Practice Questions

Q1. A child says all triangles must have equal sides. After sorting several different triangles, he revises this idea. Which classroom cue is shown?

A Practice strengthened only by praise
B Imitation of a demonstrated behaviour
C Sudden whole-pattern insight without revision
D Active construction of understanding after comparison Correct

Explanation

D is correct because the child compares examples and revises an earlier idea, which is a Piaget-related active construction cue. A is reinforcement, B is Bandura's modelling cue, and C ignores the idea revision.

Q2. Which statement should be rejected while matching classroom situations with learning theories?

A The learner's action in the situation is important
B Observing a model can indicate Bandura
C An organised whole can indicate Gestalt
D Every practice-based situation means punishment Correct

Explanation

D is correct because it is the statement to reject: practice and reinforcement can be supportive, not punishment. A, B and C are valid matching ideas from the classroom cue approach.

Q3. A teacher wants learners to keep using a correct method for identifying soil samples. After each correct identification, she gives immediate specific feedback and asks them to practise again. Which learning-theory cue is strongest?

A Behaviourist reinforcement through feedback and practice Correct
B Bandura's modelling through observation
C Gestalt insight through a whole pattern
D Piaget's active construction after revising an idea

Explanation

A is correct because immediate feedback after a desired response and repeated practice are behaviourist reinforcement cues. B would need observation of a model, C would need sudden whole-pattern understanding, and D would need the learner to revise an idea after evidence.

Q4. A child sees cards labelled gram panchayat, block and district as unrelated. The teacher arranges them as one structure, and the child understands the administrative pattern. Which cue is closest?

A Record the error and give feedback only after the unit test
B Gestalt understanding of an organised whole Correct
C Check notebook presentation before checking reasoning
D Active revision after testing natural evidence

Explanation

Option B is correct because it directly addresses the need in the question: Gestalt understanding of an organised whole. The other options rely on incomplete evidence, delayed support, narrow participation, labels, copying, or unsupported assumptions rather than diagnosing and supporting learning.

Q5. A learner counts unit squares separately but suddenly understands area when the teacher arranges them into rows and columns as one rectangle. Which cue is closest?

A Use marks or speed as the main sign of progress
B Observation of a social model
C Gestalt insight by seeing the organised whole Correct
D Check notebook presentation before checking reasoning

Explanation

Option C is correct because it directly addresses the need in the question: Gestalt insight by seeing the organised whole. The other options rely on incomplete evidence, delayed support, narrow participation, labels, copying, or unsupported assumptions rather than diagnosing and supporting learning.
