Child Development and Pedagogy
CCE Three Domains: CPA — CCE assesses three domains: Cognitive, Psychomotor, Affective. Remember as "Child Plays Actively" for continuous comprehensive evaluation framework.
Formative vs Summative: FOR vs OF — Assessment FOR learning = Formative (during teaching, feedback-oriented); Assessment OF learning = Summative (final judgment). FOR helps improve, OF judges achievement.
Piaget's Stages: Some Pre-Owned Cars — Sensorimotor (0-2y), Pre-operational (2-7y), Operational/Concrete (7-11y), Cognitive/Formal (11+y). Age boundaries help identify development stage in case studies.
Heredity vs Environment: HEN — Heredity gives potential (height, intelligence range), Environment determines realization, Nature-Nurture work together. Neither alone explains child development fully.
Bloom's Taxonomy: Remember King Philip — Remember, Know/Understand, Philippe = Apply, Analyze, Synthesize, Evaluate (or RUKASA-E). Levels progress from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills.
Language I — Kannada
Alankara Types: ASU — Three main types: Anupras (ವರ್ಣಾನುಪ್ರಾಸ - letter repetition), Shabdalankara (ಶಬ್ದಾಲಂಕಾರ - word beauty), Upama (ಉಪಮಾ - comparison). Remember as "ASU kelasa" (that work).
Three Lingas: PSN — Kannada has Pullinga (masculine), Streelinga (feminine), Napumsakalinga (neuter). Many nouns change suffix based on linga (ಅವನು/ಅವಳು/ಅದು).
Three Kalas: BVB — Bhuta (past - ಇದ್ದ), Vartamana (present - ಇರುವ), Bhavishya (future - ಇರುವ). Verb endings change: ದ್ದ/ತ್ತ/ವ pattern for identification.
Vachana Principles: SSS — Vachanas emphasize Sharana (devotee equality), Samajika sudhari (social reform), Sarala bhasha (simple language). Basavanna's movement rejected caste hierarchy through Kannada prose.
Language II — English
Article Rule: A-E-I-O-U — Use "an" before vowel sounds (an apple, an hour), "a" before consonant sounds (a university uses 'yu' sound). Sound matters, not spelling.
Modals Certainty Scale: MSWC — ust (100% certain), hould/Ought (75%), ill/Would (50%), an/Could/May/Might (25%). Helps choose correct modal for probability questions.
