TEFL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS||UPDATED 2025/2026 SYLLABUS||100% GUARANTEED PASS||A+ GRADED||NEWEST VERSION|| What are 3 steps in the paraphrasing process? - ANSWER Reword, Rechech, & Rearrange Bloom's taxonomy (1 of 2) - ANSWER Benjamin Bloom studied learning and came to the conclusion that learning activities could be categorized into 6 segments based on the level of thinking that they require. He framed his theory into the shape of a triangle with the lowest-level thinking at the bottom. He did this because even though the lower-level activities require less thinking, they provide the base for higher-level thinking. He believed (as many do) it is hard to extend your learning on a topic if you do not understand the topic itself. We will discuss each category in reverse order, starting with what Bloom labeled as the lowest level of thinking. Bloom's taxonomy: Remember - ANSWER At the base of this triangle, representing the lowest level of thinking, is any activity that requires a student to recall facts and basic concepts. These types of activities are extremely important in a student's learning, since it is hard to take the next step without first knowing the basic facts. Activities that require students to remember include defining words, memorizing facts, listing things, and repeating information. Bloom's taxonomy: Understand - ANSWER At the next level of thinking, teachers ask students to comprehend what they are memorizing and repeating. In order for students to explore content in any way, they need to comprehend what they are studying. Activities that require students to explain ideas or concepts include classifying information, describe, discuss, and explain information. Bloom's taxonomy (2 of 2): Apply - ANSWER Once students understand the information they are learning, they can take the next step and apply what they learned to new situations. This displays a higher level of thinking because the student needs to understand the concept enough to apply it to something different. For example: a student may recite Romeo & Juliet which displays memory. They may comprehend the play enough to explain it, which displays understanding. Now, if they can take that comprehension of the play and use it to understand Othello, they are applying their knowledge. Activities that require students to apply their knowledge include implementing plans, solving problems, and demonstrating knowledge. Bloom's taxonomy: Analyze - ANSWER True analysis of a concept requires a student to have accomplished all the levels of thinking that come before it. In order to delve into a topic and analyze more than what is explicitly stated, a student needs to understand it completely. When students analyze, they draw connections between ideas and explore connotative and deep meaning. Activities that require students to analyze include differentiating information, organizing information, comparing and contrasting, and experimenting. Bloom's taxonomy: Evaluate - ANSWER The act of evaluating does not necessarily require much thinking; we are constantly in judgment of things we know nothing about. However, to make an accurate judgment about something, you need to completely understand it. Ask your students if Americans were justified in fighting against the British in the American Revolution. They will need to understand how the war began, why each side fought, then make a determination about the colonies' justification. Activities that require students to justify a stand or decision include appraisals, arguments, judgments, and critiques. Bloom's taxonomy: Create - ANSWER The highest level of thinking, according to Bloom, is when you ask your students to synthesize what they have learned and create something new. The idea behind the emphasis on this skill is that students need to understand something completely to now go and create something of their own that is related. Activities that require students to synthesize their knowledge include designing, assembling, constructing, writing (something original), etc. Pedagogy - Behaviorism (1 of 2): Positive reinforcement - ANSWER When an outsider rewards a desired behavior by providing a desired stimulus. An example of this is giving a student a good grade for working hard on an assignment. Pedagogy - Behaviorism (1 of 2): Negative reinforcement - ANSWER This is probably the most misunderstood term in behaviorism. The word negative refers to removal, and the word reinforcement refers to a stimulus. Therefore, negative reinforcement is when an outsider rewards a desired behavior by removing an undesirable stimulus. An example of this would be rewarding a student for good behavior by not yelling at him or her like you normally would. Pedagogy - Behaviorism (1 of 2): Positive punishment - ANSWER This is when an outsider presents the subject with an undesirable stimulus as a consequence of doing something wrong or not doing something right. An example of this would be giving a student an F for not doing his or her work. Pedagogy - Behaviorism (1 of 2): Negative punishment - ANSWER This is when an outsider removes a desired stimulus from the subject as a consequence of doing something wrong or not doing something right. An example of this would be telling a student he or she can no longer sit with friends because he or she is misbehaving. Classic Conditioning - ANSWER which refers to conditioning involuntary behavior (a dog does not choose to salivate) Operant Conditioning - ANSWER B.F. Skinner extended this idea, referring to his ideas as operant conditioning, which refers to conditioning voluntary actions through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviorism (2 of 2): Theories 1 - ANSWER Learners are not active in the learning process, but rather passive participants who are simply responding to stimuli. Behaviorism (2 of 2): Theories 2 - ANSWER Learners begin as a blank page, and behavior is only shaped when stimuli provide either positive or negative reinforcement. Behaviorism (2 of 2): Theories 3 - ANSWER The more a behavior is reinforced, whether negatively or positively, the more likely the student is to repeat that behavior. Behaviorism (2 of 2): Theories 4 - ANSWER In the same way, the more a behavior is punished, whether negatively or positively, the less likely the student is to repeat that behavior.

What are 3 steps in the paraphrasing process? - ANSWER ✓ Reword, Rechech, &
Rearrange

Bloom's taxonomy (1 of 2) - ANSWER ✓ Benjamin Bloom studied learning and
came to the conclusion that learning activities could be categorized into 6 segments
based on the level of thinking that they require. He framed his theory into the
shape of a triangle with the lowest-level thinking at the bottom. He did this because
even though the lower-level activities require less thinking, they provide the base
for higher-level thinking. He believed (as many do) it is hard to extend your
learning on a topic if you do not understand the topic itself. We will discuss each
category in reverse order, starting with what Bloom labeled as the lowest level of
thinking.

Bloom's taxonomy: Remember - ANSWER ✓ At the base of this triangle,
representing the lowest level of thinking, is any activity that requires a student to
recall facts and basic concepts. These types of activities are extremely important in
a student's learning, since it is hard to take the next step without first knowing the
basic facts. Activities that require students to remember include defining words,
memorizing facts, listing things, and repeating information.

Bloom's taxonomy: Understand - ANSWER ✓ At the next level of thinking,
teachers ask students to comprehend what they are memorizing and repeating. In
order for students to explore content in any way, they need to comprehend what
they are studying. Activities that require students to explain ideas or concepts
include classifying information, describe, discuss, and explain information.

Bloom's taxonomy (2 of 2): Apply - ANSWER ✓ Once students understand the

,learned to new situations. This displays a higher level of thinking because the
student needs to understand the concept enough to apply it to something different.
For example: a student may recite Romeo & Juliet which displays memory. They
may comprehend the play enough to explain it, which displays understanding.
Now, if they can take that comprehension of the play and use it to understand
