    Public Law 94-142 _____.

    • Provides federal funds for lengthening the school day

    • Protects youth against sexual discrimination and abuse

    • Mandates the empowerment of teachers for school decision making

    • Provides for the placement of exceptional children in the regular classroom for a designated period of time

    Correct Answer
    A. Provides for the placement of exceptional children in the regular classroom for a designated period of time
    Explanation
    Public Law 94-142 provides for the placement of exceptional children in the regular classroom for a designated period of time. This means that under this law, students with disabilities are entitled to receive their education in a regular classroom setting, alongside their non-disabled peers, for a specific period determined by their individual needs. This law ensures that students with disabilities have access to the same educational opportunities as their peers and promotes inclusion and integration in the school system.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Your way of knowing and processing information is called your

    • Learning style

    • Learning modality

    • Brainhemisphericity

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Learning style
    Explanation
    The term "learning style" refers to an individual's preferred way of acquiring and processing information. It encompasses various factors such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning preferences. This term is commonly used in educational settings to understand how students learn best and to tailor teaching methods accordingly. Learning modality and brainhemisphericity are not accurate terms to describe an individual's way of knowing and processing information. Therefore, the correct answer is "learning style."

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Students identified as _____ are not covered by PL 94-142.

    • Mentally retarded

    • Gifted and talented

    • Visually handicapped

    • Orthopedically impaired

    Correct Answer
    A. Gifted and talented
    Explanation
    Students identified as gifted and talented are not covered by PL 94-142. This is because PL 94-142, also known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, focuses on providing special education services and protections to students with disabilities. Students who are identified as gifted and talented do not fall under the category of having a disability, but rather possess exceptional abilities or talents. Therefore, they are not covered by this legislation and may receive different educational services and support.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The theory of multiple intelligences evolved from the mind and work of

    • Maria Montessori

    • Howard Gardner

    • John Gardner

    • Jean Piaget

    Correct Answer
    A. Howard Gardner
    Explanation
    The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Howard Gardner. He proposed that intelligence is not a single, fixed entity, but rather a combination of various different abilities or intelligences. According to Gardner, there are eight different types of intelligences, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This theory has had a significant impact on education, as it suggests that individuals may excel in different areas and have unique strengths and learning styles.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The instruction of special education students must be based on a written

    • CBI

    • IEP

    • LRE

    • LEP

    • 4MAT

    Correct Answer
    A. IEP
    Explanation
    The instruction of special education students must be based on a written Individualized Education Program (IEP). An IEP is a legal document that outlines the specific educational goals and services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual student with disabilities. It includes information about the student's current performance, annual goals, accommodations, modifications, and related services. The IEP is developed collaboratively by a team of professionals, including teachers, parents, and specialists, to ensure that the student receives appropriate and effective instruction to support their learning and development.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The teaching strategy where different students are working at different tasks to accomplish the sameobjective or are working at different tasks to accomplish different objectives is called

    • Looping

    • Inclusive instruction

    • Multilevel instruction

    • Teacher-centered instruction

    Correct Answer
    A. Multilevel instruction
    Explanation
    Multilevel instruction is the teaching strategy where different students are working at different tasks to accomplish the same objective or are working at different tasks to accomplish different objectives. This approach recognizes that students have different learning needs and abilities, and it allows for differentiation and individualization in the classroom. By providing tasks at different levels of complexity or with different goals, teachers can meet the diverse needs of their students and promote a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

    Historically, teaching and learning in the U.S. has favored

    • Verbal learning

    • Deductive learning

    • Logical and rational thinking

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all the above" because historically, teaching and learning in the U.S. has favored verbal learning, which involves using language and words to understand and remember information. It has also favored deductive learning, which involves using reasoning and logic to draw conclusions and solve problems. Additionally, it has favored logical and rational thinking, which emphasizes the use of reason and evidence to make decisions and understand concepts.

  • 9. 

    The term inclusion has largely replaced the earlier term of

    • Looping

    • Tracking

    • Multitasking

    • Matecognition

    • Main streaming

    Correct Answer
    A. Main streaming
    Explanation
    The term inclusion has largely replaced the earlier term of mainstreaming. Mainstreaming refers to the practice of integrating students with disabilities into regular education classrooms and providing them with appropriate support and accommodations. Inclusion, on the other hand, goes beyond mainstreaming by promoting a more comprehensive and holistic approach to education, focusing on creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. Therefore, main streaming is the correct answer as it has been replaced by the term inclusion.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What Piaget called reflective abstraction is referred to today as

    • Multitasking

    • Equilibration

    • Metacognition

    • Enactive representation

    Correct Answer
    A. Metacognition
    Explanation
    Piaget's concept of reflective abstraction refers to the ability to think about and reflect on one's own thinking processes. This involves being aware of one's own thoughts, knowledge, and strategies, and being able to monitor and regulate one's cognitive processes. Metacognition is the term used today to describe this ability. It encompasses the awareness and understanding of one's own cognitive abilities, as well as the ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate one's own thinking and learning. Therefore, metacognition is the most appropriate term to describe what Piaget referred to as reflective abstraction.

  • 11. 

    An LRE, or “least restrictive environment,” means _____.

    • Classrooms without walls

    • Special education classrooms for disabled students

    • Including disabled children in a regular education classroom

    • Providing a learning environment that is best suited for the individual needs of students

    Correct Answer
    A. Providing a learning environment that is best suited for the individual needs of students
    Explanation
    An LRE, or "least restrictive environment," refers to providing a learning environment that is best suited for the individual needs of students. This means that students with disabilities are included in a regular education classroom rather than being placed in special education classrooms. It emphasizes creating an inclusive setting where all students can receive appropriate support and accommodations to meet their unique learning needs. This approach promotes equal opportunities and encourages the integration and participation of students with disabilities in the general education setting.

