TL6 ALL 100 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS1) The "art vs. science" issue in teaching is probably best answered by the statement that teaching
requires
A) learned skills and creativity.
B) imagination and, therefore, is an art.
C) the ability to learn and apply specific rules.
D) the use of scientific methods.
1A
Like medicine, teaching requires a combination of learned skills and creativity. Thus, teaching is
considered to be both an art and a science.
2) A case study is an investigation of
A) people from one geographic area.
B) one person or group over a specific period of time.
C) a small group of people with similar backgrounds.
D) different groups of people over a period of time.
2B
Case studies involve an intensive examination of real-life contexts (such as schools or classrooms)
through direct observations, biographical data, school records, test results, peer ratings, and a wide
variety of other observational tools. The researcher would investigate one person or a group of people
intensively over a relatively long period of time.
3) Reflective teachers are best described by the following phrase:
A) thoughtful and inventive.
B) maintaining class discipline.
C) use of scientific methods.
D) adapt instruction and assessment to students’ needs.
3A
Reflective teachers think back over situations to analyse what they did and why and to consider how
they might improve learning for their students.
4) According to the law No Child Left Behind
A) research is not important for improving schools.
B) initial hypotheses about education which have not been tested can still improve educational
practices.
C) mandates all teachers must conduct a research project on an annual basis.
D) schools who receive federal funds must be consistent with "scientifically based research."
4D
According to NCLBA scientifically based research based on rigorous research can produce
valid and reliable results for improving education.
5) A positive correlation between two factors indicates that the factors
A) are NOT necessarily related.
B) are strongly related.
C) decrease proportionately.
D) tend to increase or decrease together.
5D
A positive correlation indicates that two factors increase or decrease together. As one
increases so does the other; as one decreases so does the other. Therefore, the two factors
for a positive correlation vary in the same direction. If the correlation is negative, one factor
increases while the other factor decreases.
, 6) Use of the "common as sense" approach to teaching is viewed by educational psychologists
A) inappropriate unless supported by research.
B) appropriate in most circumstances.
C) more reliable than scientific judgments.
D) the main factor that differentiates experts from novices.
6A Educational psychologists view the "common sense" approach to teaching as inappropriate or
potentially misleading unless supported by research. As illustrated by the examples in the textbook,
common sense ideas often do not work in the expected manner when applied in classrooms.
7) Which one of the following is an example of maturation?
A) Losing weight due to exercise.
B) Gaining weight from age two to age three.
C) Losing weight during a brief illness.
D) Learning which foods produce the most weight.
7B
Maturation refers to changes that occur naturally and spontaneously rather than as a result of
environmental circumstances. An example would be gaining weight from age two to age three.
[Note: losing weight due to illness or exercise is not a natural occurrence, but one that is caused by
particular environmental events.]
8)A correlation study indicates that teachers' interest in teaching and the amount of the
day their students are engaged in learning correlate at +0.46. This coefficient would indicate that
A) as teacher interest decreases, engaged time increases.
B) as teacher interest increases, engaged time tends to increase.
C) interest in teaching leads to a large increase in engaged time.
D) there is virtually NO relationship between the two variables.
8B
The +0.46 correlation coefficient suggests a moderately strong positive relationship between teaching
interest and engaged time. Teachers who have more interest in teaching tend to have students who
are more engaged in learning, and vice versa.
9)The last part of the brain to develop fully is the
A) cerebellum.
B) cerebral cortex.
C) thalamus.
D) frontal lobe.
9D
The last section of the brain to develop fully is the frontal lobe in the cerebral cortex.
10)Ethnography is an investigation of
A) life within a group and tries to understand the meaning of events to the people involved.
B) a small group of people with similar backgrounds.
C) a group of people over a specific period of time.
D) people from one geographic area.
10A
A descriptive approach to research that focuses on life within a group and tries to understand the
meaning of events to the people involved.
11)Axons transmit
A) information to muscles, glands, or other neurons.
B) information to blood cells.
C) information to the neuron cells themselves.
D) information to the heart and lungs.
11A
Axons transmit information to muscles, glands, or other neurons.
