• Meaning of Inflexible: that cannot be changed or made more suitable for a particular situation; rigid
• Meaning of Bitter: caused by anger or hatred
• Meaning of Good-natured: friendly or kind
• Meaning of Disguisedly sarcastic: showing or expressing opposite of

Hence Correct Answer is Option D

Reciprocate: To behave or feel towards somebody in the same way as we behave or feel towards you ; give in return

Option 1 is incorrect because the passage does not necessitate learning and gaining knowledge for everyone. It is just an advisory and it qualifies its advice by stating that one must pursue it if one has the time and the resources for it.
Option 2 is correct. The example given at the very outset highlights the point that it is never too late to study. The passage states some handicaps for studies beyond a certain age. Yet it concludes by saying that if there is "dedication, motivation, and persistence to become a student at a later stage in life," the handicaps cannot be "an insurmountable barrier in the path of one's self-actualisation." Therefore, option 2 is the right answer.
Option 3 is incorrect because the opposite is mentioned in the passage. Refer to the line "Another factor that might get in the way of effective studying after a certain age is your capabilities. ... It is a known fact that with age, our memory, attention, and ability to learn may decrease greatly - studying may become a much more difficult challenge than it could have been when we were younger."
Option 4 is incorrect because it is rather extreme to say that memory decreases 'greatly' making one 'incapable'. Such claims have not been made in the passage.

Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in promoting healthy growth and development by providing a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters learning and exploration.

Key Points

• Socioeconomic status, genetics and heredity, and nutrition and health are all factors that can influence a child's growth and development.
• For example, children from low-income families may not have access to nutritious food or adequate healthcare, which can negatively impact their growth and development.
• Similarly, genetics and heredity play a role in determining a child's height, weight, and physical characteristics.

Thus, it is concluded that FavoriteTV show is NOT a factor that can affect the growth and development of preschoolers.

Hint

• A child's favorite TV show does not directly affect their physical growth and development. However, excessive screen time can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, which can contribute to weight gain and obesity.

• Erik Erikson has given a theory that personality development had eight stages that were arranged hierarchical and were ordered.

• Erik H. Erikson coined the term identity crisis.
• According to Erikson, the identity crisis is a stage of intensive analysis and exploration of different ways of looking at oneself.

Erikson covered human personality development in a series of eight stages that take place from the time of birth and continue throughout an individual’s complete life.

Hence, from the above-mentioned table, it becomes clear that according to Erikson, role confusion occurs if the Identity is not established.

Gifted children: Any child who is naturally brilliant with a high degree of general mental ability or extraordinary ability in a specific sphere of activity or knowledge. Being gifted is not just a simple trait, rather a combination of interactions between a child and their surroundings.

Important Points

It is important that parents and teachers talk to gifted children about the important difference between a person's performance and their value as a human being. Avoid being overly critical of your child's score on tests and help them realize that everyone makes mistakes, even gifted individuals. Teach your gifted child that he can learn from his peers and try to reduce the gap of emotional distance.

Key Points

Characteristics of gifted children:-

• Rapid learners put thoughts together quickly.
• Highly sensitive
• Enjoys solving problems
• Longer attention span
• Learn all skills quickly
• Excellent memory
• Gifted children need recognition.
• The motives of gifted children should be satisfied.
• A teacher for gifted children must be flexible.

Thus, it can be concluded that Parents and teachers must try to reduce the gap of emotional distance between themselves and gifted children​ are true in the context of gifted children.

IEP stands for Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

Key PointsIn a regular classroom, the teacher teaches a certain content in a standard way to the entire class because she knows that most children are at the same developmental level. Thus, the content of education and teaching style in a regular class are generalized.

• But the above assumption does not hold true for children who have difficulty in learning, due to mental retardation. Their learning abilities and needs are different from non-disabled children of the same age. There are also great variations in ability depending on the severity of retardation, the associated disabilities and their age.
• No two children with mental retardation are alike-they are a heterogenous group. There is a need for an educational and training programme specially designed for each child, based on his individual needs and abilities.
• This education and training plan is called the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). It is also called as Individualized Programme Planning (IPP) or Individualized Training Programme (ITP).
• 'Individualized' means that the education or training programme must be developed to meet the educational and learning needs of a single person rather than a group of persons, using teaching strategies best suited for that person.
• The 'Programme Plan' is a statement of the steps or inputs that will be provided by the trainer (who may be a teacher or parent or community worker) to enhance the abilities of the child to carry out the activities that he is required to in his day-to-day life and to manage and adapt behaviour problems, if any.

