1. Under the 21st Century Life and Career Skills, which enables a person to respond to the change of modernity?
A. Flexibility and Adaptability
B. Social and Cross-Cultural skills
C. Leadership and Responsibility
D. Productivity and Accountability
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Flexibility and Adaptability in the classroom are two of most important qualities that every teacher must possess. These two characteristics also go hand-in-hand with one another. Flexibility is the idea that your plans can change very quickly, sometimes with notice and sometimes without. Receiving criticism (good and bad) from your advisers is extremely important in terms of flexibility because it will force you to change up what you are used to doing. Being flexible means incorporating this feedback into your teaching. Also, on-the-spot changes may also need to me made based on certain situations in the classroom, often without prior realization. Adaptability is the ability to adapt to change. In general, it is being able to acclimate yourself to changing roles, job responsibilities, material, and schedules. If you cannot accommodate for these different aspects of teaching, it will be difficult to give your students the best learning experience that they could possibly get, and of course that's always the goal!

VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
No one can learn for us in the same way that nobody can eat for us, nor live for us, nor die for us. If it is my brother who solves my assignment in algebra, then it is my brother not me who will master the skill of solving problems in algebra. This means that we must actively engage the learners in learning activities if we want them to learn what we intend to teach. We must give our students opportunities to participate in classroom activities. This quote serves as a summary of the first principle: “What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.”

C. II, III and IV
D. I, II, III and IV
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Marzano and Kendall have given Bloom’s taxonomy a bit of working over. They reframed the three Domains and instead of categorizing learning activities they describe six levels of processing the knowledge as follows. • Retrieval – involves the recognition and recall of information and the execution of mental procedures and psychomotor procedures. • Comprehension – involves the integration and symbolization of knowledge. • Analysis – involves matching and classifying activities, analyzing errors, generalizing from foundational knowledge, and specifying logical consequences. • Knowledge Utilization – involves decision-making, problem-solving, experimenting, and investigating. • Meta-cognitive System –involves the learner’s specification of learning goals, monitoring of the learner’s own process, clarity, and accuracy of learning. Simply put consists of the learner’s organization of their own knowledge. • Self-System – involves the learner’s examination of the Importance of the learning task and their self-efficacy. It also involves the learner’s emotional response to the learning task and their motivation regarding it.

A. Applying
B. Analyzing
C. Synthesizing
D. Evaluating
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
empty
Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective, and sensory domains. The cognitive domain list has been the primary focus of most traditional education and is frequently used to structure curriculum learning objectives, assessments, and activities. • Knowledge – involves recognizing or remembering facts, terms, basic concepts, or answers without necessarily understanding what they mean. Its characteristics may include: a) Knowledge of specifics—terminology, specific facts b) Knowledge of ways and means of dealing with specifics—conventions, trends and sequences, classifications, and categories, criteria, methodology c) Knowledge of the universals and abstractions in a field—principles, and generalizations, theories and structures • Comprehension – involves demonstrating an understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating the main ideas. • Application – involves using acquired knowledge—solving problems in new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques, and rules. Learners should be able to use prior knowledge to solve problems, identify connections and relationships, and how apply them in new situations. • Analysis – involves examining and breaking information into component parts, determining how the parts relate to one another, identifying motives or causes, making inferences, and finding evidence to support generalizations. • Synthesis – involves building a structure or pattern from diverse elements; it also refers to the act of putting parts together to form a whole. • Evaluation – involves presenting and defending opinions by making judgments about information, the validity of ideas, or the quality of work based on a set of criteria.v>15.

16. This is the time the teacher actually spends in the classroom giving instruction by various means.
A. Academic learning time
B. Mandated time
C. Allocated time
D. Teaching time
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
The clock seems to manage every school day. The daily schedule is based on a variety of factors, such as state- or district-mandated time periods for a given subject, bus schedules, local school schedules for special classes, lunch periods, and teacher planning time. Wong and Wong (1998) describe four different types of school-day time: • Allocated time. The total time for teacher instruction and student learning. • Instructional time. Also known as teaching time. The time teachers are actively teaching. • Engaged time. The time students are involved in a task. • Academic learning time. The time teachers can prove that students learned the content or mastered the skill.

17. What is an OBE/OBTL practice in Teacher Algie’s class?
A. Students’ correcting their own answers
B. The seatwork
C. Teacher Jing gave the answers
D. None at all
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Outcomes-Based Education/Outcomes-Based Teaching-Learning (OBE/OBTL) is focused not on what the teacher intends to teach but rather the emphasis is on what is the outcome from the learner of that teaching is intended to be. The basic premise of OBTL is that the teaching and learning activities and assessment methods are constructively aligned with the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for the course. In other words, the outcomes determine the curriculum content, the teaching methods and strategies, and the assessment process. The outcomes also provide a framework for curriculum evaluation. Teacher Algie’s practice was not in accordance with OBE/OBTL because she didn’t state the intended learning outcomes for the lesson. The activity she gave was not based on outcomes.

