Ans: B- Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, the relationship

between humanity and the cosmos, health and longevity, and wu
wei (action through inaction), which is thought to produce
harmony with the Universe.
190. “Moral example has a greater effect on pupils’ discipline than
laws and codes of punishment” is an advice of teachers from_______.

a. Confucius
b. Mohammed
c. Lao Tzu
d. Mencius

Ans: A- A hallmark of Confucius' thought is his emphasis on moral

education and study. Study, for Confucius, meant finding a good teacher
and imitating his words and deeds. A good teacher was someone older
who was familiar with the ways of the past and the practices of the
ancients. While he sometimes warned against excessive reflection and
meditation, Confucius' position appears to be a middle course between
studying and reflecting on what one has learned. He who learns but
does not think is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great
danger.
191. The values education program teaches faith, hope and love and
values which are believed to be permanent values whether they are
valued by people or not. Upon what Philosophy is this anchored?

a. Realism
b. Existentialism
c. Idealism
d. Pragmatism

Ans: C- Idealism is the philosophical theory which maintains that

experience is ultimately based on mental activity. In the philosophy of
perception, idealism is contrasted with realism, in which the external
world is said to have an apparent absolute existence. Epistemological
idealists (such as Kant) claim that the only things which can be directly
known for certain are just ideas (abstraction). In literature, idealism
means the thoughts or the ideas of the writer. In the philosophy of mind,
idealism is the opposite of materialism, in which the ultimate nature of
reality is based on physical substances.
192. This is the defining feature of essentialism.
a. Existence precedes essence
b. Essence precedes existence
c. Essence is non-existence
d. Existence is non-essence
Ans: B- Essence precedes existence is the defining feature of
essentialism.

b. Teacher Arlene and April are contrary to each other.
c. Teacher Arlene and April are contradictory to each other
d. Teacher Arlene and April are relative to each other
Ans: C- Teacher Arlene and April are contradictory to each other,
Rationalism and Empiricism have extreme positions as far as the
source of knowledge is concern. The former claims that the only
source of knowledge is reason, independent of the senses while
the latter states that the only source of the knowledge is the
sense based on experience.

perfection but I long for it”, then the student can be regarded as:

a. Empiricist
b. Idealist
c. Naturalist
d. Humanist

Ans: B- Idealist believes that idea are the only reality. It doesn’t
matter whether there is a representation of these ideas in reality.
What exists in the mind is only the truth.
197. A school principal emphasizes the importance of
Humanities in the curriculum. To which educational philosophy
does he adhere?

a. Existentialism
b. Essentialism
c. Perennialism
d. Positivism

Ans: C- Perennialism is the philosophy that states that truth is

universal. To learn more is to understand the great work of arts
and civilization, and to appreciate aesthetics. In humanities, we
learn nothing only but the best works of arts and civilization.
198. Which of the following describes what progressivism is?
a. Education-learning takes place only when the students are
inside the classroom
b. Education-learning takes only for a period of time and it
ends when a student earns a degree.
c. Education-learning tkes place according to the desire of the
student.
d. Education-learning takes place continuously and contributes
to the develpoment of students.
Ans: D- Education-learning takes place continuously and
contributes to the develpoment of students. Hence, education-
learning realized only if there is growth and development. These
growth and development are the indications of the philosophy of
progressivism.
199. Philippines’ Elementary Curriculum emphasizes on the
development of skills in writing, counting and reading. This
manifests greatest consideration to this philosophy.

a. Idealism
b. Naturalism
c. Progressivism
d. Essentialism

Ans: D- Essentialism emphasizes on the basics of education-

reading, writing and arithmetic.
200. A student who performs on behavior as a result of the
reinforcement provided to that particular behavior is a
manifestation of this philosophy.

a. Naturalism
b. Rationalism
c. Behaviorism
d. Constructivism

Ans: C- Behaviorism asserts that human beings are shaped entirely

by its environment.
201. Who represents the idealistic wing of confucianism that
describes human nature as neither good nor bad?

a. Buddha
b. Mencius
c. Hzun Tzu
d. Lao Tzu

Ans: B- While Confucius himself did not explicitly focus on the

subject of human nature, Mencius asserted the innate goodness of
the individual, believing that it was society's influence – its lack of a
positive cultivating influence – that caused bad moral character.
"He who exerts his mind to the utmost knows his nature" and
"the way of learning is none other than finding the lost mind".
202. He views life as full of pain and misery. He believes there is
a cause and a cessation for every suffering.

