,Question 1
Brain-Based Learning
Correct Answer
an approach to teaching that is grounded in the latest research on how the brain learns best. Strategies that align
with the natural learning processes of the brain, making education more effective and engaging. Factors like
emotion, environment, repetition, and individual neurological differences significantly impact how well students
learn.
Question 2
Multisensory Instruction
Correct Answer
Brain retains information better when multiple senses are engaged.
Question 3
Brain Breaks
Correct Answer
The brain needs time to process and consolidate information. Implementing short breaks during lessons can
improve focus and retention.
This is also tied to ideas of "cognitive load," the theory that the brain has limited processing capacity at any given
time, and too much sensory or informational input can overwhelm learners.
Question 4
4 Exemplary Areas for Learning as a Science
Correct Answer
1) Modeling learning progressions and adapting learning experiences, resources, and feedback to support learners'
progress.
2) Collaborative learning and scaffolding, scripting, and orchestrating social interaction.
3) Simulations, visualization, modeling, and representation.
4) Opportunities to engage in hands-on constructive activities.
Question 5
10 Key Learning as a Science Principles
Correct Answer
1) Environment
2) Student's physical well-being
3) Learning is a process that involves effort, mistakes, reflection, and refinement.
4) Motivated to learn through autonomy, interests, and understanding the purpose.
5) Think deeply about the "to-be-learned" material to pay attention, build memories, and make meaning.
6) Retrieval practice.
7) Spacing out learning and interweaving different content.
8) Communicating high expectations.
9) Students feel safe in their learning.

, Question 6
Retrieval Practice
Correct Answer
A learning strategy where you actively recall information from memory, rather than passively reviewing it.
Strengthens memory; helps students flexibly apply what they learn, which strengthens the neural pathways
associated with that information.
Question 7
Collaboration and social interaction
Correct Answer
Encourages deeper processing
Question 8
Deliberately creating learning spaces, including desk placement, lighting, etc.
Correct Answer
Increases learning
Question 9
Strategies to elaborate on learning:
Correct Answer
1) Summarizing
2) Drawing
Question 10
Summarizing
Correct Answer
to create a verbal description that distills the most important information from a set of materials
Question 11
Drawings
Correct Answer
they use graphic strategies to portray important concepts and relationships
Question 12
Representational Drawing
Correct Answer
A simple diagram or depiction of a theory helps students recall factual information, but falls short when it comes to
deeper comprehension.
