  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25
    According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, at which stage do most children become capable of solving abstract problems in logical fashion?
    Solutions
    In Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the formal operational stage is the final stage of development that typically occurs around 11 years old and continues into adulthood. During this stage, individuals become capable of solving abstract problems in a logical fashion. They can think in abstract and hypothetical terms, engage in deductive reasoning, and use systematic problem-solving strategies. They can mentally manipulate ideas and concepts, think beyond concrete objects and events, and consider multiple perspectives. The development of formal operational thinking allows individuals to engage in scientific reasoning, think about possibilities and hypothetical situations, and reflect on their own thinking (metacognition). However, not all individuals reach this stage, and the development of formal operational thinking can vary among individuals based on factors such as education, culture, and experiences.

    Noori judges other actions based on the argument that ‘we have some duties towards society and we should obey rules for that sake’. As per Lawrence Kohlberg, what stage of moral reasoning is Noori at present?
    Solutions
    Noori's moral reasoning is at the conventional stage according to Lawrence Kohlberg. This stage is characterized by adhering to social norms and rules to maintain social order. Noori believes that individuals have duties towards society and should obey rules for that purpose. Their reasoning is focused on conforming to societal expectations and gaining approval from others rather than on individual interests or abstract ethical principles.
  • Question 3/10

    A teacher gives assignments which requires students to get into discussion with significant others in the family. As per Lev Vygotsky's theory, she believes that ___________ plays a significant role in cognitive development of children.
    Solutions
    The teacher believes that social interactions play a significant role in the cognitive development of children, according to Lev Vygotsky's theory. Vygotsky emphasized that learning and cognitive growth are influenced by interactions with more knowledgeable individuals. The assignments given by the teacher, which involve discussions with family members, aim to provide opportunities for children to engage in social interactions that can enhance their cognitive development. Through these interactions, children can acquire new knowledge, problem-solving skills, and language abilities. Vygotsky referred to this process as the "zone of proximal development," where children's cognitive development is supported through collaboration with others.

    Solutions
    In accordance with Lev Vygotsky's ideas, a teacher should encourage discussions and debates among students. This is because Vygotsky believed that learning is a social process and that students learn best when they engage in collaborative activities with their peers. Through discussions and debates, students can actively participate in constructing knowledge, sharing ideas, and developing higher-order thinking skills. It is important for teachers to create a supportive and interactive classroom environment that fosters these social interactions and promotes the socio-cultural context of learning.

    Solutions
    Lev Vygotsky believed that higher-order mental processes are mediated by psychological tools. According to his sociocultural theory, these tools, which include language, signs, symbols, and cultural artifacts, play a crucial role in shaping and supporting cognitive development. Vygotsky argued that these psychological tools are not just external aids but are internalized by individuals through social interactions. They become part of the individual's cognitive processes, enabling them to think, solve problems, and engage in complex mental activities. Vygotsky's focus on the role of psychological tools highlights the importance of cultural and social influences in shaping cognitive development.
  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25
    A teacher wants to deepen the understanding and memory of knowledge constructed by the students. Which of the following strategy will not be effective for this purpose?
    Solutions
    The strategy that will not be effective for deepening understanding and memory of knowledge constructed by students is mixing irrelevant information with relevant information. This can confuse students and hinder their ability to focus on and retain the important concepts and information. On the other hand, creating metaphors, applying knowledge to new problems, and acting out relations between sub-concepts are effective strategies that help deepen understanding and memory. These strategies promote connections, active application, and multisensory experiences, facilitating better retention of knowledge.
  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25
    Assertion (A): A teacher should encourage students to think about their own thinking processes and ways of learning.

    Reason (R): Metacognition helps in development of higher order cognitive skills.

    Choose the correct option:

    Solutions
    The correct option is:

    A. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

    The assertion (A) states that a teacher should encourage students to think about their own thinking processes and ways of learning. This refers to metacognition, which involves reflecting on and understanding one's own cognitive processes, such as problem-solving strategies, comprehension strategies, and self-regulation of learning. By encouraging metacognition, students become more aware of their thinking and learning, leading to greater self-awareness and control over their learning experiences.

    The reason (R) explains that metacognition helps in the development of higher-order cognitive skills. Higher-order cognitive skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, analysis, and evaluation. Metacognition supports the development of these skills by allowing students to monitor and evaluate their thinking processes, adapt strategies as needed, and make deliberate choices about how to approach learning tasks. Metacognition enhances self-directed learning and facilitates the development of more advanced cognitive abilities.

    Therefore, option A. is the correct answer.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25
    Karan always considers more than one solution to any problem and often comes up with innovative solutions. This exemplifies:
    Solutions
    Karan's behavior of considering multiple solutions and coming up with innovative ideas exemplifies divergent thinking. Divergent thinking involves the ability to generate multiple possibilities and solutions, thinking creatively and outside the box. It is characterized by exploring different perspectives and considering unconventional alternatives. In contrast, convergent thinking focuses on finding a single correct solution. Negative thinking and irrational thinking are not applicable in this context. Therefore, Karan's behavior demonstrates divergent thinking, which promotes creativity and innovative problem-solving.
  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25
    A teacher should promote ________ and __________ among students.
    Solutions
    A teacher should promote an incremental view of ability and mastery-oriented goals among students. This means emphasizing the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and practice and encouraging students to focus on personal growth and understanding rather than external validation or comparison with others. This approach fosters a growth mindset, motivation to learn, and a focus on continuous improvement. On the other hand, promoting an entity view of ability or performance-oriented goals can hinder students' learning and growth. Therefore, the most effective approach is to encourage students to believe in their ability to improve and to focus on mastering the subject matter rather than achieving high grades or outperforming others.
  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25
    Which domain of development discusses aspects related to display of self-control, expression and understanding of feelings?
    Solutions
    The domain of development that discusses aspects related to the display of self-control, expression, and understanding of feelings is the emotional domain. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Emotional. This domain focuses on the child's emotional development, including their ability to recognize and manage their own emotions, understand the emotions of others, and express their feelings appropriately.
