The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is an assessment instrument designed to measure motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior development in babies and young children.

Key Points

• Sits alone (on its own)- 5-9 months
• Crawls -7-11 months
• Pulls to stand- 5-12 months
• Walks alone- 9-17 months
• Walks upstairs with help and support- 12-23 months

The purpose of the still-face paradigm is to study the effects of maternal unresponsiveness on infant behavior and development.

Key Points

• The still-face paradigm is an experimental technique used in developmental psychology to study social interaction and communication between infants and their caregivers.
• It was first developed by Edward Tronick in the 1970s.
• The still-face paradigm involves the caregiver, usually the mother, interacting with the infant in a typical way, and then suddenly becoming still and unresponsive, with a blank expression on her face, for a period of time.
• The infant's reactions to the sudden change in the caregiver's behavior are then observed and recorded.
• Studies using the still-face paradigm have shown that infants as young as six months old are sensitive to maternal unresponsiveness and can experience stress and emotional distress when their caregivers become unresponsive.
• These findings suggest that social interaction and communication with caregivers are essential for healthy infant development.

Thus, it is concluded that Only II statement is true.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's electrical activity and can cause recurrent seizures. Seizures are the hallmark symptom of epilepsy, but not everyone who has a seizure has epilepsy.

Key Points

• Seizures are the primary symptom of epilepsy, and they occur when there is a sudden, abnormal electrical discharge in the brain.
• There are many different types of seizures, and the symptoms vary depending on the part of the brain affected.
• Some seizures may cause only mild symptoms, such as brief lapses in attention or slight muscle twitches, while others may be more severe, causing loss of consciousness, convulsions, or even life-threatening complications.
• Treatment for epilepsy typically involves medications that help to control seizures.
• The choice of medication depends on several factors, including the type of seizure, the person's age, and any other medical conditions they may have.
• In some cases, surgery may be an option, especially when seizures are localized to one part of the brain.
• Other treatments, such as dietary changes or devices that stimulate the vagus nerve, may also be used in some cases.

Hence, it can be concluded that both of the statements are correct.

Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behavior, or skills due to our experience. Learners build knowledge as they explore the world around them and make connections between new ideas and prior understanding.

Important Points

Characteristics of learning:

• Learning is governed by external stimuli. Stimulus is any object or event that is responsible for a change in behavior. For example, if there is cold outside then our response will be to get warm by putting on a jacket.
• Learning is a process that leads to change in behavior.
• Learning is closely linked to culture and society which is called socio-cultural context. Learning activities in this context can be cooperative, collaborative, planned, or unplanned.

Hence, 'learning can't happen until it is assessed by marks', is an incorrect statement because learning is a change in behavior also which can not be assessed by marks.

Ankita, a Hindi teacher, never answers directly a question raised by a student in the class. Instead, she gives other students time to think of the answer, discuss in group, etc. before leading them to the correct answer. She is following the progressive approach to teaching.

In a progressive approach, the teacher can have interact with the students to find out the answer to the questions which she asked. While discussing, students get an idea about the answer.

The behaviourist approach is based on the behaviour of the students only. There is no chance for cognitive thinking processes.

The traditional approach is the method of asking a question directly to the student and the student should respond to it. There are no discussions at all and no other communication between teacher and student.

A timeline allows events to be arranged in chronological order and makes it easier to visualize the sequence of events over some time. This helps provide context and a flow when teaching ancient history.

Key Points

For the other options, a timeline may be used, but may not be the best-suited option compared to other tools:

• To explain the achievements of a ruler: A summary or list of key achievements categorized thematically would communicate the achievements better.
• To compare two dynasties: A comparative table listing key parameters and achievements side-by-side would allow easier comparison.
• To give a summary of a dynasty: A summary paragraph capturing key details about the dynasty would be more impactful. Timelines may miss providing an overview perspective.

Hence, we can conclude that the timeline is best suited for teaching ancient history.

