Question 1

Psychology · 1 marks

Read the following statements and choose the correct option : Assertion (A) : To facilitate critical thinking among learners, teachers should expose them to diverse situations and differing perspectives. Reason (R) : Students learn and enrich their abilities to think critically and creatively as they engage in conversations across differences.

  1. A.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. C.Both (A) and (R) are false.
  4. D.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Correct answer: D

Explanation: Exposure to diverse situations and differing perspectives is exactly what drives critical thinking, and the reason given (conversations across differences enrich critical and creative thinking) explains the assertion. Both are true and R explains A.

Question 2

Psychology · 1 marks

The primary goal of learning should be :

  1. A.development of critical thinking.
  2. B.competing with peers.
  3. C.memorization of facts.
  4. D.becoming excellent at rote rehearsal.

Correct answer: A

Question 3

Psychology · 1 marks

Variability in learning styles of students :

  1. A.should be seen as a barrier and hindrance to teaching-learning process.
  2. B.should not be taken into consideration during teaching-learning process.
  3. C.should be valued and seen as a reflection of human diversity.
  4. D.should be ignored and attempts should be made to bring uniformity in learning styles.

Correct answer: C

Explanation: Inclusive pedagogy treats variation in learning styles as a resource reflecting human diversity, not a defect to be removed.

Question 4

Psychology · 1 marks

Children learn more effectively if a concept proceeds from :

  1. A.Rational to Empirical.
  2. B.Complex to Simple.
  3. C.Generic to Specific.
  4. D.Abstract to Concrete.

Correct answer: C

Explanation: Of the four pairs offered, only 'Generic to Specific' is a recognised teaching maxim in the direction given; the others are stated in reverse of the accepted maxims (concrete→abstract, simple→complex, empirical→rational). The official key marks option 3.

Question 5

Psychology · 1 marks

Which of the following process does not contribute to the course of learning ?

  1. A.Decontextualization
  2. B.Conceptualization
  3. C.Organization
  4. D.Categorization

Question 6

Psychology · 1 marks

Which of the following is an effective method to enhance problem-solving skills in children ?

  1. A.Giving them opportunities to brainstorm and make intuitive guesses
  2. B.Providing them with ready-made solutions to problems
  3. C.Discouraging independent thinking and focusing on declarative knowledge
  4. D.Encouraging them to avoid difficult problems

Correct answer: A

Explanation: Problem-solving ability grows when learners generate and test their own ideas; ready-made solutions and avoidance remove the very practice that builds the skill.

Question 7

Psychology · 1 marks

Experiential learning stresses on :

  1. A.learning as a product rather than a process.
  2. B.importance of critical reflection.
  3. C.control of teacher on the learning of children.
  4. D.the role of reinforcement in learning.

Correct answer: B

Explanation: In Kolb's experiential learning cycle, reflective observation on concrete experience is central; learning is a process, not a product.

Question 8

Psychology · 1 marks

Read the following statements and choose the correct option : Assertion (A) : Teachers should create a meaningful environment which seeks active participation and engagement of all children. Reason (R) : All children are intrinsically motivated to learn and are capable of learning.

  1. A.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. C.Both (A) and (R) are false.
  4. D.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Correct answer: D

Explanation: Both statements are accepted in NCF-style constructivist pedagogy, and the belief that every child is intrinsically motivated and capable is precisely why the teacher must build a participative environment for all.

Question 9

Psychology · 1 marks

As per Lev Vygotsky, _______ plays a significant role in the development of conceptual abilities among children.

  1. A.Standardized curriculum
  2. B.Social isolation
  3. C.Tangible rewards
  4. D.Peer collaboration

Correct answer: D

Question 10

Psychology · 1 marks

According to Lev Vygotsky's theory, inner speech :

  1. A.is a way for children to regulate their own thinking.
  2. B.is a sign of developmental delay.
  3. C.is a way for children to communicate with an imaginary friend.
  4. D.is a sign of cognitive immaturity.

Correct answer: A

Explanation: For Vygotsky, private speech becomes internalised as inner speech and serves self-regulation of thought — the opposite of Piaget's view of it as egocentric immaturity.

Question 11

Psychology · 1 marks

Four-year-old Aparna says that a button is alive because it helps tie her shirt together. According to Jean Piaget, her thinking is characterized by :

  1. A.Hypothetical-deductive thinking
  2. B.Centration
  3. C.Transductive reasoning
  4. D.Animistic thinking

Correct answer: D

Explanation: Attributing life to an inanimate object (a button) is animism, a hallmark of Piaget's pre-operational stage.

Question 12

Psychology · 1 marks

  1. A.secondary; tertiary
  2. B.secondary; primary
  3. C.tertiary; secondary
  4. D.primary; secondary

Correct answer: D

Explanation: The family is the primary agency dominant in infancy; school, peer group and media are secondary agencies that gain importance in early childhood.

Question 13

Psychology · 1 marks

According to Lev Vygotsky :

  1. A.Language development facilitates cognitive development.
  2. B.Language development and cognitive development advance independent from each other.
  3. C.Social factors influence language development, but not cognitive development.
  4. D.Cognitive development facilitates language development.

Correct answer: A

Explanation: Vygotsky reversed Piaget's order: language, acquired socially, becomes the tool that drives and shapes cognitive development.

Question 14

Psychology · 1 marks

At which level of Lawrence Kohlberg's moral reasoning, do children typically believe that people should live up to the expectations of the society and behave in "good" ways ?

  1. A.Pre-operational level
  2. B.Conventional level
  3. C.Post-operational level
  4. D.Pre-conventional level

Correct answer: B

Question 15

Psychology · 1 marks

Read the following statements and choose the correct option : Assertion (A) : Interaction with more knowledgeable others, such as teachers and peers, can provide the necessary support and guidance to help learners develop their understanding and skills. Reason (R) : Social interaction is a key component of learning and development.

  1. A.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  2. B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. C.Both (A) and (R) are false.
  4. D.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Correct answer: D

Explanation: Both statements are true and the general principle in (R) — that social interaction is central to learning — is exactly why interaction with more knowledgeable others helps, so (R) explains (A).

Question 16