a. Siddharta Gautama
b. Jesus Christ
c. Kung Fu Tsu
d. Mencius
Ans: A- Buddhism is a religion and philosophy encompassing a
variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on
teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as
the Buddha (Pāli/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). The Buddha lived
and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some times
between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by
Buddhists as an awakened or enlightened teacher who shared his
insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve
nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth.
203. Who among the following developed the Social Learning Theory?

a. Bandura
b. Kohlberg
c. Bruner
d. Skinner
Ans: A- Albert Bandura (born December 4, 1925, in Mundare, Alberta,
Canada) is a psychologist and the David Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus
of Social Science in Psychology at Stanford University. Over a career
spanning almost six decades, Bandura has been responsible for
groundbreaking contributions to many fields of psychology, including
social cognitive theory, therapy and personality psychology, and was also
influential in the transition between behaviorism and cognitive
psychology. He is known as the originator of social learning theory and
the theory of self-efficacy, and is also responsible for the influential 1961
Bobo Doll experiment.
204. In the learning experiences it refers to the relevance of the
stated learning experience to the stated goals of the curriculum.

a. Quality
b. Validity
c. Variety
d. Suitability

Ans: B- Validity refers to the relevance of the stated learning

experience to the stated goals of the curriculum.
205. It is the advance arrangement of learning opportunities for
a particular population of learners.

a. Curriculum development
b. Curriculum plan
c. Pilot testing
d. Selection

Ans: B- Curriculum plan advance arrangement of learning

opportunities for a particular population of learners. Curriculum
planning is the process whereby the arrangement of curriculum
plans or learning opportunities are created.
206. It is a curriculum approach known to be the “means-end
approach”. Curricula developed through this approach become
actual blueprints which prescribe the roles of key figures in the
educative process.

a. System-managerial approach
b. Behavioral-rational approach
c. Technical-scientific approach
d. Intellectual-academic approach
Ans: B- Behavioral-rational approach is a curriculum approach
known to be the
“means-end approach”. Curricula developed through this
approach become actual
blueprints which prescribe the roles of key figures in the educative
process.Viewing
the curriculm as the means and instruction as the end is a
behavioral orientation.
207. This refers to the combination of several approaches, rather
than commit on one particular approach only.

a. Reconceptualism approach
b. Eclectic approach
c. Reconstructionism
d. System-managerial approach

Ans: B- Eclectic approach refers to the combination of several

approaches, rather than commit on one paricular approach only. It
is also called as “halo-halo”.
208. It focuses on learning activities that is centered around the
interests and needs of the child, designed to motivate the interest
of the child in the learning process.

a. Subject-centered design
b. Core curriculum design
c. Integrated design
d. Child-centered design

Ans: D- Child-centerd design focuses more on he child’s interest.

209. It focuses on the common body of curriculum content and
learning experience that should be encountered by all students.

a. Subject-centered design
b. Core curriculum design
c. Integrated design
d. Child-centerd design
Ans: B- Core curriculum design concentrates more on the core or
body of the curriculum content.
210. A type of curriculum which lessons are learned through
searching the internet for information or through using e-learning
or e-form of communication.

a. Internal curriculum
b. Electronic curriculum
c. Societal curriculum
d. Received curriculum

Ans: B- E-stands for electronic. E-curriculum uses the internet

access to communicate.
211. The tendency to imitate elders is very strong in the early
childhood stage. Teachers should therefore be very good
_______________.

a. counselors
b. facilitators of learning
c. role models
d. disciplinarians

Ans: C Teachers as good role models play various roles. They

provide guidance, direction, and instruction. They are experienced
and educated. They make a positive difference in the lives of their
students by opening them up to more possibilities, broadening
their horizons, etc. A teacher has to be consistent with her words
and actions. “Practice what you preach” and “walk your talk” are
some of the expressions used for the teacher’s effectiveness as a
good role model.
212. Social adjustment means the ability to behave in accordance with
________________.

a. stereotyped behavior
b. social expectations
c. social unrest
d. universal norms