Psychologist Albert Bandura is the researcher most often associated with learning through observation. He and others have demonstrated that we are naturally inclined to engage in observational learning. Important Points Assertion(A): The teacher and their students visit a zoological park and students can learn about animals more effectively by directly seeing them.

• Observational learning describes the process of learning by watching others, retaining the information, and then later replicating the behaviors that were observed. There are a number of learning theories, such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning, that emphasize how direct experience, reinforcement, or punishment can lead to learning. However, a great deal of learning happens indirectly

Reason(R): Children can learn more effectively by observational and direct interactional-based learning.

• Studies suggest that imitation with social understanding tends to begin around 2 years old, but will vary depending on the specific child. In the past, research has claimed that newborns are capable of imitation, but this likely isn't true, as newborns often react to stimuli in a way that may seem like imitation, but isn't.
• Observational learning has the potential to teach and reinforce or decrease certain behaviors based on a variety of factors. Particularly prevalent in childhood, observational learning can be a key part of how we learn new skills and learn to avoid consequences.

Hence, we can conclude that (A) and (R) both are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

For a teacher in a primary school for teaching including preparation, 45 working hours per week have been prescribed in the RTE Act, 2009.

Key Points In an academic year, as per the RTE Act, 2009, the number of

• Working days for primary school is 200 days
• Instruction hours is 800 hours

The teaching hours for a teacher per RTE Act, 2009 for primary school is 45 hours per week

The 45-hours includes planning, preparation, TLM preparation, following and transacting the planned regular time table, and assessment of children

• The RTE Act directs that teachers are not assigned with non-academic work except during certain conditions like election duties, taking the census, as well as assistance during disaster management.
• The RTE Act also prohibits teachers from taking private tuitions
• Along with the mere physical presence of a teacher, it is the amount and quality of effort that a teacher puts in the stipulated time makes the difference in the learning process.

Therefore, according to the RTE Act, a teacher will spend a minimum of 45 hours in teaching including preparation hours in a week.

Information and communications technology (ICT) is an extensional term for information technology (IT) that stresses the role of unified communications. ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audiovisual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system.

• ICT is an umbrella term that includes any communication device, encompassing radio, television, cell phones, computer and network hardware, satellite systems, and so on, as well as the various services and appliances with them such as video conferencing and distance learning.

Key Points

• ICT can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate students. The term ‘assessment’ in education means the procedure that is used to collect information about the knowledge, attitude, and skills of a learner. There are various ways to carry out assessment: oral, aural, written, and performance-based.
• Online assessment is an ICT-enable evaluation method. Online assessment is the process of conducting a test online to gauge the participants’ learning and mastery over a particular subject.
• An online assessment may be administered with a specific intent, such as ascertaining a candidate’s skills, knowledge, or learning abilities.
• In simple terms, an online assessment is a structured, meticulous evaluation of an individual’s skills, characteristics, knowledge, or expertise. The test is hosted online via modern web-based technologies.
• Online assessments comprise a series of questions that assess multiple aspects of a test-taker and are created based on the job role, level, and competency requirements.

Hence, it could be concluded that Online assessment is an ICT-enable evaluation method.

Additional Information

• Personal interviews: Personal interview is basically a meeting organized by a recruiter in which he evaluates a potential employee for prospective employment. However, this meeting should be considered as a two-way process between the candidate and the interviewer. So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method, rather, it is a meeting to check one's capability.
• Pen and paper tests: It is a written exam (with a pen & paper), as opposed to an exam taken electronically (via computer). So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method.
• A student portfolio is a compilation of academic work and other forms of educational evidence assembled for the purpose of (1) evaluating coursework quality, learning progress, and academic achievement; (2) determining whether students have met learning standards or other academic requirements for courses, grade-level promotion, and graduation; (3) helping students reflect on their academic goals and progress as learners; and (4) creating a lasting archive of academic work products, accomplishments, and other documentation. So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method.
