3. Two identical beakers A and B are presented to the child. Teacher Sonny pours the liquid from B to C which is taller and thinner than A and B but has equal capacity with B. The teacher asks if the beakers A and C have the same amount of liquid. The child says “NO” and points to C as the beaker that has more liquid. In which cognitive developmental stage is the child?
A. Sensorimotor stage
B. Concrete operational stage
C. Pre-operational stage
D. Formal Operational stage
VIEW ANSWER
Option C
ExplanationThe child's response reflects a typical understanding within the pre-operational stage of cognitive development. In this stage (option C), children between the ages of 2 to 7 tend to focus on perceptual aspects, like the height of the liquid in the containers, rather than understanding conservation, which involves comprehending that quantities remain the same despite changes in appearance.
The child's judgment that the taller and thinner container (C) holds more liquid despite being poured from an identical container (B) indicates a lack of conservation understanding, characteristic of the pre-operational stage.
4. To determine her students’ level of moral development, Teacher Evangeline presents to her class a morally ambiguous situation and asks them what they would do in such a situation. On whose theory is Teacher Evangeline’s technique based?
A. Bruner
B. Kohlberg
C. Freud
D. Piaget
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
ExplanationTeacher Evangeline's technique aligns with the moral development theory proposed by Lawrence Kohlberg (option B). Kohlberg's theory suggests that individuals progress through stages of moral reasoning, and their responses to moral dilemmas can help identify their level of moral development. He proposed three levels of moral development, each containing two stages, emphasizing how individuals reason about moral issues as they mature. Evangeline's approach of presenting morally ambiguous situations to assess her students' responses reflects Kohlberg's framework for understanding moral reasoning.

6. You arrange the rows of blocks in such a way that a row of 5 blocks is longer than a row of 7 blocks. If you ask which row has more, Grade 1 pupils will say that it is the row that makes the longer line. Based on Piaget’s cognitive development theory, what problem is illustrated?
A. Assimilation problem
B. Accommodation problem
C. Conservation problem
D. Egocentrism problem
VIEW ANSWER
Option C
ExplanationThe problem illustrated here aligns with Piaget's concept of the conservation problem, which is depicted in option C. In Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children in the pre-operational stage (typically around the ages of 2 to 7) tend to focus on perceptual aspects, like length or height, rather than understanding conservation. Conservation involves the understanding that quantities remain the same despite changes in appearance, such as when rows of blocks are arranged differently. The response of the Grade 1 pupils, focusing on the length of the lines rather than the actual quantity of blocks, demonstrates a lack of conservation understanding.