Ans: B We live within a structure of social expectations, of belief,

awareness, and apprehension of how others will react to our behavior,
respond to our acts, play their roles in this human theater. As we behave
toward others, we not only perceive them as distances vis a vis
ourselves but we also apprehend how our behavior will affect them and
what we can expect in return. These expectations clearly modify our
dispositions, but how this relation manifests itself, how it finally issues in
social behavior requires a more detailed analysis of social behavior.
Stereotyping means the behavior of one is carried out by another. Social
unrest means chaos in the society. Universal norms mean norms that
are usually followed by everyone.
213. Which of the following is usually considered the most important
factor in a child’s observable classroom behavior?

a. cultural background
b. self-concept
c. intelligence
d. heredity

Ans: C Intelligence is a term describing a property of the mind including

related abilities, such as the capacities for abstract thought,
understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, learning from past
experiences, planning, and problem solving. A popular theory of
intelligence is based on psychometric testing, i.e. intelligence quotient
(IQ) tests; however, some researchers' dissatisfaction with traditional IQ
tests prompted their developing alternative theories of intelligence
suggesting that intelligence results from independent capabilities that
uniquely contribute to human intellectual performance. Intelligence is
also basically the one checked in a classroom.
214. Which of the following will trigger additional development if a child is
exposed to more challenges and stimuli in his surroundings?

a. emotional development
b. potentials
c. intelligence
d. interest

Ans: A Emotional development should be started at an early age as soon as

children start kindergarten and preschool so that their interaction with others
will help develop them in both social and intellectual ways. Emotional
development and intellectual development normally go hand in hand to help
the child develop socially because it is the interaction amongst both children
and adults that creates a health emotional state. Some children respond very
well to a multitude of different social situations and interaction which would
suggest they have a strong emotional development while still many children
today have quirks and ticks from emotional problems or trauma which causes
them to have difficulty interacting in social scenes and find daily routine difficult
to deal with. Some people lacking in emotional development are the complete
contrast and suffer when their routine is interrupted. This is typically seen in
children with autism who cope better when regular routine is kept.
215. Researches established that complete coordination of motor
activities is attained at ____________.

a. adolescence stage
b. infancy
c. pre-natal stage
d. childhood stage

Ans: D Early childhood is a key period for promoting physical activity.

During these years, fundamental motor skills, basic movement patterns
that all children tend to develop (e.g., walking, running, galloping,
jumping, hopping, skipping, throwing, catching, striking, kicking, balancing),
begin to develop. If children are encouraged to be physically active,
these skills can develop into advanced patterns of motor coordination
that can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, many children barely acquire
fundamental motor skills and some will not develop advanced patterns
of motor coordination because they are not encouraged to participate
in physical activities that provide opportunities to practice these skills.
216. This is the stage when the learner becomes confused and starts
to experience identity crisis. Which of these stages is it?

a. late childhood
b. adolescent
c. early childhood
d. early adulthood

Ans: B "Identity crisis is the failure to achieve ego identity during

adolescence". The term was coined by the psychologist Erik Erikson.
According to Erikson, an identity crisis is a time of intensive analysis and
exploration of different ways of looking at oneself. The stage in which
identity crisis may occur is called the Identity Cohesion versus Role
Confusion stage. During this stage of adolescence, we are faced with
physical growth, sexual maturation, and integrating our ideas of
ourselves and about how other people think of us. We form our self-
image and endure the task of resolving the crisis of our basic ego
identity. Successful resolution of the crisis depends on one’s progress
through previous developmental stages, centering on issues such as
trust, autonomy, and initiative.
217. Which of these theories holds that human activity is based on
the interaction of stimuli and responses?

a. cognitive-field
b. social learning
c. connectionism
d. vector

Ans: C The learning theory of Thorndike represents the original S-R

framework of behavioral psychology: Learning is the result of
associations forming between stimuli and responses. Such associations
or "habits" become strengthened or weakened by the nature and
frequency of the S-R pairings. The paradigm for S-R theory was trial and
error learning in which certain responses come to dominate others due
to rewards. The hallmark of connectionism (like all behavioral theory)
was that learning could be adequately explained without referring to any
unobservable internal states.
218. Psychologically, there is unity in all learning; however, there are distinct types
of learning that are recognized. One is affective learning that involves
_____________.

a. acquisition of attitudes, ideals, judgments, and values

b. formation of concepts and ideas
c. understanding of the external world through the use of the senses
d. acquisition of facts and information

