Question 3

In order to help learners with language and related processing challenges: ​
A)pair verbal with visual directions.
B)give extra wait time for processing a response.
C)use techniques like Think-Pair-Share.
D)All of the choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. Pairing verbal with visual directions can help learners who struggle with language processing, giving extra wait time allows learners who need more processing time to formulate a response, and techniques like Think-Pair-Share can help learners with language challenges by enabling them to process ideas with peers and build confidence with the subject matter.

Question 4

Explain how authentic learning helps students become more engaged in the learning process. ​

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain how authentic learning helps students become...

Question 5

An instructional procedure that has been found to be effective with students who need a greater challenge is:
A)reciprocal teaching.
B)curriculum compacting.
C)chunking.
D)shaping.

Accepted Answer

Curriculum compacting is the best choice for students who need a greater challenge. This instructional strategy involves modifying the curriculum for advanced students by allowing them to skip coursework or assessments they have already mastered, and instead providing them with enrichment activities or higher-level tasks. This helps prevent boredom and disengagement, and allows advanced students to be challenged and grow at their own pace.

Question 8

When introducing subtraction, the teacher began by demonstrating the concept with a pile of pennies. She then allowed students to practice with pennies. After students mastered the subtraction concepts using pennies, the teacher moved on to using tally marks as representations. This and other types of "hands on" activities generally work well when teaching students with: ​
A)speech and language impairments.
B)cognitive disabilities.
C)visual impairments.
D)ADHD.

Accepted Answer

Using hands-on activities is an effective method for teaching students with cognitive disabilities as they often struggle with abstract concepts and benefit from concrete examples and manipulatives.

Question 11

The chapter begins with an analogy of how your classroom is, in many ways, like a gym or health club. Summarize the key points you have read in the chapter by describing the ways in which the instructional strategies/interventions you use with your students are analogous to the people described in the opening gym scenario. ​

Accepted Answer

The answer of The chapter begins with an analogy of...

Question 12

All of the following statements about direct instruction are true, EXCEPT: ​
A)it is a mediated scaffolding technique.
B)it is typically used to teach at the acquisition level of learning.
C)when the first letters of the term are capitalized (e.g., Direct Instruction, DI), it refers to a specific, research-based, teaching approach.
D)it is most effective in teaching less structured areas such as reading comprehension and literature analysis.

Accepted Answer

Direct instruction is most effective in teaching structured areas such as basic skills, but may not be as effective in teaching less structured areas such as reading comprehension and literature analysis.

Question 13

Students who may need greater challenges and demonstrate a high degree of interest in a subject could benefit from all of the following, EXCEPT:
A)acceleration.
B)mentorships.
C)working in groups with grade-level peers.
D)internships.

Accepted Answer

Working in groups with grade-level peers may not provide enough challenge for students who demonstrate a high degree of interest in and knowledge of a subject. Acceleration, mentorships, and internships could provide greater challenges and opportunities for growth.

Question 14

__________ is a behavioral technique used to take a close approximation of a desired skill and move it to skill mastery using positive reinforcement.
A)Chaining
B)Task analysis
C)Shaping
D)Prompting

Accepted Answer

Shaping is a behavior modification technique where an initial approximation of the desired behavior is reinforced, and subsequent approximations are required to meet a higher standard before reinforcement is given. This technique is done until the desired level of performance is reached. The key in shaping is to break down goals into manageable steps and to provide positive reinforcement to encourage progress towards mastery.

Question 15

Ensuring that students a)experience a high rate of success, b)have some control over learning new skills, c)feel comfortable and safe in the classroom, and d)are not overly pressured in terms of time are strategies that are particularly helpful for students who have challenges in the _________ learning domains.
A)study skills/organization/test taking
B)social/emotional/motivational
C)physical/motor/sensory
D)speech/language

Accepted Answer

These strategies are particularly helpful for students who have challenges in the social, emotional, and motivational learning domains. They can help to build confidence, promote autonomy and motivation, and create a positive and supportive learning environment. While the other domains may also benefit from these strategies, they are not as directly related to them as the social, emotional, and motivational domains.

Question 16

Discuss the similarities and differences among the major interventions listed in the chapter. ​

Accepted Answer

The answer of Discuss the similarities and differences among the...

Question 17

If a student asks herself/himself "Am I focusing on my work?" at predetermined time intervals then records the response on a card and charts their progress, they are using a:
A)task analysis.
B)self-monitoring strategy.
C)modeling technique.
D)anchored instruction.

Accepted Answer

This is a self-monitoring strategy, where the student is actively monitoring their own behavior and progress towards a goal. They are using a predetermined time interval to check in with themselves and record their progress, which can be used to evaluate their success and make adjustments in the future. This strategy can be effective for improving focus and productivity.

Question 18

How can you help a student for whom organization, study, and test-taking skills pose a challenge? ​

Accepted Answer

The answer of How can you help a student for...

Question 19

If a student is struggling to learn a particular skill and the teacher breaks the skill down into sequential steps to determine what parts the student knows and/or where the student needs more instruction or practice, the teacher is using which of the following techniques? ​
A)Task analysis
B)Self-monitoring strategy
C)Modeling technique
D)Anchored instruction

Accepted Answer

Task analysis involves breaking down a complex skill into smaller, sequential steps in order to identify areas of difficulty and provide targeted instruction and practice. This technique is often used in special education and can be helpful for students who struggle with executive functioning or processing difficulties. The other options listed (self-monitoring strategy, modeling technique, and anchored instruction) may also be helpful strategies for supporting students' learning, but they do not involve the same process of breaking down a task into smaller steps.

Question 20

An intervention that fosters judicious review is referred to as __________ repetitions, wherein a learner is frequently asked to recall a learning experience or academic information on different days. ​
A)spaced
B)modeled
C)shaped
D)prompted

Accepted Answer

Spaced repetitions involve reviewing material at intervals, which is a proven method to improve long-term retention and comprehension. Modelled interventions involve demonstrating a desired behaviour or outcome for learners to emulate. Shaped interventions involve gradually guiding learners towards a target behaviour or outcome through reinforcement. Prompted interventions involve providing cues or hints to help learners recall or apply previously learned information. While all of these interventions may have some application in fostering judicious review, the most effective choice would be spaced repetitions as it directly addresses the need for regular recall and review over time.