Thus, the main purpose of the IEP is to provide appropriate education and training to every child with disability, including those with mental retardation.

A democratic classroom is characterized by a student-centered approach to education, where students are actively involved in decision-making, have a voice in the classroom, and participate in shaping the learning process.

Key Points

• Assertion (A) states that a democratic classroom allows teachers to exert complete control over the learning environment. However, this assertion is false. In a democratic classroom, the power and control are shared between the teacher and the students. The emphasis is on promoting student voice, participation, and engagement in the learning process, rather than solely relying on the authority of the teacher.
• The reason (R) correctly states that teachers, as authority figures in the classroom, need to make decisions and maintain order and discipline. While this is true, a democratic classroom goes beyond traditional top-down control and encourages shared decision-making, collaborative discussions, and the exploration of diverse perspectives. It aims to create an inclusive and participatory learning environment where students actively contribute to shaping the learning process.

Thus, it is concluded that (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Remedial teaching in mathematics refers to the specialized instruction and support provided to students who are struggling with mathematical concepts and skills.

Key Points

• When students are struggling with specific concepts or skills, they often require personalized attention and instruction tailored to their unique learning needs and challenges. By providing individualized instruction, teachers can address the specific areas where students are facing difficulties and customize their teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles and paces.
• Each student may have different strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences, and by tailoring instruction to their individual requirements, teachers can better support their learning and help them overcome their difficulties. Individualized instruction allows teachers to provide targeted interventions, address misconceptions, offer additional practice opportunities, and adapt instructional strategies to optimize students' learning outcomes.

Hence, it is concluded that Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Under the direction of Dr. Jayanthi Narayan, the Functional Assessment Checklist for Programming - FACP-NIMH was created at NIMH under the Department of Special Educational.

• It was created with the intention that it would result in suitable programming. Additionally, it included a built-in facility for periodic evaluation to track progress and make program changes. Additionally, it offers both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the student's development.

Key PointsThere are several tools that help in the assessment of the child. One of them is FACP.

• The Functional Assessment Checklist for Programming (FACP) is an activity-based checklist used for evaluation and program planning for students with Intellectual disabilities.
• The tasks on the checklist are simple to understand, important for everyday functioning, plainly visible, age-appropriate to the greatest extent feasible, and ultimately help people live freely in their communities.
• This is used for children ages 3-18 years.
• Groping of students in FAPC: Grouping is done based on the ability and chronological age into different levels such as Preprimary, Primary-I, Primary-II, Secondary, Prevocational-I, Prevocational-Il, and Care groups.
• Content: Each checklist's content is divided into the fundamental categories of personal, social, academic, occupational, and recreational. Given that children come from diverse cultural and ecological backgrounds, there is room for curriculum components to be added or removed in each subject area based on the specific requirements of a student. The instructor uses this information to create a suitable, tailored curriculum for each kid in her class.
• Writing progress report: Along with the availability of a recording capability for periodically recording assessment and evaluation data, there is also a system for reporting the student's progress. This tool is thorough and simple for teachers to use because it provides a feature for periodic monitoring and a straightforward style for creating quick programs.

Hence, we can conclude that FACP Tool is useful for students with intellectual disabilities.

Additional Information

Checklists have been developed by professionals which can be used to find out the activities and tasks that a child with mental retardation can do and those he cannot.

• The Functional Assessment Checklist for Programming (FACP), the Madras Development Programming System (MDPS), the Behavioral Assessment Scales for Indian Children with Mental Retardation(BASIC- MR), the Portage Basic Training course for Early Stimulation of Preschool Children in India, the Upanayana- a program of developmental training for children with mental retardation - are some of the rating scales and checklists used for functional assessment.

Language is a symbolic, rule-governed system, shared by a group of people to express their thoughts and feelings. In a child, language development takes place through language acquisition and language learning.

Key PointsLet's understand both terms briefly:

• Language acquisition:
  • It refers to the unconscious process of learning a language because of the innate capacity of the human brain.
  • It is a natural process whereby children acquire language by observing and repeating what they hear in their native environment.
  • Language acquisition does not require any formal instruction, children acquire the language without being taught.
  • Language acquisition is a natural process so, one does not forget one's native language.

