◉ post conventional.
Answer: Kohlberg, whats right or wrong based on some higher
moral reasoning, full internalization, adulthood if ever, not many
reach it
◉ Conventional.
Answer: Kohlberg's stage of moral development where
interpersonal accord, conformity(social norms), authority and social
order maintaining orientation (law and order morality) are
developed
◉ pre operational stage.
Answer: 2nd stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development
-Ages 2-7 years
-Children learn to use language
-Children think literally and egocentrically here--> unable to take on
perspective of others
,◉ sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal
operational.
Answer: Name Piaget's cognitive development stages
◉ sensorimotor stage.
Answer: in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to nearly 2 years of
age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their
sensory impressions and motor activities. Learns object permanence
◉ concrete operational stage.
Answer: in Piaget's theory (7-11), the stage of cognitive
development during which children gain the mental operations that
enable them to think logically about concrete events, classify objects
according to features and order them in size
◉ formal operational stage.
Answer: In Piaget's theory(12yrs to adulthood), the stage of
cognitive development during which people begin to think logically
about abstract concepts and hypothetically
◉ Evaluation.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: to make a judgment of ideas or methods
using external evidence or self-selected criteria sustained by
observations or informed rationalizations
,◉ Synthesis.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: creative, mental construction of ideas
and concepts from multiple sources to form complex ideas into a
new, integrated and meaningful patter subject
◉ Analysis.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: separation of complex ideas into its
constituent parts and an understanding of organization and
relationship between the parts. Includes realizing the distinction
between hypothesis and facts and relevant variables.
◉ Application.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: abstractions, general principles, or
methods to specific concrete situations
◉ Comprehension.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: translate, interpret, extrapolate, but not
see full implications or transfer to other situations, closer to literal
translation
◉ knowledge.
Answer: Blooms Taxonomy: recall, or recognition of terms, ideas,
procedures, theories, etc.
, ◉ Phoneme Isolation.
Answer: recognizing the individual sounds in words. For example,
"Tell me the first sound you hear in the word top (/t/)."
◉ Substitution.
Answer: substituting one phoneme for another (change /s/ to /f/ sit
to fit)
◉ Categorization.
Answer: phoneme that recognizes the word in a set of three or four
words that has the "odd" sound (pin, pan, bug)
◉ identification.
Answer: Phoneme that recognizes the same sound in different
words
◉ Structural Analysis.
Answer: involves splitting words into their individual parts; prefix,
suffix, and root word to determine meaning.
◉ Alphabetic Principle.
