Three of the following are definitely examples of scaffolding. Identify the situation in which no scaffolding is described.
 
  a. Ms. Andrews likes to challenge her students by giving them group research projects. She puts her students in groups of three or four students each, and she gives each student a topic to research. She sends the groups to the school library to find out as much as they can about their topic, and then has each group give a report to the entire class.
  b. Mr. Bender is teaching a unit on beginning tennis. In the early stages of teaching a correct tennis swing, he uses an automatic ball server that serves balls with consistent speed, height, and direction. He also continually reminds students to Keep your eye on the ball and Hold your arm straight. Later in the unit he begins to serve the balls himself, varying the speed, height, and direction of the serves. And he begins to taper off his reminders about what to do.
  c. Ms. Carrera helps students solve math word problems by providing visual illustrations of the elements of the problem and by showing them models (i.e., similar problems that have been worked out correctly). As the weeks go by, she provides fewer and fewer visual illustrations and fewer and fewer model problems, until eventually the students can solve the problems without either form of assistance.
  d. Mr. Donaldson's students are just beginning to learn how to take notes in class. For the first few weeks Mr. D. begins class by handing out a detailed outline about the topic for the day. By December he is handing out an outline covering only the main points of the day, encouraging students to fill in the blank spaces on the sheet with ideas relative to each point. By May students are writing down main points and relevant details on their own.

Ques. 2

The premise of the I message approach is that the teacher's authority and ability to punish students should be used as a powerful discipline technique.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Ques. 3

School violence is most likely in small schools located in high crime areas, in schools with weak administrators, and in schools with a high percentage of male students.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Ques. 4

Many theorists believe that people have an innate predisposition to learn language. Three of the following provide sources of evidence that these theorists use to support their belief. Which one is not used to support an inherited predisposition to learn language?
 
  a. Young infants seem to prefer listening to human voices over other kinds of sounds.
  b. Children acquire increasingly larger and more sophisticated vocabularies as they grow older.
  c. Children tend to learn certain aspects of a language more easily when they are exposed to it at a young age.
  d. Children tend to acquire many complexities of their first language that are unnecessary for day-to-day communication.

Ques. 5

In a token reinforcement system, an agreement between the teacher and each individual student regarding the exact goal the student must accomplish in order to earn a reward.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Ques. 6

Which one of the following examples most clearly illustrates a cognitive apprenticeship?
 
  a. A junior high school English class is reading Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. At the end of each verse, the teacher describes the visual images and feelings that the poem elicits for him, and he encourages his students to do likewise.
  b. An elementary school teacher gives his students lots of practice doing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems so that they will be able to solve word problems more effectively later in the school year.
  c. In a high school chemistry lab, a teacher clearly describes the steps she expects her students to complete as they conduct the day's laboratory experiment. She also lists the things that students should do when they clean up after the experiment.
  d. A middle school physical education teacher puts her students in pairs as they practice their forward and backward rolls. She asks the students in each pair to observe each other and give each other feedback about how to improve.

Ques. 7

The situations in which a group consequence system works best are those in which students are motivated to retain the approval of their peers.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Ques. 8

Over __________ states require standardized tests as part of their annual assessment of students.
 
  a. 20
  b. 35
  c. 40
  d. 45