24. The subject matter is the ASEAN Qualifications Framework (AQRF). The Asian History teacher teams up with the Economics teacher, the Professional Education teacher for a thorough discussion of AQRF from the perspective of other disciplines. Which describes the Asian History teacher’s pedagogical approach?
A. Reflective
B. Integrated
C. Inquiry-Based
D. Constructivist
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
The integrated approach helps pupils get a unified view of reality, and enhances their capability to acquire real-life skills. It does this by linking learning content between and among subject areas. There is integration when pupils are able to connect what they are learning in one subject area to a related content in another subject area. For instance, topics learned in Math or Social Studies may be used by the pupils with related concepts and skills in Reading and Language. The quality of learning outcomes improves as pupils are able to integrate information across disciplines instead of acquiring them in isolation.
25. Teacher Belinda avoids out-of-context drills. Instead she used real world problems for her students to solve. Doing so makes Teacher Beth _________ in approach.
A. Reflective
B. Constructivist
C. Inquiry-based
D. Developmentally appropriate
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Inquiry-based learning is an approach to learning that emphasizes the student's role in the learning process. Rather than the teacher telling students what they need to know, students are encouraged to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas. Inquiry-based learning uses different approaches to learning, including small-group discussion and guided learning. Instead of memorizing facts and material, students learn by doing. This allows them to build knowledge through exploration, experience, and discussion.

A. Subject-centered approach
B. Teacher-centered approach
C. Student-centered approach
D. School-centered approach
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Student-centered learning, also known as learner-centered education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student. In original usage, student-centered learning aims to develop learner autonomy and independence by putting responsibility for the learning path in the hands of students by imparting them with skills and basis on how to learn a specific subject and schemata required to measure up to the specific performance requirement. Student-centered instruction focuses on skills and practices that enable lifelong learning and independent problem-solving. Student-centered learning theory and practice are based on the constructivist learning theory that emphasizes the learner's critical role in constructing meaning from new information and prior experience.

A. Deductively
B. Inductively
C. Deductively then Inductively
D. Inductively then deductively
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
The correct answer is A. Teacher Vel Marie started her lesson on the rule (general) on how to multiply fractions then proceed with giving examples (specific). Deductive approach involves the learners being given a general rule, which is then applied to specific language examples and honed through practice exercises. An inductive approach involves the learners detecting, or noticing, patterns and working out a 'rule' for themselves before they practice the language.

41. Which statement about student diversity is CORRECT
A. Student diversity is solely due to students varied culture.
B. Teachers should value and accept diversity of students.
C. Teachers should not accept diversity of students.
D. The less diversity the better for the teacher and students.
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Having a diverse group of students simply means recognizing that all the people are unique in their own way. Their differences could consist of their reading level, athletic ability, cultural background, personality, religious beliefs, and the list goes on. There has always been diversity in the classroom, but in today society it is important to embrace it and make positive use of it. Teachers should value diversity and they need to model this attitude to their students. When people value diversity, they recognize and respect the fact that people are different and that these differences is generally a good thing. For example, when attempting to solve a problem, it is better to assemble a diverse team with many skills and many different ways of approaching the problem than it is to assemble a team that has all their strength concentrated in one area.

A. As I do things I fell I made a mistake.
B. I do things without worrying about them.
C. I worry that my parents will find about them.
D. I am apologetic about what I’ve done.
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
If you are a parent or if you have ever interacted with a child between the ages of 18 months and 3 years, then you have probably witnessed many of the hallmarks of the autonomy versus shame and doubt stage. According to Erikson, children at this stage are focused on developing a greater sense of self-control. It is at this point in development that young children begin to express a greater need for independence and control over themselves and the world around them. The major question to be answered in this stage is "Can I do things myself or am I reliant on the help of others?"
44. How does a novice learner acquire information?
A. Meaningful information
B. Selected information
C. Important information
D. All of the information
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Novice learners are well-intentioned folks who are typically brimming with enthusiasm while lacking actual knowledge about the subject being taught. They have limited or nonexistent experience with most of their understanding of the subject based on basic rules. In problem solving, they are satisfied with just scratching the surface and hurriedly gives a solution to the problem. They employ rigid strategies that may not be appropriate to the task at hand, attempt to process all the information they receive, and do not examine the quality of their work nor stop to make revisions.
45. Which level of knowledge is manifested when a learner is able to answer the question, "What was most confusing to me about the material explored in class today?"
A. Factual knowledge
B. Conceptual knowledge
C. Procedural knowledge
D. Metacognitive knowledge
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
In 1999, Dr. Lorin Anderson, a former learner of Bloom's, and his colleagues published an updated version of Bloom’s Taxonomy that takes into account a broader range of factors that have an impact on teaching and learning. This revised taxonomy attempts to correct some of the problems with the original taxonomy. Unlike the 1956 version, the revised taxonomy differentiates between “knowing what,” the content of thinking, and “knowing how,” the procedures used in solving problems. The Knowledge Dimension is the “knowing what.” It has four categories: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. Factual knowledge includes isolated bits of information, such as vocabulary definitions and knowledge about specific details. Conceptual knowledge consists of systems of information, such as classifications and categories. Procedural knowledge includes algorithms, heuristics or rules of thumb, techniques, and methods as well as knowledge about when to use these procedures. Metacognitive knowledge refers to knowledge of thinking processes and information about how to manipulate these processes effectively.
46. Who coined the term “scaffolding”?
A. Bruner
B. Piaget
C. Vygotsky
D. Pavlov
VIEW ANSWER
Option B
Explanation
Instructional scaffolding, also known as “Vygotsky scaffolding” or just “scaffolding,” is a teaching method that helps students learn more by working with a teacher or a more advanced student to achieve their learning goals. The theory behind instructional scaffolding is that, compared to learning independently, students learn more when collaborating with others who have a wider range of skills and knowledge than the student currently does. These instructors or peers are the “scaffolding” who help the student expand her learning boundaries and learn more than she would be able to on her own.
