Topic: Emotions and learning

Q11

Given below are two statements, one marked as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct option.
Assertion (A) : Self-regulation and impulse control should be a vital component of school curriculum.
Reason (R) : Socio-emotional skills help students to regulate their own learning.

  1. (1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).Correct answer
  2. (2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. (3) (A) is true, but (R) false.
  4. (4) Both (A) and (R) are false.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Both true; (R) explains (A).

  1. (A) is true: self-regulation and impulse control are socio-emotional skills that schools should build deliberately.
  2. (R) is true: such skills let students plan, monitor and manage their own learning.
  3. Because these skills support self-regulated learning, they deserve a place in the curriculum, so (R) explains (A).

Trap: (2) misses that (R) gives the reason for including these skills.
