Dear Readers,

Science is an important subject in CTET & Other TET Exams. In any of teaching exam, CTET Science Pedagogy carries weightage of 12-13 % of questions with focused practice good marks can be fetched from this section. These questions are very important in achieving your success in CTET and Other TET Exams..

Q1. The teacher motivates the student to perform successful experiments a student has collected data on the width of tree trunks and average precipitation rates for different locations. The student wants to show the relationship between these two variables. What type of graph should the student use?

•   A multi-line graph with the width measurements on the x-axis and precipitation rates on the y-axis.
•  A scatter plot with the width measurements on the y-axis and precipitation rates on the x-axis.
•  A bar graph with the width measurements on the y-axis and precipitation rates on the x-axis.
•  A pie chart with the width of tree shown as a percentage at different precipitation rates.    

Solution

A pie chart with the width of tree shown as a percentage at different precipitation rates.    
                

Q2. In case the student encounters an error the teacher encourages him to deal with it. A student is measuring morning and afternoon temperatures for a school project using a thermal infrared gun instrument. The instrument is calibrated incorrectly and produces a cold bias of 7/10 of a de gree in all the temperature measurements. How should the student deal with this error?

•   The student should recalibrate the instrument and redo the project.
•  Since it is not a major error, the student can ignore it.
•  This is a systematic error and the student should take it into consideration when analyzing the results by increasing the temperatures 7/10 of a degree.
•  This is a random error so the student should only mention it as a potential problem in interpreting the results.

Solution
This is a systematic error and the student should take it into consideration when analyzing the results by increasing the temperatures 7/10 of a degree.

Q3. The constructionist approach of teaching science is true of

•  learners actively construct their own knowledge by connecting new ideas to existing ideas on the basis of experience
•  teachers first construct their own knowledge followed by the construction of learners knowledge
•  both learners and teachers are actively and passively involved in the process.