    Learning by touch is using the ___ modality

    • Visual

    • Tactile

    • Auditory

    • Kinesthetic

    • Metacognition

    Correct Answer
    A. Tactile
    Explanation
    Learning by touch refers to the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through physical contact with objects or surfaces. This modality is known as tactile, as it involves the sense of touch. Through tactile learning, individuals can gain a better understanding of texture, shape, and other physical properties of the objects they interact with, enhancing their overall learning experience.

  • 13. 

    A constructivist view of teaching and learning

    • Emphasizes the importance of covering the content

    • Is irrelevant for teaching the diversity of students in today’s schools

    • Emphasizes the importance of preassessing the learner’s understandings

    • Relies less on using manipulatives and more on the facts of the subject matter

    Correct Answer
    A. Emphasizes the importance of preassessing the learner’s understandings
    Explanation
    The constructivist view of teaching and learning emphasizes the importance of preassessing the learner's understandings. This means that before teaching new content, it is important to assess what the students already know and understand about the topic. This allows the teacher to tailor their instruction to meet the individual needs of the students and build upon their prior knowledge. By preassessing, teachers can identify any misconceptions or knowledge gaps that may exist and address them before introducing new information. This approach promotes a student-centered learning environment and helps to ensure that all students have a solid foundation for learning.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of the following four types of learners is most likely to do well in a traditional classroom?

    • Analytic learner

    • Dynamic learner

    • Imaginative learner

    • Common sense learner

    Correct Answer
    A. Analytic learner
    Explanation
    An analytic learner is most likely to do well in a traditional classroom because they excel at critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. They prefer structured and organized learning environments where they can analyze information, break it down into smaller parts, and understand the underlying principles. Traditional classrooms typically provide a systematic approach to learning with clear objectives, textbooks, and lectures, which align well with the preferences and strengths of analytic learners. They thrive in environments that emphasize facts, data, and evidence-based learning, which are commonly found in traditional classroom settings.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which of the following ways of knowing is least consistent with traditional methods of instruction?

    • Intrapersonal

    • Verbal/linguistic

    • Bodily/kinesthetic

    • Logical/mathematical

    Correct Answer
    A. Bodily/kinesthetic
    Explanation
    The bodily/kinesthetic way of knowing is least consistent with traditional methods of instruction because it emphasizes physical movement, hands-on activities, and experiential learning. Traditional methods of instruction often rely on verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical ways of knowing, such as lectures, reading, and problem-solving. In contrast, bodily/kinesthetic learning involves physical engagement and manipulation of objects, which may not align with the more passive and cognitive nature of traditional instruction methods.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which one of the following is not a sensory channel through which learners receive and retain information?

    • Eyes

    • Ears

    • Skin

    • Cerebral hemispheres

    Correct Answer
    A. Cerebral hemispheres
    Explanation
    The cerebral hemispheres are not a sensory channel through which learners receive and retain information. The cerebral hemispheres are responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving, rather than directly receiving sensory input. The eyes, ears, and skin, on the other hand, are sensory channels through which learners receive and retain information. The eyes process visual information, the ears process auditory information, and the skin processes tactile information.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

     Using student interaction as a viable teaching strategy is consistent with a learning theory that assumes that the learner’s development is not entirely fixed by genetics or completely controlled by external environmental factors. Such a teaching technique is consistent with the psychology of

    • Jean Piaget

    • Jerome Bruner

    • Lev Vygotsky

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all the above" because all three psychologists, Jean Piaget, Jerome Bruner, and Lev Vygotsky, have emphasized the importance of student interaction in the learning process. They believe that learners construct their own knowledge through active engagement with their environment and social interactions. This perspective suggests that genetics and external factors are not the sole determinants of a learner's development, but rather, that their interactions with others play a crucial role in shaping their understanding and cognitive growth.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Regarding Piaget’s three-phase learning cycle, which of the following is least like the others?

    • Direct learning

    • Exploratory phase

    • Hands-on learning

    • Expository teaching

    Correct Answer
    A. Expository teaching
    Explanation
    Expository teaching is least like the others because it involves a teacher-centered approach where information is presented in a lecture-style format, with the teacher being the primary source of knowledge. In contrast, direct learning, exploratory phase, and hands-on learning all involve more active and student-centered approaches to learning, where students are actively engaged in the learning process and are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover knowledge on their own.

    Rate this question:

    The Triarchic Theory of metaphors of the mind and intelligence is a result of the work of

    • Jean Piaget

    • R. J. Sternberg

    • Howard Gardner

    • Bernice McCarthy

    Correct Answer
    A. R. J. Sternberg
    Explanation
    The Triarchic Theory of metaphors of the mind and intelligence is a result of the work of R. J. Sternberg. This theory suggests that intelligence is composed of three aspects: analytical intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence. Sternberg's theory challenges traditional views of intelligence and emphasizes the importance of multiple forms of intelligence.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Gardner’s “theory of multiple intelligences” describes a number of “learning capacities,” and is             Based on the earlier work of

    • Carl Jung

    • Jean Piaget

    • Jerome Bruner

    • Bernice McCarthy

    Correct Answer
    A. Jerome Bruner
    Explanation
    Jerome Bruner is the correct answer because his work aligns with Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Bruner's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the importance of active learning and the role of the learner in constructing knowledge. This aligns with Gardner's belief that intelligence is not a singular entity, but rather a collection of different learning capacities. Both Bruner and Gardner advocate for a more holistic and individualized approach to education, which makes Bruner a suitable choice as the basis for Gardner's theory.
