Sample Kerala Plus Two Social Work (DHSE) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Kerala Plus Two Social Work (DHSE) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Primary methods of social work are best described as methods that:
A.Provide direct help to individuals, groups, and communities
B.Only analyse statistics without client contact
C.Replace all social legislation in a country
D.Focus exclusively on fundraising for agencies
Explanation: Primary methods—social case work, social group work, and community organisation—work directly with people to improve social functioning. Secondary methods (social action, social welfare administration, and social work research) support and enable that direct practice.
2Which set correctly lists the three classical primary methods of social work?
A.Budgeting, auditing, and taxation
B.Case work, group work, and community organisation
C.Social action, research, and accounting
D.Counselling, medicine, and policing
Explanation: The three primary (direct) methods are social case work, social group work, and community organisation. Social action, social welfare administration, and social work research are secondary (auxiliary) methods.
3Secondary methods of social work primarily:
A.Are used only with children under five
B.Apply only in international organisations
C.Support and strengthen direct helping processes
D.Eliminate the need for case work entirely
Explanation: Secondary methods—social action, social welfare administration, and social work research—are auxiliary. They organise resources, change unjust conditions, and generate knowledge so primary methods can work more effectively.
4Which trio correctly lists the secondary methods of social work?
A.Case work, group work, and community organisation
B.Interviewing, home visits, and recording only
C.First aid, surgery, and pharmacy
D.Social action, social welfare administration, and social work research
Explanation: Secondary methods are social action, social welfare administration, and social work research. Case work, group work, and community organisation are primary methods. Interviewing and recording are tools/techniques, not the secondary method trio.
5A social worker helping one adolescent and family resolve school-related personal problems is mainly using:
A.Social case work
B.Community organisation as the only method
C.Social work research without intervention
D.Social welfare administration alone
Explanation: Social case work helps individuals (and often families) improve social functioning through a professional helping relationship. Community organisation targets community-level problems; research generates knowledge; administration manages services.
6Organising neighbourhood residents to identify shared problems and mobilise local resources mainly illustrates:
A.Payroll management only
B.Community organisation
C.Individual psychotherapy only
D.Laboratory research only
Explanation: Community organisation is a primary method that helps communities identify needs, mobilise resources, and strengthen cooperative relationships so the community becomes more self-reliant.
7In professional social work, methods are best understood as:
A.Strictly medical procedures performed by doctors
B.Legal codes that replace professional judgment
C.Systematic, planned ways of helping people solve psychosocial problems
D.Random acts of charity without goals
Explanation: Social work methods are systematic and planned helping processes grounded in professional knowledge, values, and skills. They differ from unplanned charity, medical procedures, or pure legal codes.
8A campaign to change a discriminatory local policy while also counselling affected individuals shows social work practice that:
A.Must use only one method for the whole career of a worker
B.Is invalid because methods can never be combined
C.Is limited to research publication alone
D.Can combine primary and secondary methods as needed
Explanation: Practitioners often integrate methods: case work with individuals, group work, community organisation, social action for unjust policies, administration of services, and research for evidence. Methods are complementary tools, not mutually exclusive silos.
9Social case work primarily aims to:
A.Help individuals restore or enhance social functioning
B.Maximise agency profit margins
C.Replace all community programmes
D.Conduct only large-scale elections
Explanation: Social case work is a primary method focused on helping individuals (and sometimes families) cope with personal and social problems so that social functioning improves.
10Helen Harris Perlman’s classic components of social case work are known as the:
A.2 Cs: cost and capital only
B.4 Ps: person, problem, place, and process
C.3 Rs: reading, writing, and arithmetic only
D.5 Ms of industrial production only
Explanation: Perlman described case work through four components (4 Ps): the person (client), the problem, the place (agency/setting), and the process (helping process).

Kerala Plus Two Social Work (DHSE): Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorise the six classical methods: primary (case work, group work, community organisation) and secondary (social action, social welfare administration, social work research).
2Drill Perlman’s 4 Ps (person, problem, place, process) and case-work phases separately from group-work stages so you do not mix frameworks.
3For community organisation questions, look for participation, resource mobilisation, and cooperative problem-solving — not individual therapy language.
4Distinguish guidance (information/choice support) from counselling (helping process for emotional/psycho-social issues) before selecting options.
5Pair this MCQ bank with SCERT textbooks and write short/long answers under ~2.5-hour TE timing from official model papers on dhsekerala.gov.in.
