Accepted Answer

A

Question 2

Locke thought children&#10;A) are like blank slates&#10;B) are preformed at birth&#10;C) grow according to an inner timetable&#10;D) develop in a series of stages

Accepted Answer

According to Locke, children are like blank slates (or "tabula rasa") and their experiences shape their development and the formation of their character.

Question 3

Locke believed the best rewards and punishments are&#10;A) immediately administered&#10;B) gradually administered&#10;C) physical&#10;D) praise and disapproval

Accepted Answer

Locke believed that the best rewards and punishments are praise and disapproval because they help to build motivation and internalize morality in the individual, rather than relying on immediate physical punishment or gradual rewards.

Question 4

A child raised by Rousseau's method at the age of 10 or 12 would not be&#10;A) athletic&#10;B) happy&#10;C) spontaneous&#10;D) sophisticated

Accepted Answer

Rousseau's method focused on allowing children to develop naturally without the influence of society and culture. This means they would not be exposed to the sophistication and refinement of city life, which may hinder their social and intellectual development in ways that would be expected in regular society. Therefore, a child raised by Rousseau's method would not be sophisticated. However, the child may still be athletic, happy, and spontaneous, depending on their individual temperament and interests.

Question 5

If Rousseau were alive today, he probably would look most favorably on a book titled&#10;A) &#34;Let Children Be Children&#34;&#10;B) &#34;Teaching Your Preschooler to Read the Simple Way&#34;&#10;C) &#34;The Rational Infant&#34;&#10;D) &#34;Preparing Children for Success&#34;

Accepted Answer

Rousseau believed in the natural innocence and simplicity of childhood, and that children should be free to explore and learn through play. "Let Children Be Children" aligns with his belief in allowing children to be themselves and emphasizing their innate creativity and curiosity, rather than forcing them to conform to adult standards or expectations. The other choices may not align as well with his philosophy.

Question 6

Rousseau&#10;A) was considered a master classroom teacher&#10;B) was inspired by Montessori&#10;C) was a failure as a father&#10;D) was dedicated to preformationism

Accepted Answer

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, despite his influential ideas on education and child-rearing, admitted to abandoning his own children at an orphanage, which has led to criticism of him as a father. His educational philosophies, as outlined in works like "Emile, or On Education," contrast sharply with his personal actions in this regard. Montessori was inspired by Rousseau's ideas, not the other way around. Rousseau was not known as a classroom teacher, and his educational theories opposed preformationism, emphasizing instead the idea that children's development unfolds naturally and should not be interfered with excessively.
