Match List - I with List - II with correct meaning :

List - IList - II
a. Constructivismi. Paradigm for technology based learning
b. Scaffoldingii. Real world is not like studying in school
c. Situated learningiii. That allows the students to grow in independence as a learner
d. Anchored Instructioniv. A view that emphasises the active role of the learner in building understanding and making sense of information
v. Learner learns the cognitive strategies and meta-cognitive skills

Codes : a b c d

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The matching is a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i. Constructivism emphasises the active role of the learner in building understanding. Scaffolding is the support that allows students to grow in independence as learners. Situated learning rests on the fact that the real world is not like studying in school, and anchored instruction is a paradigm for technology based learning. Options (A), (B) and (D) mismatch at least two pairs.

Which of the following won a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work on learning theories ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Ivan Pavlov won the Nobel Prize, in 1904, for physiology and medicine for his work on the digestive glands, and his study of the conditioned reflex from this work became the foundation of the theory of classical conditioning. R.M. Gagne and J.S. Bruner are well known scholars of learning and instruction but did not win the Nobel Prize, and Lev Vygotsky, who died young, did not win it either.

According to Piaget, cognitive development in human beings take place through four important stages. Identify the correct order of these stages.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Piaget's four stages of cognitive development, in order, are the sensori-motor stage, the pre-operational stage, the concrete operational stage and the formal operational stage. The stages follow a fixed sequence in which each depends on the one before: infants first learn through senses and actions, children then use symbols and language, then reason logically about concrete objects, and finally think abstractly. The other options put formal operations or concrete operations before the earlier stages, which is not possible.

Match the List - I with List - II & select the correct answer using the code given below :

List - IList - II
a. Carl Rogeri. Field theory
b. Kurt Levinii. Social learning theory
c. Banduraiii. Self theory
d. Bruneriv. Psychoanalytic theory
v. Cognitive theory

Codes : a b c d

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

Carl Rogers is linked with self theory (iii), Kurt Lewin with field theory (i), Bandura with social learning theory (ii) and Bruner with cognitive theory (v). That gives iii, i, ii, v, option D. Option A pairs Lewin with psychoanalytic theory, which is Freud's, option B gives Rogers the social learning theory, and option C gives Rogers field theory and Bandura psychoanalytic theory, so each has at least one clearly wrong pair.

In Pavlov's experiments on the salivary conditioning of dogs, the CS was

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

In Pavlov's experiments on salivary conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) was the sound of a bell. It was a neutral stimulus until it was paired repeatedly with food, after which it alone produced salivation. The taste of food is the unconditioned stimulus, salivation to the taste of food is the unconditioned response, and salivation to the sound of the bell is the conditioned response, not a stimulus. So the CS is the sound of a bell.

Kohlar developed

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Kohler, the Gestalt psychologist, developed insight theory from his experiments with chimpanzees on the island of Tenerife, in which the animals solved problems such as reaching bananas by suddenly seeing the relations between the objects. S-R bond theory is Thorndike's, field theory is Lewin's, and conditioning theory is Pavlov's or Skinner's. So the answer is insight theory. Kohler's chimpanzee Sultan joined two sticks to reach a banana outside the cage, after a period of apparent confusion followed by a sudden solution. Kohler used this to argue that learning involves perception of the whole situation, not blind trial and error.

Which of the following is an incorrect pair ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The incorrect pair is the multiple theory of intelligence with Guilford. The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner, while Guilford is known for the structure of intellect model. The other pairs are correct: the theory of classical conditioning belongs to Pavlov, the psycho-social theory to Erikson, and the theory of meaningful verbal learning to Ausubel. Guilford's structure of intellect model has 120 abilities, formed from combinations of operations, contents and products. Gardner's multiple intelligences were first published in 1983 with seven kinds of intelligence, and that is the proper pairing, which is why the first pair is wrong.

The learning theories under behaviourist category are based on the belief that

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The behaviourist learning theories are based on the belief that all behaviours can be learnt. Behaviourists treat behaviour as a response shaped by stimuli and reinforcement, so they hold that any behaviour, whether desirable or not, is acquired through learning. The view that the child is a natural learner is that of the humanists or naturalists, and the statements about the environment changing a man and everybody learning everything are weaker or broader claims than the keyed one.

Bruner identified three major stages of cognitive growth. Identify the correct order of the stages.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Bruner described three modes of representation in cognitive growth: the enactive stage, in which knowing is by action, the iconic stage, in which knowing is by images, and the symbolic stage, in which knowing is by language and symbols. They follow in that order. The other options put the symbolic or iconic stage before the enactive stage, which reverses the course of development. Bruner's three modes show that young children learn best by doing, then by images and diagrams, and later by words and symbols. He suggested that a teacher can present a subject in the three forms, in that order, to fit the learner's stage.

Critically judge the following :

Assertion (A) : Adolescence is a period of stress and storm.
Reason (R) : Capacity to acquire and utilise their knowledge reaches it's peak.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. Adolescence is described, as by Stanley Hall, as a period of stress and storm because of the rapid physical, emotional and social changes. It is also true that capacity to acquire and use knowledge reaches a peak around this time. But the peak of capacity is not the cause of the emotional turmoil, so the second statement does not explain the first. That is option B.
