###ANSWERS###
1. Ans. C. Brainstorming is a technique where a group of people meet to generate new ideas and find solutions of problems which are discussed in this process. People are able to think more freely and they suggest as many new ideas as possible.
2. Ans. A.
A all are the characteristics of creative thinking.
Hence option A is correct.
3. Ans. B. From his experiment of classical conditioning, Pavlov proposed five laws related to learning. It includes:
* Law of Causation
* Law of experimental extinction
* Law of Generalization
* Law of selective conditioning
* Law of higher-order conditioning
The law stating that “a conditioned response is established by a series of the contiguous pairing of the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus” is called the law of causation.
4. Ans. B. The conceptual learning is a type of learning which incorporates processes like thinking, reasoning, intelligence etc. In appreciative learning, the ideas and attitude of the learner are appreciated. When the learner uses his/her sense organ along with their brain to learn new things, it is called perceptual learning. The new stimulus is conditioned with the already learned response in the method of learning called associative learning.
5. Ans. C. According to cognitivist such as Piaget and Kohler, their manifestations in learning process include:
* Cognitive development
* Intelligence
* Learning and memory as a function of age
On the other hand According to humanists such as Maslow and Roger, their manifestations in learning include:
* Andragogy
* Self-directed learning
6. Ans. A. Guided reading is an approach that provides many opportunities both to support students language/literacy development sensitively and carefully and to develop greater awareness of the particular forms of expertise that individual students bring to language and literacy experiences.
7. Ans. C. Teachers find it too easy to stick to traditional methods of teaching and refrain from experimentation in the classroom. There is a tendency to use the lecture method of teaching. Need to vary instruction means use of different methods of teaching to maintain interest and participation of students.
8. Ans. B. Since a social science teacher has to deal with various controversial and sensitive issues in the class, the language used must be neutral and sensitive. It should not be insensitive and full of technical words.
9. Ans. C. Placement evaluation is conducted to measure the previous knowledge of the learners. It is also conducted to know whether the learner can acquire the new learning experiences which are related to the previous knowledge.
10. Ans. D. The project method is a practice-oriented method based on the educational philosophy of John Dewey. It follows a school of pragmatism and children are expected to learn by doing and experiencing themselves.
