Gardner's Multiple Intelligences - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Our
abilities are best classified into eight or nine independent
intelligence, which include a broad range of skills beyond
traditional school smarts.
Spatial thinkers (visualizing problems and solutions), Linguistic
Thinkers (word and language), Logical-mathematical thinkers
(abstract and science-thinking through solving numerical
problems), Bodily-kinesthetic (learning using physical activity),
Musical, Interpersonal thinkers (working w/others),
Intrapersonal thinkers (working alone), Naturalistic thinkers
(relating subjects to nature), Existential thinkers (comprehend
concepts beyond actual information given)
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - THE CORRECT ANSWER-(level 1)
Physiological Needs, (level 2) Safety and Security, (level 3)
Relationships, Love and Affection, (level 4) Self Esteem, (level
5) Self Actualization
Learning Styles - THE CORRECT ANSWER-The manner in which one
gains knowledge or skill through education can vary as a
student matures and be different for each subject.
Auditory
Visual-Spatial
Kinesthetic
,Metacognition
Auditory - THE CORRECT ANSWER-is a learning style where students
learn best through listening to spoken information. Teachers
can use books or CDs or read alouds
Visual-Spatial - THE CORRECT ANSWER-is a learning style where
student learn best through reading and viewing tables, charts,
maps. This can be done through wiring word on the board as
you speak, encouraging students to do written reports, power
points presentations.
Kinesthetic - THE CORRECT ANSWER-students learn best through
physical activity and hands-on activities.
Metacognition - THE CORRECT ANSWER-"is knowing about knowing"
which means including what students know about the topic
being learned. Students noticing which concept or skill is more
difficult to learn. Teacher can encourage this by allowing
students to "self-questioning."
Teacher-centered approach - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Instructor
designs and presents developmentally appropriate activities in
class through lectures or explanations and demonstrations.
Instructor chooses when to progress students to the next task
Lecture or An Explanation - THE CORRECT ANSWER-a lecture is a

Teacher Questions - THE CORRECT ANSWER-frequently asked during
class; address the vast majority of questions to the entire class,
avoid rhetorical questions,
avoid question-and-answer drills,
set a target of about 70% of the questions to be answered
correctly, call on a wide range of students to answer, use both
higher and lower level questions on Bloom's Taxonomy
wait 4 or 5 seconds for an answer
formulate clear, purposeful, brief questions
active learning - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Learning by participation,
such as listening critically, discussing what you are learning,
and writing about it is student-centered approach. Teachers
should ask open-ended and indirect questions.
cooperative learning - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Approach to
instruction in which students work with a small group of peers
to achieve a common goal and help one another learn. (student-
centered approach)