Ans: A Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and
their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target
the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings. There are five levels in the
affective domain moving through the lowest order processes to the highest: Receiving
(the lowest level; the student passively pays attention. Without this level no learning
can occur), Responding (the student actively participates in the learning process, not
only attends to a stimulus; the student also reacts in some way),Valuing (the student
attaches a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information), Organizing (the
student can put together different values, information, and ideas and accommodate
them within his/her own schema; comparing, relating and elaborating on what has been
learned) and Characterizing (the student holds a particular value or belief that now
exerts influence on his/her behavior so that it becomes a characteristic).
219. Parents and teachers are considered as authorities and models
by children at the early childhood stage. What does statement imply?
a. Parents should enforce strict discipline at home and teachers in
school.
b. Teachers should demand complete obedience from the learners
in school.
c. Teachers and parents should serve as role models at all times.
d. Parent-teacher conference should always be an activity in school.
Ans: C Children see their parents as authority figures. From a child's
perspective, parents are like God. They are omnipotent and omniscient.
They care for us, feed and clothe us. They protect us from harm. As an
extension of this, children need teachers, principals and other authority
figures to provide order and security in their world. So many children
feel insecure going to school today. Bullies and weapon-toting kids seem
to fear no one. Lack of respect for authority permeates many schools
and makes them dangerous and fearsome places. Because of these
reasons, teachers and parents should serve as role models, who are
deserving of emulation, at all times.
220. Identical twins are more alike than fraternal twins. Which of
the following statements/principles is supported by this?
a. Intelligence is determined partly by prenatal nutrition.
b. Heredity has a part in determining physical appearance.
c. Environment affects both fraternal and identical twins.
d. Intelligence hinges in physical structure.
Ans: B Identical or monozygotic twins occur when a single egg is
fertilized to form one zygote which then divides into two separate
embryos. There are an estimated 10 million identical twins and
triplets in the world today. Identical twins are almost always the
same sex and their traits and physical appearances are very similar
but not exactly the same. Identical twins look alike, although they
do not have the same fingerprints (which are environmental as
well as genetic). As they mature, identical twins often become less
alike because of lifestyle choices or external influences. The
children of identical twins would test genetically as half-siblings
rather than first cousins.
221. During the pre-operational stage, language skills emerge and
the child uses words to represent ideas. This theory is attributed
to _______________.

a. Kohlberg
b. Dewey
c. Wallace
d. Piaget

Ans: D Jean Piaget was a Swiss developmental psychologist known

for his epistemological studies with children. His theory of
cognitive development and epistemological view are together
called "genetic epistemology
222. It is the process by which an organism inherits the
characteristic traits of the parents.

a. heredity
b. maturation
c. fertilization
d. development

Ans: A Heredity is the passing of traits to offspring (from its parent

or ancestors). This is the process by which an offspring cell or
organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics
of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations
exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause a species to
evolve. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which
includes the field of epigenetics.
223. Basic education includes secondary education. Which of the
following contributed to the establishment of secondary schools?

a. Rationalism
b. Humanistic Education
c. Reformation
d. Realistic

Ans: D The secondary education mission statement was: "to determine a

complete, adequate and integrated system of education, both formal and
nonformal; to supervise and regulate appropriately all educational
institutions; and to develop and promote culture and sports in order to
prepare the present and the next generation for life." Briefly stated, it is
four specific goals covering the areas of broad general education, training
in middle level skills, developing for improving the quality of human life,
and responding to the changing needs and conditions of the nation. The
manual lists the functions of secondary education in three major aspects
which are: formulation of policies, plans, and projects; the supervision of
all public and private institutions; and the maintenance of a complete,
adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the goals of
national development.
224. What was the philosophy of education in the Philippines
before the establishment of the public school system?

a. Humanism
b. Realism
c. Idealism
d. Pragmatism

Ans: D Pragmatism is a philosophical movement that includes

those who claim that an ideology or proposition is true if it works
satisfactorily, that the meaning of a proposition is to be found in
the practical consequences of accepting it, and that impractical
ideas are to be rejected. It is the doctrine that claims that the
meaning of a proposition or idea lies in its practical consequences.
The pragmatists claim that society cannot fulfill the educational
task without an institution designed for this purpose.
225. The present military training in our school curriculum is an influence
of _______________.

