Children actively construct their knowledge.. Which service is designed to gather reliable data on students? These data are kept in the guidance center and are helpful when the students come to their counselor for counseling or advise. Individual inventory services Counseling service Placement service Research service Accordingly, indirect instruction is based on the constructivism framework that focuses on the learners. It centers on the idea that learning should be “done by the learners.” Individualized teaching is one form of learner-centered. Pedagogy-centered instructions are not the foci of indirect instruction. They are better associated with essentialism and perennialism frameworks. Task analysis is done early in the planning process. Ideally, the culminating task for a unit would be developed as part of the backwards planning process. This means that the end goal is to establish the learning goal on which the instructional or behavioral objectives are aligned. Who asserted the innate goodness of the individual? Mencius Confucius Lao Tzu Lao Tzu Lee Kwan Yew Given an export or import graph, a teacher posts questions such as, what happens to export when import declines? Which particular skill is the teacher deducing from the students? Analyzing Generalizing Synthesizing Interpolating Incorrect The answer is D– Generalizing. Generalizing means gathering and summarizing all data to form a new set of knowledge. It is meant to extract from student deductive reasoning based from input already provided.

Interpolation is a method of constructing new data pointing within the range of a discrete set of known data points. Analysis means breaking the whole into parts to be able to extract meaning. Finally, systhesizing is limited to summaring. Which question would a constructivist teacher use to unlock pupils’ prior knowledge about the digestive system? What are the different organs involved in digestion? What do you know about digestion? Why do you think our stomach aches if we skip meals? Do you know how the food we eat get digested? Incorrect Asking “Why do you think our stomach aches if we skip meals?” would foster an interactive discussion since it is posted as a conceptual, divergent and HOTS question.The other choices are factual questions which promote less interaction. Which aim of the government’s educational program is attained with the introduction of the Accreditation and Equivalency Test for adults and out-of-school youths? Quality and relevance Quality Relevance Equitable access Some psychologists were for waiting until the child is ”ready” but one believed that a child can be prepared by developing the pre-requisite skills in an interesting and meaningful way. Who was this person? Ebbinghaus Gagne Bruner Kohler Incorrect Ebbinghaus was the proponent of the first series of research on human memory. Gagne presented the conditions of learning which are the basis of Bruner’s theory of instruction, which include among its principles the concepts of “readiness.” All of the following are functions of the right hemisphere of the brain EXCEPT __________. nonverbal function detail-oriented function intuitive function visual function Incorrect Right-brained people are believed to be artistic. Thus, they are nonverbal, visual, and intuitive in nature. Thus the exception among the choices is “detail-oriented function” which goes with a left-brained person. Which principle of association states that ideas, memories, and experiences are linked when one has frequent experiences with the other. Similarity Contiguity Contrast Philosophy

Semantic web emphasizes relationship of terms but there is no focus on hierarchy. A series of events chart is used when trying to do chronological sequencing. Venn diagram, on the other hand is better used when establishing comparisons. A concept map is ideal for establishing a relationship between important facts as well as focus hierarchy. Concepts, patterns and abstractions are qualities and characteristics of indirect instruction which focuses in student involvement. Direct instructions, on the other hand, takes learners through the steps of learning systematically, helping them see both the purpose and the result of each step. All the other choices are characteristics of direct instruction.
