How much children are expected to learn in a year

Phonological awareness can best be described as:

A child's ability to hear the individual sounds within a spoken word

A child's ability to describe what letters typically represent different sounds in words and to apply them in sounding out written words

A child's knowledge that people who speak different dialects may pronounce the same word differently

A child's ability to distinguish between words that sound similar but have different meanings

Which one of the following statements best reflects Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence?

Intelligent behavior is a function of how well people draw on prior experiences and cognitively process information in order to adapt to a new situation.

To be truly intelligent, one must show competence in creativity and social skills as well as in traditional academic tasks.

Intelligence is due to heredity, environment, and a complex interaction between the two; ultimately, researchers can never disentangle the effects of these factors.

Intelligent behavior evolves in three stages: concrete thought, abstract thought, and automatization.

Which one of the following conditions is most likely to help children learn from a discovery learning activity?

Having some prior knowledge about the material being explored

Making sure children always remain in equilibrium

Having an abstract overview of the discovery session ahead of time

Having freedom to explore one's environment without any structure or restraint

Which of the following can teachers do that will be most likely to encourage self-regulated learning?

Give children frequent opportunities to set goals.

Give children regular homework assignments.

Give children frequent feedback.

Give children praise for work that is done well.

Which one of the following statements best describes a nativist perspective of child development?

Children are naturally disposed to think about their environment in particular ways; in a sense, some basic knowledge about the world is "pre-wired."

Children actively construct their own view of the world from their experiences with the environment.

Initially, children unconsciously develop a rather complex and confused view of the world, but this view becomes simpler and more straightforward as time goes on.

Children repeatedly parrot their parents' and teachers' beliefs, eventually adopting these beliefs as their own "knowledge."

Which one of the following statements most accurately describes the nature of knowledge transforming in a child's writing?

It reveals a child's attempt to help the reader truly understand the ideas that the child is trying to communicate.

It reveals a youngster's ability to form opinions based on factual information, rather than just to recall undisputed facts.

It reflects a child's ability to engage in abstract thinking and scientific reasoning.

It is an intentional effort to evoke visual imagery in the reader. Previous PageNext Page

Imagine that you give 5-year-old Richard a simple arithmetic problem. "I have two toy soldiers in my hand," you tell him and show him the soldiers you are holding. "But there are also three toy soldiers over there on the table," you say and point to additional soldiers across the room. "If I put all of the toy soldiers in a basket, how many would I have altogether?" How is Richard most likely to respond to the problem?

He is likely to use his fingers to try to solve the problem.

He is likely to pause for a few seconds and then say, "Five."

He is likely to give you a puzzled expression, as 5-year-olds have virtually no understanding of the process of addition.

He is likely to conclude that the larger number of soldiers–in this case, three–is the correct answer.

With the textbook's discussion of geography development in mind, choose the alternative that is most likely to give children in the lower elementary grades difficulty when they try to interpret maps.

They don't completely understand that a map is a symbolic representation.

They confuse the symbols for roads versus rivers.

They have insufficient awareness of diverse cultures.

They haven't traveled enough to be able to imagine different topographies and climates.

Which one of the following teaching strategies is consistent with the textbook's discussion of children's mathematical development?

Making sure that children know why procedures work as well as how to use them

Making sure that children have acquired most of the characteristics of Piaget's formal operations stage before they begin to solve problems

Teaching tricks such as "When you see the word less in a problem, you should subtract"

Having children practice procedures in isolation before applying them to real-life situations

Which one of the following statements is most accurate about a typical 5-year-old child's understanding of numbers and/or counting?

Most 5-year-olds know that when you count a group of objects, you should count each object in the group once and only once.

Most 5-year-olds do not yet know that a group of objects has the same number of objects regardless of the order in which the objects are counted.

Most 5-year-olds can neither add nor subtract because they have not yet been taught addition and subtraction in school.

Most 5-year-olds have already had enough experience adding and subtracting objects in their own lives that further work with concrete objects isn't necessary.

Many children from low-income homes have considerable exposure to books and other printed matter long before they begin school. Some, however, do not, and so they come to school with few of the "basics" (knowledge of alphabet letters, familiarity with common storylines, etc.) upon which to build as they learn to read. As these children progress through the school grades, they are most likely to:

Fall further and further behind their peers in reading ability

Catch up to their peers by second grade

Catch up to their peers by fifth grade if their teachers regularly praise them for their progress in reading

Catch up to their peers by fifth grade

Research indicates that a major advantage of giving children multiple experiences with books during the preschool years is that they:

Learn to read more easily once they begin school

Develop greater awareness of syllables than they would otherwise

Usually learn to read on their own before they reach school age

Develop more advanced visual-spatial skills

The primary reason that educators in many countries have developed content-area standards to guide instruction is that:

Children make good progress when teachers provide a consistent structure to the curriculum.

Laws like the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 require that states and/or countries establish standards for reading, mathematics, and science.

The order in which children progress academically tends to follow universal principles.

Standards encourage teachers to spend more time on basics of literacy, math, and science and less time on more tangential topics.

Three of the following statements about the effects of heredity and/or environment on intelligence are accurate. Which one is not accurate?

Some toxic substances in children's homes or neighborhoods can adversely affect their cognitive development.

Children tend to get higher IQ scores when they attend school regularly.

