UGC NET 2019 Home Science Question Paper (04-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Believing what is true

The question asks about identifying a non-cognitive characteristic of a learner from the given options. To answer this, we need to understand the difference between cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics.

Cognitive Characteristics: These are related to the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension. Cognitive skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, remembering, understanding, reasoning, and learning.

Non-Cognitive Characteristics: These refer to attitudes, beliefs, personality traits, and emotions that are not related to intellectual capacity. Non-cognitive traits include things like motivation, perseverance, beliefs, and attitude.

Now, let's analyze each option:

  1. Recalling: This is a cognitive process as it involves retrieving information from memory.
  2. Problem solving: This is a cognitive activity as it requires thinking through possible solutions and coming to a conclusion.
  3. Identifying important sensory inputs: Although it involves sensory processing, it is still largely a cognitive function as it involves evaluating and interpreting sensory data.
  4. Believing what is true: This involves belief systems and attitudes, which do not directly relate to intellectual activities. It represents a non-cognitive characteristic as it pertains to the attitudes and beliefs of a learner.

Given the analysis above, the option "Believing what is true" is a non-cognitive characteristic as it relates to the beliefs or attitudes of a learner rather than cognitive functions like recalling or problem-solving.

Conclusion: The correct answer is that "Believing what is true" is a non-cognitive characteristic of a learner.
