55 Questions Educational Psychology (Senior Teacher)

Reviewed by: Aspirant Academy Editorial Team

Practice Questions

Q1. A teacher wants to assess a student's ability to solve novel problems by combining past experiences in an original way. In Sternberg's triarchic theory, which type of intelligence is most directly being assessed?

A Componential intelligence
B Experiential intelligence Correct
C Contextual intelligence
D Naturalistic intelligence

Explanation

Sternberg's triarchic theory describes componential, experiential, and contextual intelligence. Experiential intelligence is the creative form: it uses past experiences in an original manner to solve new problems. A classroom task asking learners to reorganise known ideas into a new solution is therefore testing experiential intelligence rather than merely analytical or practical adjustment.

Q2. A school uses one timed verbal intelligence test to label rural first-generation learners as "low ability" and then gives them a reduced curriculum. Which objection best reflects sound understanding of individual differences?

A The objection is invalid because teacher judgment must replace all standardised assessment.
B The objection is invalid because any intelligence test perfectly measures all abilities in all cultural settings.
C The objection is invalid because individual differences are only physical, not psychological.
D The practice risks stigma and underestimation because assessment should use multiple sources and respect context. Correct

Explanation

Individual differences are real, but careless measurement can harm learners. NCERT's treatment of psychological attributes warns that tests may be misused, can stigmatise children, and may underestimate children from disadvantaged backgrounds when the test favours a particular culture or language experience. A defensible school response uses multiple sources, trained interpretation, and support planning rather than a reduced-curriculum label.

Q3. The idea that biological, cognitive and socio-emotional processes are interwoven in a learner's development means that a teacher should

A consider only heredity because environment cannot influence development
B observe the learner as a whole, including health, thinking, emotions and social context Correct
C teach physical growth separately and ignore social adjustment
D assess only marks because cognitive development is independent of emotions

Explanation

A learner is not a set of isolated domains. Physical health, thinking, emotions, peer relations, family and classroom context influence one another, so educational decisions should be based on a holistic view of development.

Q4. In a classroom, a child with high emotional intelligence is most likely to show which behaviour?

A Recognising personal frustration and seeking a constructive way to continue the task Correct
B Blaming peers whenever group work becomes difficult
C Avoiding all interaction so that emotions never appear
D Suppressing every feeling and refusing to discuss conflict

Explanation

Emotional intelligence is reflected in perceiving, understanding and managing emotions in oneself and others. In school life it appears as self-awareness, self-control, empathy, responsible expression and constructive handling of interpersonal difficulty.

Q5. In a constructivist lesson on evaporation, students first predict what will happen to water in different containers, test their predictions, discuss conflicting observations, and then refine their explanation. Which teacher role is most consistent with this design?

A Avoid student discussion because knowledge construction is purely individual and cannot be social.
B Act as a facilitator who elicits prior ideas, creates cognitive conflict, and supports meaning-making. Correct
C Transmit the final definition first and use the activity only to verify it.
D Reward only silent note-copying because visible compliance is the same as conceptual learning.

Explanation

Constructivism treats learners as active makers of meaning, not as empty recipients of ready-made facts. A teacher therefore draws out prior conceptions, designs experiences that challenge weak explanations, and scaffolds discussion toward better concepts. The hard distinction is that facilitation is not laissez-faire: the teacher guides inquiry without reducing the lesson to pre-announced definitions.
