Q1In Kohlberg's theory of moral development, how many stages are there in total, and how are they distributed across levels?

A Three stages, one each in pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional morality
B Six stages, two each within the pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional levels
C Eight stages, each framed as a psychosocial conflict across the life span
D Four stages, moving from sensorimotor conduct to formal moral reasoning
Explanation

Kohlberg proposed three levels of moral development: pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional. Each level has two stages, making six stages in all; the eight-conflict format belongs to Erikson, and the four-stage sequence belongs to Piaget.

Q2Which option gives the correct chronological order of Erikson's psychosocial conflicts from early childhood through adolescence?

A Industry versus inferiority, initiative versus guilt, autonomy versus shame and doubt, identity versus role confusion
B Initiative versus guilt, autonomy versus shame and doubt, identity versus role confusion, industry versus inferiority
C Autonomy versus shame and doubt, initiative versus guilt, industry versus inferiority, identity versus role confusion
D Identity versus role confusion, industry versus inferiority, autonomy versus shame and doubt, initiative versus guilt
Explanation

In Erikson's psychosocial theory, the post-infancy sequence is autonomy versus shame and doubt, initiative versus guilt, industry versus inferiority, and then identity versus role confusion. Putting identity before industry or initiative before autonomy breaks the developmental order.

Q3Match the theorist or pair with the associated contribution. 1. Gardner, 2. Guilford, 3. Binet and Simon, 4. Spearman. a. Structure of Intellect, b. first practical intelligence test, c. multiple intelligences, d. g and s factors.

A 1-a, 2-c, 3-d, 4-b
B 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d
C 1-d, 2-b, 3-a, 4-c
D 1-b, 2-d, 3-c, 4-a
Explanation

Gardner's theory is multiple intelligences, while Guilford's Structure of Intellect classifies intelligence by operations, contents, and products. Binet and Simon developed the first practical intelligence test, and Spearman's two-factor theory uses g and s factors.

Q4Which of the following is an incorrect pairing about assessment concepts?

A Reliability - consistency of measurement across repeated use
B Validity - degree to which a test measures what it intends to measure
C Formative assessment - terminal judgement of achievement at the end of instruction
D Criterion-referenced test - comparison with a fixed standard or objective
Explanation

Formative assessment is ongoing and used to improve learning during instruction, whereas summative assessment judges achievement at the end. Reliability refers to consistency, validity to intended measurement, and criterion-referenced testing compares performance with a fixed standard rather than with peers.

Q5A learner has a mental age of 12 years and a chronological age of 10 years. Using the ratio IQ formula, what is the learner's IQ?

A 83
B 100
C 120
D 130
Explanation

The ratio IQ formula is mental age divided by chronological age, multiplied by 100. With mental age 12 and chronological age 10, the calculation is 12/10 x 100 = 120; the Binet-Simon test is historically the first practical intelligence test, but the numerical item depends on the ratio formula.

6Consider the following statements about general principles of development: 1. Development is generally sequential. 2. Cephalocaudal development proceeds from head to foot. 3. Proximodistal development proceeds from the centre of the body toward the periphery. 4. Development is determined by heredity alone. How many statements are correct?

AOne
BTwo
CFour
DThree

7Consider the two statements about assessment. Statement I: Formative assessment is ongoing during instruction and is used to improve learning. Statement II: A criterion-referenced test compares a learner mainly with peers in the same group. Which option is correct?

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
BStatement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
CStatement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct.
DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

8Which statement correctly distinguishes Spearman's two-factor theory from Thurstone's Primary Mental Abilities theory?

ASpearman proposed a general factor common to all mental tasks and task-specific factors, whereas Thurstone proposed several relatively independent primary abilities.
BSpearman denied any common factor in intelligence, whereas Thurstone treated intelligence as only one general ability.
CSpearman listed seven Primary Mental Abilities, whereas Thurstone divided intelligence into operations, contents, and products.
DSpearman and Thurstone both accepted the same single-factor explanation of intelligence.

9Which sequence correctly matches Piaget's cognitive-development stages with their hallmark achievements?

ASensorimotor: object permanence; preoperational: egocentrism and animism; concrete operational: conservation and reversibility; formal operational: abstract and hypothetico-deductive reasoning
BSensorimotor: conservation; preoperational: object permanence; concrete operational: abstract reasoning; formal operational: egocentrism
CSensorimotor: egocentrism; preoperational: conservation; concrete operational: object permanence; formal operational: animism
DSensorimotor: reversibility; preoperational: hypothetico-deductive reasoning; concrete operational: animism; formal operational: object permanence

10Which set contains only Erikson's psychosocial conflicts, without importing stages from cognitive or moral development theories?

AObject permanence, conservation, abstract reasoning and reversibility
BPunishment-obedience, self-interest, law-and-order and universal ethical principles
CTrust versus mistrust, autonomy versus shame and doubt, industry versus inferiority, identity versus role confusion
DSensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational
