Which of the following instructional media is more ABSTRACT for teaching and learning?
- A.
Graphs and drawings
- B.
Flat pictures
- C.
Models
- D.
Television
Correct Answer
A. GrapHs and drawingsExplanation
Graphs and drawings are more abstract instructional media for teaching and learning because they represent information using symbols, lines, and shapes, which require interpretation and understanding of the underlying concepts. They often depict complex relationships and data, which may not be immediately obvious or easily grasped by learners. In contrast, flat pictures and models provide more concrete representations that are closer to reality and can be easily understood without extensive interpretation. Television, on the other hand, is a non-visual media that presents information in a more dynamic and engaging manner, but it is not inherently abstract like graphs and drawings.Rate this question:

Which of the following instructional media functions the MOST in terms of its degree of concreteness?
- A.
Maps
- B.
Flat pictures
- C.
Models
- D.
Radio
Correct Answer
D. RadioExplanation
Radio is the most abstract instructional media out of the options given. Unlike maps, flat pictures, and models, radio does not provide a visual representation or physical object for learners to interact with. Instead, it relies solely on auditory cues and verbal descriptions to convey information. This lack of visual or physical elements makes radio the least concrete option, requiring learners to rely solely on their imagination and listening skills.Rate this question:

By looking at the Dale's Cone of Experience diagram, teachers are guided which methods and instructional materials would best fit the teaching-learning situation. How are experiences arranged in the Cone?
- A.
Degree of difficulty
- B.
Degree of abstraction
Correct Answer
B. Degree of abstractionExplanation
The experiences in the Dale's Cone of Experience are arranged based on the degree of abstraction. This means that the experiences range from concrete and real-life situations at the bottom of the cone to more abstract and symbolic representations at the top. The cone suggests that learners should start with hands-on experiences and gradually move towards more abstract and conceptual understanding. This allows teachers to select appropriate methods and instructional materials based on the level of abstraction required for effective teaching and learning.Rate this question:
