without amplification that adversely affects a child's educational performance" may have
which of the following disabilities?
(a) Deafness
(b) Deaf-Blindness
(c) Specific Learning Disability
(d) Multiple Learning Disability - ANS-Deafness is defined as a hearing impairment that
is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through
hearing, with or without amplification that adversely affects a child's educational
performance.
A learning disability is.. - ANS-Keeps legs from crossing; fits between legs
A leg brace is an example of what type of instructional technology?
(a) Adaptive equipment.
(b) Assistive technology
(c) Verbal technology
(d) Auditory technology - ANS-Adaptive equipment
A leg brace is an example of adaptive equipment. Adaptive equipment is designed and
used to help disabled students perform a particular function.
A presupposition means which of the following?
(a) polysemy
(b) proposition
(c) performative
,(d) assumption - ANS-assumption
An example of a presupposition would be, " Dan stopped smoking on New Years Day".
This sentence, may be a true statement of fact, but it is also making an assumption. The
speaker or writer is assuming that Dan was smoking before New Years Day. The
sentence is assuming that it is factual.
A solid needs analysis for EAP students should take into account
(a) the target situation, the geographical area of study, the student and the teacher
(b) the target situation, the employer or sponsor, the student and the teacher
(c) the target situation, the geographical area of study, the employer or sponsor and the
teacher
(d) the target situation, the geographical area of study, the goals of the student and the
student himself - ANS-the target situation, the employer or sponsor, the student and the
teacher
Researchers have identified four dimensions of needs. They are the needs of the: target
situation, employer or sponsor, student and course designer or teacher.
A student says, "Help my chicken eat," instead of "Help eat my chicken." Identify the
incorrect dimension of language used by the student.
(a) morphology
(b) pragmatics
(c) semantics
(d) syntax - ANS-syntax
Syntax refers to the meaningful arrangement of words into sentences. In this case, the
words were transposed, and the sentence's meaning was changed.
A student with a physical or health disability should be repositioned frequently to avoid
all but which of the following?
(a) boredom
(b) pressure sores
(c) discomfort
(d) redness - ANS-boredom
A student with a physical or health disability should be repositioned frequently to avoid
the development of pressure sores, redness, and discomfort. This helps the child
concentrate on the learning environment rather than his/her physical condition.
A teacher that teaches using a cultural perspective must also do which of the following?
(a) Recognize differences
(b) Teach the values of America
(c) Understand student cultures
(c) Look at their own biases - ANS-Teach the values of America
A teacher needs to be culturally aware and apply it everyday. But teachers must also
teach students American values such as: individual achievement, independence, and
efficiency. This may seem odd, but the white middle class orientation of American
schools is what the students are living in and they need to respect all values even
though they may be different
,Abductor - ANS-Keeps legs from crossing fits btwn legs
Accretion - ANS-gradual accumulation of mass through collisions and gravity in a
certain region of the disk
Achondrites - ANS-1. meteorites lacking chondrules
2. melted and differentiated chondrites
Activating and building prior knowledge - ANS-Give background info
Explicit teaching: give purpose; introduce lesson
Model
Guide
Activating prior knowledge will.. - ANS-Help prepare and involve students
ADA - ANS-Americans with Disabilities Act. Protects those with physical or mental
impairments.
ADA definition of a disability - ANS-A physical or mental impairment that substantially
limits a major life activity.
Adapting Instruction for Gifted - ANS-When teaching students that have above-average
ability, creativity, and a high degree of talk commitment: Provide students with enriched
or differentiated units; permit them to test out of required units; do not isolate these
students from the rest of the class.
Adapting Instruction for Hearing Impaired - ANS-Ensure student wears hearing aid.
Students with less than 50% loss will probably be able to hear from 3 to 5 feet away.
Adapting Instruction for Learning Disabled - ANS-Should be given structured, brief
assignments, manipulative experiences, and many opportunities for auditory learning.
Adapting Instruction for Mildly Handicapped - ANS-Focus on a few, highly relevant
skills. Provide more learning time and lots of practice; provide students with concrete
experiences; do not do for students what they can do for themselves even if it takes
extended time.
Adapting instruction for Reading Level - ANS-Make sure level is appropriate. Use
alternative modes such as tapes to read to child.
Low reading level does not mean student cannot learn content.
Adapting Instruction for Visually Impaired - ANS-Place student where he or she can
most easily see instruction. Use large learning aids and large print books, multisensory
approaches.
, Adapting instructions for age - ANS-Primary students should have more structure,
shorter lessons, less explanation, more public praise, group instruction and
manipulatives.
Older students should have less structure, longer lessons with more explanation, less
public praise, whole class instruction, independent work.
Adapting instructions for aptitude - ANS-When students exhibit different abilities to
learn, provide differentiated assignments to enabled students at different levels.
Adaptive Behavior areas (3) - ANS-1. Social Skills
2. Daily Living Skills
3. Communication Skills
Adductor - ANS-Keeps legs together
Aesthetic Needs - ANS-Being or higher-level needs. Include the appreciation of--and
search for--beauty, order and form.
Aesthetic reading - ANS-Reading for pleasure.
Affective Domain - ANS-One of Blooms three major domains: refers to values, interests,
attitudes, and other things we associate with feelings.
Affective Domain - ANS-Values, interests, attitudes and other things we associate with
feelings.
Affricate - ANS-Stopping of airflow.
Alcohol - ANS-Most used and abused drug.
Alcoholism - ANS-The most widespread drug addiction. Untreated, it can lead to death.
All of the following are components of formal psychological testing of intellectual abiltiies
EXCEPT
(a)CAT scan
(b) norm-referenced tests
(c) observations of the child
(d) interviews with parents - ANS-Norm-referenced tests are a good indicator of
intellectual ability. However, children from some cultural backgrounds, non-English
speaking students, and students from families with a very low socioeconomic status are
more likely to perform poorly on these tests. Therefore, observations of the child and
interviews with the parents are integrated with the norm-referenced test results. A CAT
scan may be useful for determining causation of the disability in some cases, but it
would not help to determine the intellectual ability of the child.
