1. 1. A teacher asks her students to compare and contrast two animals they saw at the
zoo. This is an
example of what level of Bloom's taxonomy?
A. Knowledge
B. Comprehension
C. Application
D. Analysis
ANS : D: Analysis. Compare and Contrast is a higher level of thinking and requires analysis.
2. 2. Students studying fractions manipulate "fraction blocks," blocks cut to represent
fractional parts,
to learn the concept of adding and subtracting fractions.Which level of devel- opment as
described
by Piaget does this activity demonstrate?
A. Sensory-motor stage

B. Pre-operational stage
C. Concrete operational stage
D. Formal operations stage
ANS : C: Concrete operational stage. The manipulation of objects in the learning process
involves using
concrete materials to bridge understanding of abstract concepts.
3. 3. According to Kohlberg, at which developmental level do children under- stand that
good behavior
is expected?
A. Post-Conventional
B. Conventional
C. Pre-Conventional
D. Adolescent
ANS : B: Conventional. There is actually a hint to this answer in its name.
According to Kohlberg, the
stage of development during which children learn conventional behavior—e.g., good behavior—is

B. Microsystem
C. Macrosystem
D. Mesosystem
ANS : B: Microsystem. The family unit and the classroom unit constitute a small social system, a
microsystem.
6. 6. One of Vygotsky's major contributions to the field of early childhood
development is the concept
of
A. Punishment/obedience
B. A taxonomy of learning skill levels
C. The importance of play as a learning activity
D. The formal operations stage of development
ANS : C: The importance of play as a learning activity. Vygotsky pointed out that play is the
way
children learn cooperation and coordination, among other things.
