Solve 10 play-based-and-activity-based-learning questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1Assertion: Activity-based learning needs teacher observation. Reason: The activity shows evidence of how the child thinks, talks and applies ideas.

A Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion
B Both are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion
C Assertion is true, reason is false
D Both assertion and reason are false
Explanation

The teacher watches Joseph’s explanation, Asha’s counting and Imran’s story order because these behaviours show current understanding. Without observation, activity becomes busy work.

Q2Which statements are correct about play-based learning? I. It is planned pedagogy. II. It is only free time. III. It can include teacher guidance and observation.

A I only
B II only
C I and III
D I, II and III
Explanation

NCF-FS 2022 places play at the core of pedagogy, not outside pedagogy. Devika’s pattern-clapping game is play, but the teacher can still observe sequence, rhythm and reasoning.

Q3Match the child with the best teacher note: Asha counts objects but reverses numeral; Imran retells in sequence using home words.

A Asha: counting emerging, numeral writing needs practice; Imran: sequence clear, bridge language next
B Asha: failed mathematics; Imran: failed language
C Asha: copy numerals silently; Imran: stop home language
D Asha and Imran: give the same worksheet again
Explanation

Assessment for learning is precise. Asha and Imran both show useful evidence during activity, so the teacher notes the strength and plans the next small step.

Q4Which RBSE syllabus block most directly anchors play-based and activity-based learning for REET Level 1?

A Teaching-learning strategies and methods with NCF 2005, assessment, CCE and RTE 2009
B A separate sports training chapter for primary classes
C A ministry funding scheme for buying toys
D A separate upper-primary psychology chapter
Explanation

Asha counting seeds fits the RBSE teaching-learning methods block because the method, assessment evidence and teacher role are all visible. The topic should not be treated as a sports or toy-purchase chapter.

Q5Which pair correctly links theorist and classroom idea?

A Piaget: begin with abstract symbols before action
B Vygotsky: never allow peer help
C Bruner: use symbols only, not objects or pictures
D Bruner: move from action to image to symbol
Explanation

A REET item may ask theorists through classroom examples. Devika using blocks, then a drawing, then a number sentence fits the action-image-symbol sequence.