a. Athens
b. Sparta
c. Rome
d. Greece

Ans: B When male Spartans began military training at age seven, they would
enter the Agoge system. Special punishments were imposed if boys failed to
answer questions sufficiently 'laconically' (i.e. briefly and wittily). At the age of
twelve, the Agoge obliged Spartan boys to take an older male mentor, usually
an unmarried young man. The older man was expected to function as a kind of
substitute father and role model to his junior partner; however, it is also
reasonably certain that they had sexual relations (the exact nature of Spartan
pederasty is not entirely clear). At the age of eighteen, Spartan boys became
reserve members of the Spartan army. On leaving the Agoge they would be
sorted into groups, whereupon some were sent into the countryside with only
a knife and forced to survive on their skills and cunning. This was called the
Krypteia, and the immediate object of it was to seek out and kill any helots
(slaves) as part of the larger program of terrorising and intimidating the helot
population.
226. Which of the following abilities is stressed by humanistic
education?
a. Learn the different philosophies of education.
b. Develop man into thinking individual.
c. Enjoy the great works of man such as the classics.
d. Make man distinctly civilized, educated and refined.
Ans: D Humanistic education is an alternative approach to education
based on the work of humanistic psychologists, most notably Abraham
Maslow, who developed a famous hierarchy of needs. In humanistic
education, the whole person, not just the intellect, is engaged in the
growth and development that are the signs of real learning. The
emotions, the social being, the mind, and the skills needed for a career
direction are all focuses of humanistic education. "Much of a humanist
teacher's effort would be put into developing a child's self-esteem. It
would be important for children to feel good about themselves (high
self-esteem), and to feel that they can set and achieve appropriate goals
(high self-efficacy)."
227. Which of the following was the fundamental reason why John
Dewey proposed a transformation of the public school system?
a. He recognized that the intellectual motivation of the students
was declining.
b. He recognized that industrialism was destroying the home, shop,
neighborhood and church.
c. He recognized that a traditional academic education did not
serve the ideals of a democratic society.
d. He recognized that change and innovation were essential
ingredients of the progressive movement.
Ans: C John Dewey (October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) was an American
philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have
been influential in education and social reform. Throughout these
writings, several recurrent themes ring true; Dewey continually argues
that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus
the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can
and should take place. In addition, he believed that students thrive in an
environment where they are allowed to experience and interact with
the curriculum, and all students should have the opportunity to take
part in their own learning.
228. His philosophy advocated a classical type of liberal
education or the study of the humanities.

a. John Dewey
b. Aristotle
c. Irving Babbit
d. Jean Jacques Rousseau

Ans: D Rousseau’s philosophy of education is not concerned with

particular techniques of imparting information and concepts, but
rather with developing the pupil’s character and moral sense, so
that he may learn to practice self-mastery and remain virtuous
even in the unnatural and imperfect society in which he will have
to live. Rousseau felt that children learn right and wrong through
experiencing the consequences of their acts rather than through
physical punishment.
229. Which of these options was not recommended by EDCOM?
a. institutionalization of pre-school education
b. strengthening of values education
c. provisions for special education
d. increasing the number of state colleges and universities
Ans: D The Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) report
of 1991 recommended the division of DECS into three parts. On 18
May 1994, Congress passed Republic Act 7722, the Higher Education Act
of 1994, creating the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), which
assumed the functions of the Bureau of Higher Education, and
supervises tertiary degree programs. On 25 August 1994, Congress
passed Republic Act 7796, the Technical Education and Skills
Development Act of 1994, creating the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA), which absorbed the Bureau of
Technical-Vocational Education plus the National Manpower and Youth
Council, and supervises non-degree technical-vocational programs.
DECS retained responsibility for all elementary and secondary
education. This threefold division became known as the trifocal system
of education in the Philippines. EDCOM also recommended the
institutionalization of pre-school, provisions for special education and
strengthening of values education.
230. The Athenian ideal of education is to form a cultural soul in
a graceful and symmetrical body. How can this be achieved?
a. by improving emphasis on physical education
b. by adapting the philosophy “know thyself”
c. by giving more focus on health education
d. by a well-balanced development of mind, body and soul
Ans: D Athenian education was devoted to the three basic
categories of literacy, music, and physical education in hopes of
creating intelligent, well-rounded citizens who could responsibly
participate in the Assembly.
231. Which of these philosophies is reflective of that of Dewey’s which
stresses the development of an individual capable of reflective thinking specially
that of being able to solve the problem he faces individually or collectively?

