QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔A model for responsible decision-making to students - ✔✔1.describe the situation
requiring you to make a decision
2.list all of the decisions you could potentially make
3.share this list of potential decisions with an adult you trust
4.Evaluate what the consequences of each of decisions could be
5.determine which of the decisions you identified is the most appropriate and
responsible one
6.take action on the decision you've chosen
7.evaluate the outcomes of the decision that you have made
✔✔conflict - ✔✔a situation wherein both or either party perceives a real or imagined
threat. Confronting and resolving conflicts stop them from going on indefinitely
✔✔affective skill - ✔✔How effectively an individual can recognize, understand and
handle emotions and relationships. Allows an individual to feel appropriate emotion in
response to certain situations or stimuli.
✔✔cognitive skill - ✔✔ability to gather and understand information allows to
comprehend new situations and apply the knowledge that they gathered elsewhere
✔✔psychomotor skill - ✔✔ability to coordinate physical movements. Control over simple
and complex motor functions.
✔✔pareto analysis system - ✔✔decision making model which assumes that
approximately 80% of the benefits that an organ receives from a particular task are
result of 20% of the effort that the various individuals within the organ put into the task.
80% of problems produced by 20% of the factors.
-list all problems
-group so similar benefits and factors together
-each group then given score based on how affects overall organ
✔✔Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development - ✔✔Theorizes that children will
learn more effectively if they are allowed to actively adapt to the world around them
through play and exploration. Four stages are:
1) sensorimotor stage - ages 0-2
2) preoperational stage -ages 2-7
3) concrete stage - ages 7-11(concrete operational stage where child's thinking
becomes more logical regarding concrete concepts.)
4) formal operational stage - ages 11 and up (formal operational stage...during this
stage, an individual understands more abstract concepts and develops a logical way of
thinking about those concepts.
, This is important to the study of child development because it was the first theory that
recognized that children can actively and effectively learn on their own rather tan being
dependent on another person for learning to occur.
✔✔sensorimotor stage (Piaget's theory of cognitive development) - ✔✔0-2 years; period
during which a child uses their senses of sight, hearing, and touch to learn about and
explore elements of the world. Using senses, able to discover new ways of solving
simple problems. Begin to develop hand-eye coordination and ability to reason out a
method of achieving goals.
✔✔preoperational stage (2, Piaget) - ✔✔2-7; children begin to use words, symbols, and
pictures to describe what they have discovered about particular elements of the world
around them. Begin to develop an understanding of language, and they can focus their
attention on a particular subject or object. Have a faulty sense of logic when attempting
to understand concepts like volume, mass, and number when some element is
changed.
✔✔concrete operational stage (3, Piaget) - ✔✔7-11; stage in which a child's thinking
becomes more logical regarding concrete concepts; capable of understanding concepts
of mass, volume, and number; begins to identify and organize objects according to
shape, size, and color. Will not be able to understand more abstract concepts like
calculus or algebra.
✔✔formal operational stage (4, Piaget) - ✔✔11-end of life; more abstract concepts and
develops a logical way of thinking about those concepts. Ideas that are less concrete or
absolute and that cannot necessarily be backed up by physical evidence or observation
such as morality, advanced math, and a person's state of being. can understand all the
variables in a problem and able to determine most, if not all, the possible solutions to a
problem rather than just most obvious solutions.
✔✔cost/benefit analysis - ✔✔decision- making strategy that examines the total
estimated cost of each option that is available alongside the total estimated benefit of
each option available and then compares the cost with the benefit to determine if the
benefits of the option outweigh the cost
-relies heavily on estimation, which makes inaccurate
✔✔Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - ✔✔Maslow's pyramid of human needs;
must satisfy levels below before reaching to next; can go up and down pyramid stages
physiological needs
safety
love and belonging
esteem
self-actualization
✔✔physiological needs - ✔✔basic needs: food, water, air, sleep
