Formative vs Summative: DURING vs DONE — Formative happens during learning (ongoing feedback); Summative happens when learning is done (final exams, term-end).
Piaget's Stages: Some Children Play Freely — Sensorimotor (0-2y), Concrete-operational (7-11y), Pre-operational (2-7y), Formal-operational (11+y). Remember age order separately.
Dimensions of Development: PSESM — Physical, Social, Emotional, Spiritual, Mental—five key dimensions every child develops through.
Heredity vs Environment: NATURE vs NURTURE — Heredity = nature (genes, inborn); Environment = nurture (family, school, culture). Both interact continuously.
Language I (Telugu / Urdu / Hindi / Tamil / Kannada / Odia)
LSRW Skills Order — Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing—natural sequence of language acquisition; teach in this order for best results.
Language Acquisition vs Learning — Acquisition = natural, subconscious (child learns mother tongue); Learning = conscious, formal (classroom grammar study). Acquisition comes first.
Remedial Teaching 3Rs: Recognize-Review-Reinforce — First recognize learner's error pattern, review basics missed, then reinforce through repeated practice with simpler tasks.
Language II — English
Parts of Speech: NAPPVAIC — Noun, Adjective, Pronoun, Preposition, Verb, Adverb, Interjection, Conjunction—eight parts every sentence contains.
Tense Time Markers — Past: yesterday, ago, last; Present: now, today, always; Future: tomorrow, will, next. Match marker words to identify tense instantly.
Active to Passive Formula — Subject becomes "by" agent; object becomes subject; verb adds "be" + past participle. "Ram ate apples" → "Apples were eaten by Ram."
Reported Speech: TPAP Rule — Change Tense (one step back), Pronouns (perspective shift), Adverbs of time/place, Pointing words (this→that, here→there).
