Question 1
pts
As a first-grade teacher reads a book about penguins in Antarctica, she points to Antarctica on a globe. Six-
year-old John seems really puzzled. "How come they don't fall off the Earth?" he asks. From Piaget's
perspective, which one of the following is definitely true for John?
He is undergoing equilibration.
He is experiencing disequilibrium.
The idea that penguins could live on the "upside-down" part of the Earth causes some degree of mental
discomfort for John.
He has an underdeveloped schema for penguins.
He is accommodating when he should be assimilating.
,Question 2
pts
Which one of the following alternatives is the best example of differentiated instruction?
, Recognizing that his students are at different levels in their reading skills, a fourth-grade teacher gives each student reading
assignments appropriate for his or her current reading level.
This teacher is clearly individualizing instruction to accommodate students' individual abilities and needs.
As a result of a serious childhood illness, 16-year-old Ava has partial hearing loss: She cannot hear spoken language as well as
her classmates can. Accordingly, her biology teacher speaks quite loudly whenever he gives whole-class lectures.
Suspecting that some of her students learn best by hearing things while other students learn best by seeing things, a middle
school French teacher makes sure that she presents new vocabulary words both by pronouncing them very clearly and by
writing them on the board.
Knowing that a few of his students spend considerable time caring for younger siblings when they get home from school each
day, a middle school teacher never insists that any of his students turn in homework assignments the day after he has given
them the assignments. Instead, students always have at least three days to turn in assigned homework tasks.
Question 3
pts
Which one of the following teachers is using reciprocal teaching?
Mr. Trudeau has students work in pairs to test each other's knowledge about a topic.
When students ask questions about things they don't understand, Ms. Kowalski asks if classmates can answer those
questions before she answers them herself.
Before a test, Ms. Sokilov has each student describe the strategies he or she plans to use while studying for it.
Working with a small group, Mr. Russo gives each student a chance to ask questions of other group members regarding a
section of text they are reading.
In reciprocal teaching, students ask one another questions about what they are reading. If this were a true
reciprocal teaching session, Mr. Russo would have begun by modeling four kinds of questions: those that
required a student to (a) summarize main ideas, (b) pose a question to check other students' comprehension,
(c) take steps to clarify a potentially confusing point, or (d) predict what might be coming next in a reading
passage. At this point in the scenario, Mr. Russo is asking students to ask one another the kinds of questions
he has previously modeled. Reciprocal teaching has been shown to significantly enhance students' reading
comprehension strategies.
Question 4
pts
Emilia is shown two piles of sand and says that each pile has the same amount. However, when one pile is
flattened with a shovel, she now claims emphatically that the flattened pile has less sand. Based on this
information, Piaget would conclude that Emilia is probably in which one of the following stages of cognitive
development?
Preoperational stage
Emilia shows a lack of conservation, something that is typical for a child at the preoperational stage.
Formal operations stage
Concrete operations stage