a. rationalism
b. disciplinism
c. developmentalism
d. experimentation

Ans: C Dewey honored the importance of children's activity in the curriculum

but also focused on the necessary relationship between the school and social
progress. He felt that we needed to make each one of our schools an
embryonic community life, active with types of occupations that reflect the life
of the larger society and permeated with the spirit of art, history and science.
When the school introduces and trains each child into membership within
such a little community, saturating him with the spirit of service, and providing
him with the instruments of effective self-direction, we shall have the deepest
and best guaranty of a larger society which is worthy, lovely and harmonious.
From Dewey we learn to cultivate the relationship between personal
fulfillment and social responsibility in children and teachers.
232. The government prescribes a higher percentage on the
administration of educational institutions to Filipino citizens in
order to ______________.

a. protect the rights of the citizens

b. produce globally competitive graduates
c. ensure the teaching of Filipino
d. minimize the unemployment problem

Ans: A Article XIV, Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution mentions

that the State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to
quality educations at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to
make such education accessible to all.
233. The female gonads which are responsible for the
production of egg cells are also known as ______________.

a. fallopian tube
b. cervix
c. ovary
d. uterus

Ans: C Ovaries in vertebrates are the organs that produce the egg
cells and secrete estrogen and progesterone.
234. Denzel’s mother noticed that her son always wants to get her
attention and is jealous of his father. Denzel then can be classified under what
psychoanalytic stage of development?

a. phallic
b. oral
c. latency
d. genital

Ans: A Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who founded the

psychoanalytic school of psychiatry. The Phallic stage, in Sigmund Freud's
theory of psychosexual development, is the third stage of child development,
occurring between the ages of 3 and 6. The source of pleasure at this stage is
the genitals. This is also the stage in which boys find themselves being sexually
attracted to their mother. The term "Oedipus complex" derives from the
Greek legend of Oedipus. The Oedipus complex stands for the idea that a son
becomes jealous and afraid of his father. He may take on the father's traits, and
strive to be like him in order to receive the mother's attention. The equivalent
in girls, called the Electra complex, was termed subsequently, not by Freud
himself who disagreed with the theory that girls went through the same
process. Here girls are thought to be in competition with their mother for
their father's attention.
235. Classical conditioning theory is always attributed to him for
his experiment involving the dog’s salivation as a reaction to the
sound of the buzzer.

a. Pavlov
b. Skinner
c. Bandura
d. Lewin

Ans: A Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist,

psychologist, and physician. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for research pertaining to the
digestive system. Pavlov is widely known for first describing the
phenomenon of classical conditioning.
236. As provided for in the Education Act of 1982, how are the
institutions of learning encouraged to set higher standards of
quality over and above the minimum required for state
recognition?

a. Formal Education
b. Voluntary Accreditation
c. Academic Freedom
d. Continuing Professional Education

Ans: B Sec. 29 of the Education Act of 1982 talks about voluntary

accreditation: The Ministry shall encourage programs of voluntary
accreditation for institution which desire to meet standards of
quality over and above minimum required for State recognition.
237. Children’s interests are generally largely dependent on their
experiences. Which of the following is an implication of this
statement?
a. A large part of the subject matter has to be easy if they are
to be interesting and within the learner’s experience.
b. The school should not develop interest outside the
experience of the child.
c. The curriculum should provide vital experiences if the
school must use its opportunities to develop interest.
d. The experience of the child reduces the area in which the
school may choose to develop interests.
Ans: C A student’s interest is an excitement of feeling, whether
pleasant or painful, accompanying special attention to some object.
It can also mean concern over something. The school as a social
institution should provide various experiences to develop and
nurture students, interest.
238. Section 5, Article XIV, of the constitution states that
academic freedom shall be enjoyed in:

a. state colleges and universities

b. public assemblies
c. all institutions of higher learning
d. all levels of learning

academic freedom shall be enjoyed in all institutions of higher
learning.
239. The child’s concept of right and wrong is based on external
criteria laid down by adults during the stage of pre-conventional
morality. This is based on the ideas of _____________.

a. Kohlberg
b. Piaget
c. Freud
d. Erickson

Ans: A Kohlberg's stages of moral development constitute an adaptation

of a psychological theory originally conceived of by the Swiss
psychologist Jean Piaget. Kohlberg relied for his studies on stories such
as the Heinz dilemma, and was interested in how individuals would
justify their actions if placed in similar moral dilemmas. He then analyzed
the form of moral reasoning displayed, rather than its conclusion, and
classified it as belonging to one of six distinct stages. Kohlberg's six
stages can be more generally grouped into three levels of two stages
each: pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional.
