Recently as per the Regulation 2014 of NCTE, The West Bengal Government has proposed a two year uniform curriculum for B.Ed. Course in West Bengal under the supervision of WBUTTPA.The questions-answers are based on very short, short and essay type. Hopefully, this question answer 3rd semester BEd Suggestion help a lot to the students for their examination.Hopefully, this Life Science Suggestion and Answer of 3rd semester help a lot to the students for their examination.

Pedagogy of Science: Life Science
Course-1.3.7B
Question Paper 2023
GROUP-A
1. Mention any two means of professional growth of a Life Science school teacher.
Namely Pre-service NCTE organizes teacher training at national level in two ways, and In-service Training. Science teacher's own professional development as follows can do-
- Science teacher has to participate in all seminars, workshops, conferences organized for science teachers from time to time.
- Science teacher must possess appropriate degree.
2. Write two significance of pedagogical analysis.
- Pedagogy i.e. the science of teaching is a master plan that includes a details of what is to be done by a teacher, the instructional strategies, instructional equipments and the cardinal objective of instruction.
- Effective teaching through pedagogical analysis displays skills at creating curricula designed to build on students' present knowledge and understanding and move them to more sophisticated and in- depth abilities, knowledge, concepts and performances.
- Pedagogical analysis leads to realisation of specific goals, facilitated by a detailed planning result in effective teaching.
3. Mention any two difficulties in administration of Achievement test in Life Science at the Higher Secondary Level.
- This test cannot measure the actual knowledge of the learners.
- This test only aims at the betterment of the teaching-learning process.
- The test does not really assess affective domain of the learners.
4. Give examples of two test items from Life Science curriculum at the Secondary Level- one is application-based and another is Understanding-based.
Here are two examples of test items from the Life Science curriculum at the secondary level:
(i) Application-Based Test Item
Question: A farmer observes that the yield of his crops has decreased significantly despite regular watering and sunlight. After testing the soil, it is found to be deficient in nitrogen. Suggest a method the farmer can use to improve the soil's nitrogen content. Explain how this method works.
(ii) Understanding-Based Test Item
Question: Explain why mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell.”
5. Write two importances of using Teaching Aid in classroom teaching.
Importance of Using Teaching Aids in Classroom Teaching:
(i) Enhances Understanding and Retention: Teaching aids make abstract concepts tangible and easier to understand by providing visual, auditory, or kinesthetic support. For instance, models, diagrams, or videos help students grasp complex topics and retain information longer.
(ii) Promotes Engagement and Motivation: Teaching aids capture students’ attention and stimulate their interest. Interactive tools like experiments or multimedia presentations encourage active participation, making learning more enjoyable and meaningful.
GROUP-B
1. Briefly discuss different steps of construction of Achievement Test.
Planning or Construction of Achievement Tests There are several steps involved in the construction of Achievement Tests. We will now discuss these in detail one by one.
Educational Objectives: The first and the most important step in planning a test is to identify the educational objects. Each subject has a different set of educational objects. In the subjects of Science, Social Sciences, and Mathematics the major objectives are categorised as knowledge, understanding, application and skill, while in languages the major objectives are categorized as knowledge, comprehension and expression. Knowledge objective is considered to be the lowest level of learning whereas understanding, application of knowledge in sciences or behavioural sciences are considered higher levels of learning.
Design: The second step in planning a test is to make the "Design". The Design specifies weightages to different-
(i) Instructional objectives,
(ii) Types (or forms) of questions,
(iii) Units and sub-units of the course content,
(iv) Levels of difficulty.
It also indicates as to whether there are any options in the question paper, and if so, what their nature is.
The design, in fact, is termed as an instrument which reflects major policy decisions of the examining agency, whether it is a Board or an individual. A sample format for presenting design of a test is given.
Blueprint: The third step is to prepare the "Blueprint". The policy decisions, as reflected in the design of the question paper, are translated into action through the Blueprint. It is at this stage that the paper setter decides as to how many questions are to be set for different objectives. Further he/she decides under which unit/topic a particular question is to be set. Further more, he/she picks up various forms of questions. Thereafter, the paper setter decides how all the questions are to be distributed over different objectives and content areas so as to obtain the weightages decided in the Design. The three confines of the design correspond of content areas in vertical rows and objects and forms of questions in perpendicular columns. Once the design is set, the paper setter can write/ elect the particulars and prepare the question paper.
2. Discuss the significance of continuous and comprehensive evaluation plan in Life Science at Secondary Level.
- To help develop cognitive, psychomotor and affective chops.
- To use evaluation for enhancement of scholars achievement and tutoring- literacy strategies on the base of regular opinion followed by remedial instructions.
- To use evaluation as a quality control device to maintain asked standard of performance.
- To determine social mileage, advisability or effectiveness of a programme and take applicable opinions about the learner, the process of literacy and the literacy terrain.
- To make the process of tutoring and learning a learner- centered exertion.
- To lay emphasis on study process andde-emphasise memorization. To make evaluation an integral part of tutoring- literacy process.
3. Mention the advantages and disadvantages of Simulated Teaching in Life Science.
Advantages of Simulated Teaching:
- It bridges the gap between theory and practice.
- It helps to modify the behaviour of would be teachers.
- Discussion provides immediate feedback.
- By using it an analysis can be made of some serious teaching problems.
- It builds self-confidence among would be teachers.
- It provides the opportunities to the pupil teachers to play various roles.
- Pupil teachers can practice teaching.
Disadvantages of Simulated Teaching:
- It is an artificial situation and far away from the reality.
- It is more like a game or play. Actual classroom situation cannot be created.
- It makes person more conscious about his role so often it seems like acting.
- Pupil teachers are quite mature, so it is wrong to suppose that they will play the role of children of a particular class.
- Pupil teachers do not take much interest in such type of activity. 6. Student teachers cannot understand the nature of the actual prob- lems of real classroom teaching.
- Questioning skills are not developed properly.
