Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)

Sol. Teaching techniques/methods are based on classical theory of human organisation whereas teaching strategies are based on modern theory of human organisation.

S2. Ans.(d)

Sol. Present examination system suffers from a number of imperfections. If focuses only on cognitive learning outcomes and completely ignores the non-cognitive aspect. Hence, we can say that exciting examination system provides opportunities for cognitive learning.

S3. Ans.(a)

Sol. Existing pattern of examination mainly measures the objective of cognitive aspect in which evaluation of a child is done only in one area i.e. academics.

S4. Ans.(d)

Sol. The most important characteristics of objective type test are its reliability, discrimination power and objectivity.

S5. Ans.(b)

Sol. Homework is given to students primarily to inculcate the habit of self study and to practice the lesson taught in school.

S6. Ans.(c)

Sol. The error is committed as Arjun is not clear about the concept of addition of integers.

S7. Ans.(a)

Sol. Pankaj has the misconception that he lacks in analytical ability.
Analytical skill is the ability to visualize, articulate, conceptualise or solve both complex and uncomplicated problems by making decisions that are sensible given the available information.

S8. Ans.(b)

Sol. Determining content is one of the following functions which is not the remedial function of Mathematics teaching.

S9. Ans.(c)

Sol. The evaluative work of Mathematics teaching variable is construction of criterion test and evaluation of behavioural change.

S10. Ans.(b)

Sol. In analytic method, we proceed from unknown to known. This method includes breaking up the unknown problem into simpler parts which can be recombined to find solutions.
