A psychology teacher is covering a unit about personal bias. Which activity
represents the use of progressive complexity based on Bloom's Taxonomy in
this situation? - ----ANS:Students analyze how biases affect thinking after

A teacher assigns real-world problem-solving tasks to groups of students.
What is the learning theory underlying the teaching approach in this scenario?
- ----ANS:Constructivism
A teacher designs the task for a lesson opener so that students have to use
the concepts they know in a new way. This presents just the right amount of
challenge.What is the strategy being used by this teacher? - ----ANS:Desirable
difficulty
A teacher encourages students to set goals for themselves to enhance their
learning. Which theory of learning science does the strategy in this scenario
demonstrate? - ----ANS:Constructivism

research for their final project. Which learning theory forms the basis of the
strategy in this scenario? - ----ANS:Constructivism

mathematics class. What is the learning theory underlying the teaching
approach in this scenario? - ----ANS:Cognitivism
A teacher uses songs to help students memorize the names of states and
state capitals. Which learning theory forms the basis of the strategy in this
scenario? - ----ANS:Cognitivism
A teacher uses stars on a chart to recognize outstanding student
performances. Which theory of learning science does the strategy in this
scenario demonstrate? - ----ANS:Behaviorism
A teacher values constructivism as a valuable approach to day-to-day
learning. Which strategy can the teacher use to incorporate this learning
theory? - ----ANS:Connecting each new concept to what students have
already learned
