Mrs. Williams, a math teacher, is involved in helping her
students find the volume of rectangular solids using the
formula V = l x w x h. They had difficulty with the problems, and
couldn't seem to visualize the boxes when shown
pictures of them in their textbooks. Of the following, the best
solution to this dilemma according to Piaget would be to: -
ANSWER-show them an empty box and put cubes in it until it
was full to illustrate volume and the cubic dimension.
The fact that students organize the information they study in
the form of schemas has important implications for teaching.
Of the following, the most important implication of students'
tendencies to structure information in schemas is: - ANSWER-
students should be presented with relationships among ideas
as well as the ideas themselves.
You've read this item and you're sitting pondering it. The place
in your information processing system where this "pondering"
primarily takes place is: - ANSWER-working memory.
,When the phrase "Tall in the the saddle" is displayed on an
overhead, we tend to read it as "Tall in the saddle." Of the
following our tendency to miss the second 'the' in the phrase
best illustrates: - ANSWER-expectations and experience
affecting our perception.
A motion picture film is actually a series of still pictures, but we
"see" the movie as continuous action. This fact most closely
relates to which of the following? - ANSWER-Perception
After reading the chapter in the text, Carla then writes an
answer to each of the questions that are in the margins of the
book. After writing her answer, she looks at the feedback in the
student supplement. Her friend Heidi also reads the text. She
then reads the questions in the margins and then looks at the
feedback in the student supplement. Carla consistently scores
higher on the tests and quizzes.
Of the following, based on what we know about making
information meaningful, which is the best explanation for why
Carla scores higher than does Heidi? - ANSWER-By writing the
answers Carla puts herself in a more active role than does
Heidi.
You have a class of 28 students who come from a variety of
ethnic backgrounds and whose experiences vary widely. You
,want to begin teaching the students about the American
Revolutionary War. You write the word "Revolution" on the
chalkboard, and you ask, "What do we mean by 'Revolution'?"
Using information processing theory as a basis for your
teaching, which of the following best describes what you did? -
ANSWER-You attempted to check the students' perceptions by
asking them what the term meant to them.
Mr. Greer, another instructor at St. Johns River, is working on
finding the volume of pyramids with his math class. His
students have trouble distinguishing between the altitude of a
face of the pyramid and the altitude of the pyramid itself. He
than makes a pyramid out of cardboard and sticks a toothpick
down the middle and says, "Now this is the altitude of the
pyramid itself." They then deal effectively with the problem.
Based on this information, the best description of the stage of
cognitive development Mr. Greer's students are in is: -
ANSWER-concrete operational since they can solve the
problem with concrete materials.
Mrs. Reed teaches an 8th grade physical science class with
students of average to above average ability. The students are
having a difficult time understanding the idea that ice melts at
32 degrees Fahrenheit and water freezes at the same
, temperature. They can't understand how a solid and a liquid
can be at the same temperature when the material is the
same.Mrs. Reed explains, "Heat is required to change ice from
the solid 'state' to the liquid 'state.' The energy is needed to
break down the orderly arrangement of the molecules in the
ice, even though the molecules don't move any faster."Her
students still don't get it.According to Piaget, the best solution
to Mrs. Reed's problem would be to: - ANSWER-show them a
model illustrating the molecular motion of the substance in
each state and the change in motion as the ice melts.
Of the following, the most likely explanation Piaget would offer
for the students' difficulty would be: - ANSWER-the students
lack the concrete experiences needed to understand the ideas
involved.
Teachers often comment that they can easily tell which
students in their classes have had parents who have worked
with them in comparison with other students whose parents
have been less involved. Of the following, the Piagetian
concept most closely related to this description is: - ANSWER-
experience