Biologists working in the Human Genome Project have recently identified the chromosome that carries the "intelligence" gene.

On average, children's performance on intelligence tests has risen around the world, suggesting that improvements in environmental conditions enhance IQ.

One of the primary reasons that researchers have concerns about the use of intelligence tests to predict children's academic achievement is that:

Intelligence is not a one-dimensional characteristic that one test can adequately measure

No established test really assesses the most important component of intelligence

Intelligence tests have historically been used for questionable purposes

Answer 4 of 4 text Edit Answer 4 of 4 text Intelligence and academic achievement are not correlated

With the help of three teacher aides, a kindergarten teacher gives her students a school readiness test on the first day of class. Given what we know about such tests, which one of the following is the best thing to do with the test results?

Enroll all children in kindergarten and use the results to form tentative hypotheses about where it would be best to begin instruction for each child.

Suggest to the principal that low-scoring children be placed in a more intensive "pre-kindergarten" class; these children would then return to kindergarten the following year.

Suggest to the principal that high-scoring children be placed in first grade.

Meet with the parents of low-scoring children to ask them to consider placing their children in preschool or Head Start for the year.

Which one of the following is the best example of dynamic assessment?

Mr. Warren observes and records how Minnie's logical thinking changes over time as she gets assistance and experience in scientific reasoning tasks.

Ms. Vincenti gives her students 20 multiple-choice questions; she then gives 20 additional, more difficult questions to students who've done very well on the first set, as a way of assessing the upper limits of their knowledge.

Mr. Thiessen asks Macy to show him how to use a microscope properly.

Ms. Ursinas asks her students to work in groups of three to write a paper describing the effects of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

If you are concerned about the validity of an intelligence test, which one of the following questions would you be most likely to ask?

Does this test really measure intellectual ability?

Does this test rely heavily on language skills?

How much training do I need to administer and interpret this test?

Do children tend to get similar scores on the test from one time to the next?

Lily is ten years old. She gets a score of 97 on an IQ test. What does this tell us about her intellectual ability?

Lily's score is fairly average for her age group.

Lily must be a very smart girl, because 100 is a perfect score.

Lily is brighter than two-thirds of her age-mates, as IQ scores go up to about 150.

Lily's score is in the bottom fifth of the population.

Which one of the following is a correct interpretation of a student's IQ score of 115?

The student performed better on an intelligence test than the majority of students of the same age.

Answer 1 of 4 text Edit Answer 1 of 4 text The student may qualify for an IEP.

The student's test performance is in the bottom fifth of the population.

The student performed lower on an intelligence test than the majority of students of the same age.

Which one of the following is a true statement about IQ scores?

Scores near 100 indicate average performance.

They are derived from comparisons with the test performance of others within a three year range.

They are calculated from this formula: (CA/MA) x 100.

They are calculated from this formula: (MA/CA) x 100.

The original purpose of intelligence tests is still their main purpose today–that is, to:

Identify children who may require special services or interventions

Predict how well youngsters are likely to perform in various professional careers

Assess youngsters' ability to solve abstract problems

Measure people's innate ability to adapt to a complex environment

Mariana teaches in a classroom of students whose parents are diplomats, so the students come to the United States after living and attending school in different countries around the world. One student in particular seems to have difficulty on classroom tests and assignments. The most useful first step for Mariana to take is to:

Meet with the student and his or her parents to learn more about the child's past educational experiences

Meet with the school psychologist and have the student tested for a disability

Allow the student to pick up where he or she left off in the previous curriculum

Review the students' records to identify his IQ score

Sam is a very talented dancer; he also shows considerable creativity in art class. He finds math and science classes very difficult, but he loves to read and tell stories to his many friends. Which view of intelligence is best reflected in Sam's abilities?

Gardner's multiple intelligences

Piaget's theory of cognitive development

Different theorists conceptualize intelligence differently, but most agree that intelligence:

Involves many different cognitive processes

Is an entity quite separate and distinct from learning ability

Is largely the result of inherited abilities

Is almost exclusively a function of accumulated knowledge

Three of the following students are showing signs of self-regulated learning. Which student does not show any evidence of self-regulated learning?

Craig beams with pleasure when his teacher praises his English essay, because her opinion of his work is very important to him.

Drew thinks to himself, "Tonight I'll skim the reading assignment in history just to get a general idea of what the chapter's all about. Tomorrow I'll read it again in more depth."

As Adam studies his German vocabulary words, he occasionally stops to check himself to see which words he needs to study further.

Blake knows that for purposes of college admission, his performance in math class is more important than his performance in drama class, so he works harder in the first class than in the second.

Considering developmental trends in learning strategies, choose the statement that best characterizes how kindergartners are apt to approach school learning tasks.

They make few if any intentional efforts to learn and remember something.

They construct vivid visual and auditory images of what they see and hear in the classroom.

They continually put things into categories to help them remember those things.

They make mental lists of things to remember, but with little follow-through in studying the lists.

Which one of the following is the best illustration of metacognition?

Connie is studying for a history test. She knows that she has trouble with dates, so she checks herself by giving herself a short quiz after each chapter.

Dolly is preparing to take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), so she checks out an SAT preparation book from the local library and reads it from cover to cover.

Andrea is studying for a spelling test. She writes each spelling word five times in her nicest handwriting.
