Tips to cover Child Development and Pedagogy for TET

-
                  The syllabus for CDP  is vast and hence one must know what theories will be asked in exam. Most of the theories are covered during the course of the teacher training but what students mostly forget is that they are going to be asked objective type questions in the exam and the linkage of the theory in real life and with other pedagogy subjects.
 The important theories that I have read for test are

  • Piaget's theory of cognitive development
  • Kohlberg's theory of moral development
  • Vygotsky's theory of socio-cultural development
  • Freud's theory of psycho sexual development
  • Chomsky's theory of linguistic development
  • Stephen Krashen's theory of second language acquisition
  • Pavlov's theory of classical conditioning
  • Skinner's theory of operant conditioning
  • Thorndike's theory of connectionism
  • Insight learning theory
  • Maslow's theory of a hierarchy of needs
  • Bandura's theory of social learning
  • Bruner's theory of cognitive development
  • Gardener's theory of multiple intelligence
  • Erikson's theory of psychosocial development
  • Sternberg's triarchic theory
  • Spearman's two-factor theory
  • Thorndike's multifactor theory
  • Thurston's theory of primary mental abilities
  • Guildford's structure of intellect theory
  • Binet's benefactor theory
  • Clark Hull's drive reduction theory
  • Carl Rogers theory of personality 
  • Urie Bronfenbrenner ecological systems theory
  • Kurt Lewin's field theory
Main points to keep in mind while preparing theories

  1. Who gave the theory ? In which year?
  2. Main focus of the theory
  3. Experiment conducted in theory
  4. Name of animal or special equipment used in theory
  5. Stages of theory
  6. Other names of theory
  7. To which category the theory belong like behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, learning, intelligence, etc.
  8. Age groups given in theory
  9. Special terminology given in theory like Schema, stimuli, conditioning etc.
  10. Educational Implications
  11. Opposition to theory

What else to prepare other than theories in CDP ?


  • RTE 2009
  • SSA
  • NCF 2005
  • Learning disabilities
  • Types of reading
  • Blooms taxonomy of educational objectives
  • Objectives & principles of Assessment
  • Assessment for learning
  • Assessment of learning
  •  Assessment as learning
  • Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation
  • IQ - formula and who gave it
  • Motivation
  • Attitude
  • Self - esteem
  • Self efficacy
  • Inclusive Education
  • Gender bias and its eradication

                 The topics mentioned covers about 90% of the syllabus and help you to score 26-28/30 marks in CDP. These will also help in covering the pedagogy part asked in mathematics, science and SST and languages.
The topics mentioned will not only help in clearing CTET's or state TET's but also in other exams like DSSSB, NVS, PRT, TGT, PGT etc.
The most important tip to cover CDP is to have a conceptual knowledge and practice of previous year questions.
Hope I provided the necessary information.
Thank You !

In our day to day conversatio n we often comment that a particular individual is intelligent or he/she is not intelligent at all. All we do are our mere observations of the performance or the behavi our of the individual. Intelligence in psychology is general mental ability involved in calculating, reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies,learning quickly, storing and retrieving information, using language fluently, classifying, generalizing and adjusting to new situations.  Take a quiz to know more about it https://forms.gle/HdQ8WA1x32E9bfco9 Notes on Intelligence (PDF) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XN14H9qCgmduaAAs39Vwa46gfNTP4ZJj/view?usp=sharing Also read: http://blogstoreadfromshichan.blogspot.com/2020/05/what-is-growth-and-development.html

What is Axiom, Conjecture and Theorem?

-

Doing mathematics without understanding the basic concept is quite boring. Here are the three most important terms that form the basis of mathematics. What are Axioms? An axiom or postulate is a statement that is taken to be true to serve as a base or starting point for further reasoning and argument. An axiom is a fact and these do not need proofs. Why do we need an Axiom?   It severs as basis for ‘formal system’. A framework to prove or drive further theorems.   Most importantly, to enable ourselves to do maths. E.g.   In Euclidean geometry, following are the axioms.   Given two distinct points, there is exactly one line that contains them. All right angles are equal to each other. Etc. What is Conjecture? A conjecture is a conclusion or proposition that is suspected to be true based on the observations but no proof or disproof has yet been found.      It is more like a hypothesis.     Conjecture is based on inductive reas...
