Question 1

Which aspect of intelligence from Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence relates to a person's internal mental processes?&#10;A)analytical intelligence&#10;B)practical intelligence&#10;C)creative intelligence&#10;D)musical intelligence

Accepted Answer

Analytical intelligence, according to Sternberg's Triarchic Theory, involves the ability to analyze, evaluate, and judge information. It relates to a person's internal mental processes as it involves the individual's ability to think critically and solve problems using reasoning and logical thinking, which are internal cognitive processes.

Question 2

How does Howard Gardner differentiate between the five minds and the nine intelligences that are part of his Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory?

Accepted Answer

Gardner defines the five minds as broad uses of the mind that can be cultivated in school, the workplace, or in professions.These minds make use of the different intelligences.

Question 3

The three major learning styles according to the VAK model are&#10;A)voluntary, automatic, and knee-jerk.&#10;B)versatile, adaptable, and kinetic.&#10;C)vicious, apathetic, and kindly.&#10;D)visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Accepted Answer

The VAK model categorizes learning into three styles based on sensory input - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Therefore, choice D (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are not related to the VAK model of learning styles.

Question 4

A learner's preferred way of acquiring, processing, and making use of new knowledge is one's&#10;A)intelligence quotient.&#10;B)experiential potential.&#10;C)learning style.&#10;D)multiple intelligence.

Accepted Answer

A learner's preferred way of acquiring, processing, and making use of new knowledge is known as their learning style. Intelligence quotient and experiential potential are related to a person's overall cognitive ability and capacity for growth, but do not specifically refer to their learning preferences. Multiple intelligence theory refers to the idea that people possess a range of different intelligences, but it is not a term used to describe individual learning style.

Question 5

The primary goal of differentiating instruction is to.&#10;A)accelerate the pace of learning for some students.&#10;B)maximize the learning of all students.&#10;C)identify which students are gifted and talented.&#10;D)promote self-learning.

Accepted Answer

The primary goal of differentiating instruction is to maximize the learning of all students. This approach acknowledges that students have different learning styles, interests, and skill levels, and therefore, they require different strategies, methods, and materials to achieve success. By adapting the curriculum, content, and assessments to the unique needs of each student, differentiation aims to provide a more personalized and inclusive learning experience that promotes engagement, motivation, and achievement across the board. Accelerating the pace of learning for some students, identifying gifted and talented students, or promoting self-learning are all possible outcomes of differentiated instruction, but they are not the main goal or purpose of this approach.

Question 6

According to Kolb's experiential learning theory, the cycle of learning begins with&#10;A)time for reflective observation.&#10;B)a concrete experience.&#10;C)active experimentation.&#10;D)a period of abstract conceptualization.

Accepted Answer

According to Kolb's experiential learning theory, the cycle of learning begins with a concrete experience. This means that learning starts with an individual having a real, tangible experience that they can reflect on and use to develop new skills and knowledge.

Question 7

Which aspect of the curriculum provides opportunities for differentiating instruction?&#10;A)process&#10;B)products&#10;C)content&#10;D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

All three aspects of the curriculum (process, products, and content) provide opportunities for differentiating instruction. Process refers to the instructional strategies and methods used to teach the content, and different students may benefit from different approaches. Products refer to the ways in which students demonstrate their learning, and providing choices in how they do so can allow for differentiation. Finally, content itself can be adjusted to meet the needs and interests of different students. Therefore, all three aspects offer potential for differentiation.

Question 10

According to Kolb, how are diverging learners different from converging learners?&#10;A)Converging learners are leaders and thinkers while diverging learners are analytical and logical.&#10;B)Diverging learners are pragmatic and practical while converging learners are more emotional and artistic.&#10;C)Converging learners are pragmatic and practical while diverging learners are more emotional and artistic.&#10;D)Diverging learners are reflective and emotional while converging learners are analytical and logical.

Accepted Answer

Converging learners are characterized by their ability to solve problems and make decisions through practical application of ideas. They prefer technical tasks over social or interpersonal issues. Diverging learners, on the other hand, are imaginative and strong in generating ideas. They prefer watching rather than doing, and they work well in situations that require brainstorming.
