    Correct Answer
    C. Advance organizer
    Explanation
    According to Ausubel, an advance organizer is an instructional tool that can be used to strengthen students' cognitive structure. An advance organizer is a framework or structure that provides an overview of the upcoming learning material, highlighting the main concepts and relationships. It helps students to connect new information with their existing knowledge, facilitating a deeper understanding and retention of the material. By using advance organizers, teachers can provide a clear roadmap for learning, helping students to organize and integrate new information into their existing cognitive structure.

    Thorndike's law of effect state that a connection between stimulus and response is strengthen when the consequence is _________________________.

    • A.

      Repeated

    • B.

      Negative

    • C.

      Pleasurable

    • D.

      Positive

    Correct Answer
    D. Positive
    Explanation
    Thorndike's law of effect states that a connection between stimulus and response is strengthened when the consequence is positive. This means that when a behavior is followed by a positive consequence or reward, it is more likely to be repeated in the future. Positive consequences can include things like praise, rewards, or any outcome that is pleasurable or desirable to the individual.

  • 5. 

    Who is a major contributor to the development of the behaviorist theory?

    • A.

      Vygotsky

    • B.

      Pavlov

    • C.

      Erikson

    • D.

      Kohberg

    Correct Answer
    B. Pavlov
    Explanation
    Pavlov is a major contributor to the development of the behaviorist theory. He conducted experiments on dogs, where he conditioned them to associate a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) with a reflex response (such as salivating). This led to the development of the concept of classical conditioning, which is a fundamental principle in behaviorism. Pavlov's work laid the foundation for understanding how behavior can be influenced and shaped through conditioning and reinforcement, which is central to the behaviorist theory.

    I like to show a close representation of the size and shape of the earth and materials existing in the environment. Hence, teachers are encouraged to use_________________.

    • A.

      Rating

    • B.

      Observation technique

    • D.

      Authentic assessment

    Correct Answer
    D. Authentic assessment
    Explanation
    Authentic assessment is encouraged for teachers to use because it allows for a more accurate representation of the size and shape of the earth and materials in the environment. Unlike a pencil-and-paper test, which may only assess theoretical knowledge, authentic assessment involves real-world tasks and scenarios that require students to demonstrate their understanding in a practical context. This approach provides a closer representation of the skills and knowledge that students will need to apply in real-life situations, making it a more effective and meaningful form of assessment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Reading of journal entries
    Explanation
    Reading of journal entries is an appropriate assessment tool for assessing the development of learning in the affective domain because journal entries provide insights into the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes of the learners. By reading their journal entries, educators can gain a deeper understanding of the learners' emotional and social development, their values, beliefs, and attitudes towards learning. Journal entries allow learners to reflect on their experiences, express their emotions, and make connections between their learning and their personal lives. This assessment tool helps educators assess the affective domain by capturing the learners' internal processes and their growth in areas such as empathy, self-awareness, and motivation.

Concept maps are graphical tools that visually represent relationships between concepts or ideas. They help learners organize and connect their existing knowledge with new information, making it easier for them to understand and remember new concepts. By using concept maps, learners can see the big picture and identify the relationships between different concepts, enhancing their learning experience.

Through a demonstration, the teacher can showcase the proper use and operation of the equipment, allowing students to observe and learn from the practical application. This method is effective in providing a visual and hands-on experience, enhancing understanding and retention of the subject matter. Additionally, demonstrations allow students to ask questions and clarify any doubts, promoting active engagement and interaction in the learning process.

    A. A.Thorndikes
    Explanation
    Thorndike is the foremost believer that "intelligence is a function of the number of successful S-R connection learned." This means that according to Thorndike, intelligence is determined by the number of associations or connections a person has formed between a specific stimulus and a specific response. In other words, the more successful connections a person has learned, the more intelligent they are considered to be. This perspective aligns with Thorndike's theory of connectionism, which emphasizes the importance of learning through trial and error and the formation of associations between stimuli and responses.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1,11, and 111
    Explanation
    Assessment serves three important purposes: diagnosis, effectiveness of a program, and placement.

    Diagnosis refers to the process of identifying students' strengths and weaknesses in order to provide targeted instruction and support. It helps teachers understand where students are struggling and what interventions may be necessary.

    Assessing the effectiveness of a program allows educators to determine if the instructional methods and strategies being used are helping students meet their learning goals. This information can be used to make necessary adjustments and improvements to the program.

    Placement assessments are used to determine the appropriate educational setting for students. This could include determining which grade level or class a student should be placed in, or identifying if additional support services are needed.

    Therefore, the important purposes of assessment are diagnosis, effectiveness of a program, and placement.

    A teacher-made test given at the end of the lesson to find out if the objective has been attained can be classified as a norm-referenced test. This type of test compares an individual's performance to the performance of a group or norm group. In this case, the teacher is comparing the students' performance to a predetermined standard or average, which is typically based on the performance of a larger population. The purpose of a norm-referenced test is to rank students and determine their relative standing compared to others.

    Correct Answer
    C. Very easy
    Explanation
    The difficulty index of a test item indicates how many test-takers answered the question correctly. The scale generally ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 means no one answered correctly, indicating extreme difficulty, and 1 means everyone answered correctly, indicating it's very easy. A difficulty index of 1 suggests that the test item was very easy, as all participants could answer it correctly. In contrast, a lower index indicates increasing difficulty, with an index of 0.5 suggesting that half of the test-takers got it right and the other half didn't. Thus, a difficulty index of 1 indicates a very easy question or test item.
