UGC NET Paper1 Previous Year Solved Papers - 6th December 2019 Morning Shift
- Option : B
- Explanation : Teaching at memory level is considered to be the lowest level of teaching, covering only the knowledge-based objectives of Bloom's Taxonomy, that is to impart knowledge and information to the learner. Knowledge or information gained by the learner is factual in nature. It is acquired through memorization or rote learning. At this level, thinking ability does not play any role. Students only identify and cram the facts, information, objects, events, ideas, formulas and laws that are taught to them; and remember/ retain them in memory to recall when needed. Therefore, only the following of the given statements are emphasised in memory level teaching: Organisation of thoughts and ideas Systematic presentations to enable quick reproduction Mastery of concept /sequencing of facts Seeing relationships between facts, critical thinking and segregating one feature from another require thinking skills.
17. Classroom communication is A. Like a computer- program B. Dictatorial C. Purposeful D. Pragmatic
- Option : D
- Explanation : Classroom communication is thoughtful and pragmatic. It is neither rigid like a computer program nor dictatorial where learners have no freedom. Ideal class communication is rather flexible and democratic. The teacher thinks and plans the communication taking all relevant factors into consideration, and carries it out sensibly and realistically on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
- Option : A
- Explanation : Direct learning implies gaining knowledge straight from the source, without any mediation or intervention from the teacher or any other person. This is possible through the practical approaches that provide hands-on experience or learning by doing. Simulation and role playing, Participation in workshop and assignments, MOOCs ( Massive Open Online Courses) and heuristics (self-discovery) all provide practical, hands-on direct learning without teacher intervention.
- Option : C
- Explanation : Non-parametric chi-square test will be the most appropriate in this case. There are two types of statistical inference methods: parametric and nonparametric. In Parametric method one defines the probability distribution of probability variables and makes inferences about the parameters of the distribution. In cases in which the probability distribution cannot be defined, nonparametric methods are employed. Nonparametric tests are less powerful than parametric tests, so we don't use them when parametric tests are appropriate. But if the assumptions of parametric tests are violated, we use nonparametric tests. Nonparametric tests are classified according to the variables' level of measurement and the sample size. The chi-square test is used mainly when dealing with a nominal/categorical variable. The levels of the variable are discrete, mutually exclusive categories, and the data consist of frequencies or counts for each category. T tests are a type of parametric method; they are used to compare the means of two groups when the samples satisfy the conditions of normality, equal variance, and independence. T tests can be of two types: (i) The independent t-test, which is used when the two groups under comparison are independent of each other; and (ii) the paired/correlated t-test, which is used when the two groups under comparison are dependent on each other. Mann Whitney U test is a popular nonparametric test to compare outcomes between two independent. It is used to test whether two samples are likely to derive from the same population (i.e., that the two populations have the same shape).
- Option : B
- Explanation : Hero worshipping is a very prominent characteristic of an adolescent learner. They emulate in every way the role model they choose to look up to; for, everything about the hero appeals to them. As they emulate their role model's social behavior, actions and preferences, their own social and moral understanding undergoes change, accordingly. Adolescent learner's characteristics of tendency to be away from parents, mixing up with peers in the neighborhood or identity crisis are less significant contributors to social moral development.