• Language learning:
  • It refers to the result of deliberate and conscious effort in a formal environment, for a better understanding of foundational skills of language.
  • In language learning, children should move from simple to complex rules to be proficient in all aspects of language skills.
  • It is effectively done by providing comprehensible inputs to make the learners actively involved in real communication.
  • It refers to having a basic knowledge of grammatical rules and their use in communication.

Hence, it could be concluded that statements a and b are true.

The main aim of teaching English/foreign language is to help children to acquire practical commands of English/foreign language. There are several methods of teaching English to students who are learning the language for the first time.

Key Points

Structural Method:

• A structural Method is a language tool that helps the learner to master the structure or pattern of sentences and to learn the language in a meaningful situation.
• It advocates the careful selection and gradation of the structures or patterns of sentences and vocabulary and the principle of selection of structures in a structural approach should be based on the collection, selection, and usefulness.
• It lays emphasis on habit formation through intensive drills, the students cultivate the habit of speaking the English language due to much oral drilling. Whatever is learnt in the class remains stable in the minds of the students.

Hence, it becomes clear that statements 1 and 2 are applicable to Structural Method.

Teaching-learning experiences in EVS are visualized to help the child locate himself/herself in a larger context as part of a community, the country, etc. This organization of learning experience brings in a concept of the mutual dependence of ‘self’ with ‘others’ and the natural environment, providing the child with a holistic perspective of the environment.

Gender refers to the socially constructed differences between men and women. Gender-responsive pedagogy refers to teaching and learning processes that pay attention to the specific learning needs of girls and boys. It refers to the masculine and feminine qualities, behavior, roles, and responsibilities that society upholds. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behavior, activities, and attributes that a given society at a given time and place considers appropriate for men and women, and boys and girls and the relationships between them.​

Important Points

Strategies to Promote Gender Equity:

• Closing the gender gap in education at all levels
• Giving equal opportunity to boys and girls in the classroom
• Teach both genders equally and ensure participation of both gendersAssume that both genders have similar potential for developing physical and motor skills
• Build coalitions to advocate for gender equality in the planning stages
• Motivate each student to take part in roles irrespective of traditional gender roles.
• Encouraging students to participate in all the activities organized by school and society.
• Making a team for group discussion by students to understand their own social roles and responsibilities.
• Conducting role play and invite people like lady engineers or male cooks into the class. ​

Additional Information

• Gender bias is the tendency to prefer one gender over another. It is a form of unconscious bias, or implicit bias, which occurs when one individual unconsciously attributes certain attitudes and stereotypes to another person or group of people.
• Gender constancy refers to the theory that children develop a sense of gender over time and eventually come to understand that their biological sex is fixed and permanent.
• Gender discrimination describes the situation in which people are treated differently simply because they are male or female, rather than on the basis of their individual skills or capabilities.
• A gender role, also known as a sex role, is a social role encompassing a range of behaviors and attitudes that are generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or desirable for a person based on that person's biological or perceived sex.
• Gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender. Gender identity can correlate with a person's assigned sex at birth or can differ from it.
• Gender Stereotyping refers to the relatively fixed and overgeneralized attitudes and behaviors that are considered normal and appropriate for a person in a particular culture based on his or her biological sex.
  • Gender stereotyping can limit the development of the natural talents and abilities of girls and boys, women and men, as well as their educational and professional experiences and life opportunities in general.
  • To eliminate gender stereotyping, there have been conscious efforts to include stories in the curriculum where the father is involved in household works and the mother is doing adventure activities.
  • Stereotypes about women both result from and are the cause of, deeply engrained attitudes, values, norms, and prejudices against women.

Hence, we can conclude that the best answer is option 2 here.

The most appropriate educational aim for having students create polygons with matchsticks is to let students discover the various attributes of polygons.

Key Points

• Hands-on activities like creating polygons with matchsticks allow students to explore and understand mathematical concepts in a tactile and visual way.
• This can help them internalize the attributes of polygons, such as the number of sides, vertices, and angles, and how these change as they manipulate the matchsticks to form different polygons.
• Through such activities, students can make observations, test their hypotheses, and draw conclusions, promoting a deeper understanding of the concepts at hand.
• Breaking the monotony is a positive effect of varied teaching methods, but should not be the primary aim.
• Checking if students copy from others isn't a productive learning goal.
• Learning the names of polygons is important, but the activity can serve to facilitate a much deeper understanding than just terminology.

Hence, we can conclude that 'To let students discover the various attributes of polygons' is the most appropriate aim for doing this activity.
