim to overhauling the Indian education system, making it more modern, inclusive, and quality-oriented.

Co-teaching involves two teachers working together to plan a classroom and make assessments on one group of students. A strategy to pair teaching candidates with more experienced teachers as a mentor.

Models of Co-teaching

• One Teach, One Observe: One teacher is directly teaching or giving instruction to students while the other teacher acts as observes to students for evidence of learning.
• One Teach, One Assist. One teacher would kee responsible for teaching the students while the other teacher circulated through the room providing not attracting attention assistance to students as per students' needs.
• Parallel Teaching: The class is divided into two groups and each teacher teaches the same information at the same time with a different method or thinking according to teacher and children respectively.
• Station Teaching. Teachers divide content /chapters and students. Each teacher then teaches the content/chapter to one group and repeats the instruction for the other group.
• Alternative Teaching:  In alternative teaching, one teacher takes responsibility for the large group of students while the other works with a smaller group of students. This teaching arises in which several students need specialized attention.
• Team Teaching: Both the teachers are delivering the same instruction at the same time to the class. Some teachers refer to this type of teaching as having one brain in two bodies. Others call it tag-team teaching.

Since parallel teaching involves teaching the same information at the same time with a different method or thinking, thereby it reinforces the knowledge as well provides a better road map for an inclusive teaching/classroom.

Additional Information

Computer-mediated teaching: Computer-mediated teaching refers to students' communication via computers with the help of their teacher and it includes many different forms of synchronous, asynchronous, or real-time interaction that students have with each other using computers as tools to exchange text, images, audio, and video.

Blended learning: In blended learning teacher combines online educational materials and gives opportunities for online interaction with traditional place-based classroom methods. It is also known as hybrid learning.

Role Play: In role-play, students apply their thinking as they are put in the role of a decision-maker who must make a decision regarding a policy, resource, or some other outcome. This allows students to interact with their classmates as they try to complete the task assigned to them in their specific role students are more engaged. This technique is an excellent tool for engaging students.

Teachers in multi-age classrooms are encouraged to use a range of teaching and assessment strategies to address the different ages of their students, implement flexible patterns of grouping, accommodate specific learning goals, engage all students in active participation, and promote a climate of respect for oneself and others.

Inclusive Education:

• It refers to an education system that accommodates all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic, or other conditions.
• It provides a provision to include disabled children along with normal children in a regular classroom environment.

An inclusive classroom refers to an education system that includes children regardless of physical, intellectual, social, linguistic, or other differently-abled conditions.

• In an inclusive classroom with diverse learners, cooperative learning, and peer-tutoring is actively promoted to facilitate peer-acceptance.
  • Cooperative learning: It refers to a heterogeneous group where students work collaboratively to achieve learning outcomes. It develops critical thinking, brainstorming, communication, and life long learning skills.
  • Peer tutoring: It refers to the learning process where fellow students teach each other. In this strategy, a higher-performing student is paired with a lower performing student to teach specific skills.
• An inclusive classroom is not limited to children with a disability but also gifted children, economically disadvantaged children, children from remote populations, children belonging to ethnic, linguistic, or cultural minorities, or children from other marginalized groups.

Therefore, Social skills development can become a positive strength for normal children in inclusive classrooms.

The instructions of a teacher must be based on the child's abilities, aptitude and interest. His ability to grasp and apply things, his natural ability to justify learning and his interest to learn a particular thing could decide the teaching strategies, as the education these days has become more child-centered. The teacher must be aware of the child's abilities, aptitude, and interest, which is possible only through proper evaluation.

‘Choice of challenge’ is a characteristic of motivation.

Motivation is the drive to achieve something in life that satisfies one’s needs. There are two primary types of motivation namely, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. A number of behavioural characteristics are indicators of high motivation. Here are some of the important factors and some ways to help a child develop these characteristics:

• Persistence is the ability to stay with a task for a reasonably long period of time. While very young children cannot concentrate on one activity for an hour, there are still measurable differences in the length of time that young children will engage in an activity. A highly motivated child will stay involved for a long period of time, whereas an unmotivated child will give up very easily when not instantly successful.  Children learn persistence when they are successful at a challenging task.
• Choice of challenge is another characteristic of motivation. Children who experience success in meeting one challenge will become motivated, welcoming another. These motivated learners will choose an activity that is slightly difficult for them but provides an appropriate challenge. Unmotivated children (those who have not experienced early success) will pick something that is very easy and ensures instant success.
• The amount of dependency on adults is another indicator of motivation. Children with strong intrinsic motivation do not need an adult constantly watching and helping with activities. Children who have a lower level of motivation or are extrinsically motivated need constant attention from adults and cannot function independently.
• The last indicator of motivational level is emotion. Children who are clearly motivated will have a positive display of emotion. They are satisfied with their work and show more enjoyment in the activity. Children without appropriate motivation will appear quiet, sullen and bored.

The sentence indicates to the extreme hypocrisy of the religious leader, who even after being proven guilty does not want to give away his god-like, self-righteous stature. Hence, the correct answer should be 1 because of 'sanctimoniously' means 'self-righteous'. The other options 'sacrilegious', 'profane', and 'violated' respectively mean blasphemous, non-religious, disobeying the prescribed rules and regulations and corrupt.

The correct preposition to use in the given sentence is "between." Let's examine the options and understand why "between" is the best choice.

A: between
- This is the correct choice because it indicates that Mary is sitting in the middle of John and Jill, with one person on each side.
B: on
- This would imply that Mary is sitting physically on top of John and Jill, which is incorrect and not suitable in this context.
C: in front of
- This would indicate that Mary is sitting ahead of John and Jill, which doesn't make sense in this context as it doesn't convey the idea of Mary sitting with them.
D: over
- Similar to "on," this would imply that Mary is sitting above John and Jill, which is incorrect and not suitable in this context.
Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence is "between."

Given:
The time = 2:58 p.m.
Concept:
1 hour = 60 minutes
Calculation:
⇒ 2 hours 58 minutes = (2 × 60) + 58 = 120 + 58 = 178 minutes
⇒ 4 hours 59 minutes = (4 × 60) + 59 = 240 + 59 = 299 minutes
⇒ The difference between them = 299 - 178 = 121 minutes or (2 hours 1 minutes)
⇒ Now this 2 hours 1 minutes will be before 12 p.m. then, 
⇒ Required timing = (12 × 60) - 121 = 720 - 121 = 599 or (9 hours 59 minutes)
∴ The required result will be 9 : 59 a.m.

Hence, the correct answer is, 'Assam.'

• Plants prepare their food by the process called photosynthesis. 
• During photosynthesis, plants trap solar energy or light energy with the help of chloroplast present in the green leaves and convert it into Chemical energy.
• A pigment called chlorophyll is present in the chloroplasts which are required in trapping sunlight.
• Plants utilize Carbon dioxide and water for the synthesis of carbohydrates during photosynthesis, oxygen is liberated as a side product.
• This gaseous exchange occurs through the stomata present on the leaf surface.

These events can be demonstrated by the following equation:
