A. Begin teaching at the concrete level but go beyond it by reaching the abstract

B. Use purely verbal symbols in teaching

C. Start at the concrete level and end there

D. End teaching with verbal symbols

VIEW ANSWER

Option A

Explanation

Bruner’s Stages of Representation include Enactive (Action-based), Iconic (Image-based) and Symbolic (Language-based). Enactive stage is sometimes called the concrete stage, this first stage involves a tangible hands-on method of learning. Bruner believed that "learning begins with an action - touching, feeling and manipulating" (Brahier, 2009, p. 52).




 In mathematics education, manipulatives are the concrete objects with which the actions are performed. Common examples of manipulatives used in this stage in math education are algebra tiles, paper, coins, etc. - anything tangible. iconic (image-based) Sometimes called the pictorial stage, this second stage involves images or other visuals to represent the concrete situation enacted in the first stage. One way of doing this is to simply draw images of the objects on paper or to picture them in one's head. Other ways could be through the use of shapes, diagrams, and graphs. symbolic (language-based)Sometimes called the abstract stage, the last stage takes the images from the second stage and represents them using words and symbols. The use of words and symbols "allows a student to organize information in the mind by relating concepts together" (Brahier, 2009, p. 53). 




The words and symbols are abstractions, they do not necessarily have a direct connection to the information. For example, a number is a symbol used to describe how many of something there are, but the number in itself has little meaning without the understanding of it means for there to be that number of something. Other examples would be variables such as x or y, or mathematical symbols such as +, -, /, etc. Finally, language and words are another way to abstractly represent the idea. In the context of math, this could be the use of words such as addition, infinite, the number three, etc.

15. If you make use of the indirect instruction method, you begin your lesson with:

A. Guided practice

B. A review of previous day’s work

C. Advance organizers that provide an overall picture of the lesson

D. Independent

VIEW ANSWER

Option C

Explanation

Some reviewers say the answer is “a review of previous day’s work.” But take note that the question is how to begin your lesson with an indirect instruction.

Some of the indirect instructional functions are stated here under as summarized by Borich (1988) and Hussen (2000). The instructor:

1.  Provides a means of organizing content before instruction. It is to introduce (set) the learning task in advance. It has both psychological (motivation) and cognitive (knowledge) function. The psychological function is mainly to get greater attention of students’ motivation to learn. The cognitive function is set through advance organizers that help students learn meaningfully
2. Provides contextual movement using inductive (specific to general) and deductive (general to specific) methods.
3. Uses examples and non-examples: it is to give examples (real world or tangible examples) and non-examples (ideal world or non-tangible examples) explanations of concepts to promote accurate generalizations.
4. Uses questions to guide the search and discovery process.
5. Encourages students to relate ideas to past learning and use references from their own experience, to seek clarification, and to draw parallels and associations that aid understanding and retention.
6. Permits students to assess the appropriateness of their own responses and if necessary provides guidance.
7. Uses discussion to encourage critical thinking/scrutinizes various ways, to forecast, and to come up with generalization etc/.

Thematic learning is a newer concept in pedagogy. It is proved to be a powerful instructional method for integrating various concepts in curriculum by daily life examples and experiences. Thematic learning is geared towards accommodation of interests of individual learners and abilities. Thematic learning techniques fosters teamwork and support in the group since the group is a heterogeneous mixture being taught by a team of two facilitators. Thematic learning comprises teams with varied sizes, and work using problem solving techniques and project methods. The individual is made to progress at one's own pace, and thus develop decision making skill and responsibility.[4] Thematic learning does not have a fixed upper limit. Thematic learning helps in promoting learning with understanding and discourages rote learning

A. Conceptual interrelatedness

B. Multiple perspectives

C. Authentic assessment

D. Passive acceptance of information

VIEW ANSWER

Option A

Jonassen (1991) notes that many educators and cognitive psychologists have applied constructivism to the development of learning environments. From these applications, he has isolated a number of design principles:

1. Create real-world environments that employ the context in which learning is relevant;
2. Focus on realistic approaches to solving real-world problems;
3. The instructor is a coach and analyzer of the strategies used to solve these problems; 
4.  Stress conceptual interrelatedness, providing multiple representations or perspectives on the content;
5. Instructional goals and objectives should be negotiated and not imposed;
6.  Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool;
7. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple perspectives of the world;
8. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner. (pp.11-12)

A. Emotional factors

B. Neurological factors

C. Poor teaching

D. Immaturity

VIEW ANSWER

Option B

Explanation

Difficulty in reading can also be linked with emotional factors. Reading difficulty is often associated with intelligence and intellectual factors. Language factors also affect reading performance.




Emotional Factors Failing readers, particularly if they have a long history of failure, often have accompanying emotional problems that impede reading. Emotional problems tend to increase as a youngster moves up through the elementary years and enters adolescence.




Homes that are weighed down by poverty, family instability, and neighborhoods where violence is commonplace increase the likelihood that children will be at risk for school failure. On any given night, the number of homeless children is estimated to be at least 500,000 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010).




Parents can stimulate their child’s love for reading. Parents who read to children, take them to libraries, and buy books as presents teach children to value reading. When children observe parents who are readers, the parents provide a role model for

literacy. Further, the parental role continues to be crucial even after the child enters school.
