Q3. Show how language in the classroom could affect a student's ability to understand.
A. This is an APPLICATION question because it asks to show or demonstrate the knowledge obtained in the lesson by answering a specific question on language in the classroom.
B.Language in the classroom has to be understandable to the students in order for them to learn effectively. If a teacher uses vocabulary that is too advanced for a group of students, they will not comprehend the content as well as they could with language that fits the learning environment.
Q4. Choose which lesson demonstrates the use of Developmental Learning Theory, which demonstrates Social Learning Theory, and which demonstrates Constructivist Learning Theory:
A. This is also an APPLICATION question because it asks the students to take what they know and apply it to situations or examples.
a. A teacher has students work in small groups to solve a math problem.
B. This example demonstrates the use of Social Learning Theory because the teacher lets them get into groups to help each other come to conclusions. It is a social activity that is focused on learning.
b. Two teachers present World War II to children, one to six year olds, and one to sixteen year olds. One teacher researches the motivations behind the war and the other has her class act out a skit.
B. This example demonstrates the use of Developmental Learning Theory because while both teachers are teaching the same content, they are using different methods that are geared towards specific age groups so that they can understand the same content at different levels.
c. A science teacher teaches density by beginning with children's bath toys and working toward rocks and anchors.
B. This example demonstrates the use of Constructivist Learning Theory because the first the teacher uses a basic props and then later introduces them to new props. The students will have to use their knowledge of the first set of props to analyze or figure out the density of the second set.
Q4. If a flat rectangular box and a narrow, tall rectangular box, both of which have the same volume, were filled with marshmallows, which box would an 8 year old believe had more marshmallows?
A. This is also an APPLICATION question (initially meant as an ANALYSIS question) because is asks to apply knowledge to a specific example.
B. The 8 year-old child would know that they were the same because past the age of 7, they are at the age of concrete perception.
