,QUESTION 1
1.1 Define the term “developmentally appropriate practice”. (4)
Developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) refers to an educational approach
that takes into account the age, developmental stage, individual needs, and
cultural background of each learner. DAP aims to create a learning environment
and curriculum that are tailored to meet the unique characteristics and abilities of
students at a particular stage of their development. This approach considers the
social, emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects of a child's growth and ensures
that teaching methods, materials, and activities are aligned with their readiness
and interests.
1.2 Write the list of SIX guidelines that may assist teachers in structuring
learning activities to accommodate learners with special needs. (6)
1. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): Develop and implement IEPs for
students with special needs, outlining specific learning goals,
accommodations, and support services.
2. Differentiated Instruction: Modify teaching methods, materials, and
assessments to meet the diverse learning styles and abilities of students.
3. Inclusive Learning Environments: Foster an inclusive classroom culture
where all students are respected, valued, and actively engaged in learning.
4. Accessibility and Assistive Technology: Ensure that classrooms are
physically accessible, and utilize assistive technologies or tools to support
students with disabilities.
5. Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with special education
professionals, parents, and support staff to share information and
strategies for meeting the needs of students with special needs.
, 6. Flexibility and Patience: Be flexible in adapting lesson plans and patient
in providing additional support to students who require it, recognizing that
progress may vary among individuals.
1.3 Differentiate between 2D and 3D objects. Give at least TWO concrete
examples of each dimension. (5)
2D Objects (Two-Dimensional):
Definition: 2D objects have only two dimensions: length and width. They
are flat and have no depth or thickness.
Examples:
1. Triangle: A shape with three sides and three angles, such as an
equilateral triangle.
2. Circle: A perfectly round shape with no corners or edges.
3D Objects (Three-Dimensional):
Definition: 3D objects have three dimensions: length, width, and depth.
They are solid and occupy space.
Examples:
1. Sphere: A perfectly round 3D object, like a ball.
2. Cube: A solid with six equal square faces, like a standard dice.
1.4 Name and describe FIVE principles of design. (10)
1. Balance: Balance in design refers to the distribution of visual elements to
create a sense of equilibrium. There are three types:
o Symmetrical Balance: Elements are mirrored on both sides of a
central axis, creating a sense of formality and stability.
o Asymmetrical Balance: Elements are not mirrored but are arranged
in a way that achieves balance through contrast and visual weight.
