3 Chapter 2 : UGC NET Dec Exam Dates, Online Application, Syllabus, Eligibility Praiva Education is established with aim that serves the quality education to all the aspirants of UGC-NET/JRF and MA Entrance. We have Great faculty who provide interactive classroom program as well as very sophisticated Study material. Learning Theories Behavioral Theories Behavioral psychology, also known as behaviorism, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century. Today, behavioral techniques are still widely used in therapeutic settings to help clients learn new skills and behaviors. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shapes our behaviors. Cognitive Theories Cognitive theories of psychology are focused on internal states, such as motivation, problem solving, decision-making, thinking, and attention. Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that studies mental processes including how people think, perceive, remember and learn. As part of the larger field of cognitive science, this branch of psychology is related to other disciplines including neuroscience, philosophy and linguistics. The core focus of cognitive psychology is on how people acquire, process and store information. There are numerous practical applications for cognitive research, such as improving memory, increasing decision-making accuracy and structuring educational curricula to enhance learning. If you have ever wondered about what motivates human thought and behaviour, understanding these theories can provide useful insight into individuals and society. Humanist Theories Humanistic psychology theories began to grow in popularity during the s. While earlier theories often focused on abnormal behavior and psychological problems, humanist theories instead emphasized the basic goodness of human beings. Some of the major humanist theorists include Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. Personality Theories Almost every day we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to w hat personality psychologists do. Personality psychology looks at the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behavior that make a person unique. Some of the best known theories in psychology are devoted to the subject of personality. Almost everyday we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether w e realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to w hat personality psychologists do. Social Psychology Theories Social psychology is focused on helping us understand and explain social behavior. Social theories are generally centered on specific social phenomena, including group behavior, social influence, love and much more. Social psychology looks at a wide range of social topics, including group behavior, social perception, leadership, nonverbal behavior, conformity, aggression and prejudice. It is important to note that social psychology is not just about looking at social influences. Social perception and social interaction are also vital to understanding social behavior. Learning Theories Learning theories focus on how people learning and acquire new knowledge. This is an interdisciplinary topic of interest that often draws upon information from psychology, education, instructional design, and other areas.

Although there are many coaching institutes in Hyderabad City of Forts promising to provide quality education, but students have experienced that they all had been givingfalse promises. To them distance is not the matter. To get through any exams, it is essential to study. Practice alone qualifies us to be better and better. However, there are few strategies which can be followed while studying, especially so in the case of UGC NET, as it requires a lot of practice to answer objective type questions in less time. To appear in the UGC Net, it is must that the student starts preparing well in time, for which an estimate of four to six months is very much essential. The student must know the syllabus thoroughly. Each topic is important and needs to be prepared thoroughly. There is no room for leniency and prolongation. Each topic is essential for fetching the marks in the exam. Talking about the pattern of the paper, two papers out of three will be based on the subject of choice, and one will be based on General Awareness and aptitude Paper I. One needs to prioritize the subjects in such a way that one has a good command over the subjects. Questions on General Awareness and Aptitude can practiced by solving sample papers or previous years papers to know exactly how they come, and for the other two papers Pare II and III, one needs to be thorough with their subjects. It is just not reading that is important, but also making notes of the important topics, so that they are helpful during the revision session. The more the previous year papers PYP are solved the better it is. This really gives an idea as to how questions appear and you can make notes accordingly. There would be some questions which may not be understood, so guidance and coaching is must. All it needs is practice. Last but not the least is the Time Management Skills, which can only be mastered through regular practice. Keep a Time watch and set the time limit. Start Answering and see how many questions were you able to answer in say One hour. This practice will give you the exact picture, if you really need to increase your speed in answering. The solved papers of UGC Net can be viewed and downloaded from www. For more information, log on to www. Tentatively the exam date for June is 26th June, but UGC has not rolled out the dates as yet. Students are advised to visit the official site of the UGC on www. Both the modes are equally good, but it is suggested that the students take the classroom coaching, as it gives an access to the faculty and various issues can be clarified. Page 5

When the dry adiabatic lapse rate of ascending dry air is higher than the normal lapse rate and if it is not saturated and does not attain dew point, it becomes colder than surrounding air at certain height with the result it becomes heavier and descends. This process causes stability of atmospheric circulation due to which vertical circulation of air is resisted; When the ascending parcel of air reaches such height that its temperature equals temperature of surrounding air, its further upward movement is stopped. Such air is said to be in the state of neutral equilibrium. It is a case of abnormal conditions when the normal lapse rate is exceptionally very high 15 degree C to 35 degree C per m. The upper layers are cold and denser than the underlying layers, therefore, cold and denser upper layers automatically descend. Such situation is called mechanical instability and helps in the formation of tornado. When a parcel of air is forced to move upward, it cool at dry adiabatic lapse rate 10 degree C per m or 5. The air is initially forced to move upward but rises automatically due to its own properties after condensation point is reached. Dew The earth receives radiation from the sun during day and reflects in the night. When the earth reflects the heat the surface becomes cool and the air around it also becomes cooler. But there are two preconditions: After the rainy season in the winter, the air becomes cool and therefore adequate dews are formed in Oct. Fog It is a special type of thin cloud consisting of microscopically small water droplets which are kept in suspension in the air near the ground surface arid reduces horizontal visibility. Fog is generally associated with inversion of temperature and occurs in the morning hours but sometimes also continue till noon. When there is a mixture of smoke and fog, it becomes Smog. Radiation Fog Indian Monsoon Radiation fog is formed when warm and moist air lies surface. Due to this situation overlying warm and moist aircools and the dew point is reached, with the condensation of water vapour around hygroscopic nuclei dust particles and smokes forms numerous tiny water droplet and thus fog is originated. When fog is combined with sulphur dioxide it becomes poisonous and causes human deaths. Such fog is called urban smog. Advectional Radiation Fog The fog formed due to mixing of warm moist air and cold air due to arrival of warm and moist air over cold ground surface is called advectional radiation. The fogs occurring over sea surfaces are called sea fogs, which are generally formed, near the coastal areas frequented by cold ocean currents. Steam Fogs Steam fogs are in fact advectional fogs, which are formed when cold air moves from land over oceanic surface and there is evaporation of large quantity of moisture from water surface to saturate the overlying cold air. They are also called evaporation fogs. Upslope or Hill Fogs It originate when continental warm and moist air rises upslope along the hill slopes because the rising air is saturated due to cooling and condensation of moisture around hygroscopic nuclei and forms fogs which cover the lower segments of hill slopes. Frontal Fogs Fronts are formed when two contrasting air masses warm and cold air masses converge along a line. Warm air is pushed upward by cold air and hence overlying warm air is cooled from below due to underlying warm air is cooled from below due to underlying cold air and fogs originate after condensation. Frost When the temperature falls below freezing point, it forms a frost.
