Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → B, A, C, E, D
Planning, in the PASS model of Das and Naglieri, lets us think of the possible courses of action, implement them to reach a target, and evaluate their effectiveness; if a plan does not work, it is modified. For a test set by the teacher, the steps run in this order.
(B) Set goals — first. To take the test, the student would have to set goals.
(A) Plan a time table/schedule of study — second. Then the student plans a time schedule of study to reach those goals.
(C) Get clarification in case of problem — third. While studying, the student gets clarifications when problems arise.
(E) If he/she is not able to tackle the chapters assigned for test, he/she may think of other ways — fourth. If the plan does not work, it is modified: more study time, studying with a friend and so on.
(D) Evaluate the result — fifth. Finally the student evaluates the effectiveness of the course of action through the result.
NCERT (2025-26): “Planning, Attention-arousal, and Simultaneous-successive (PASS) Model of Intelligence … Planning : This is an essential feature of intelligence. After the information is attended to and processed, planning is activated. It allows us to think of the possible courses of action, implement them to reach a target, and evaluate their effectiveness. If a plan does not work, it is modified to suit the requirements of the task or situation. For example, to take the test scheduled by your teacher, you would have to set goals, plan a time schedule of study, get clarifications in case of problems and if you are not able to tackle the chapters assigned for the test, you may have to think of other ways (e.g., give more time, study with a friend, etc.) to meet your goals.…” “…Das and Naglieri have also developed a battery of tests, known as the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS).…” |
