Question 2

Which one of the following rules,based on your text's recommendations,seems to be more appropriate for secondary school classes than for elementary school classes?

Accepted Answer

Bringing all materials to class is a more appropriate rule for secondary school classes than for elementary school classes because secondary school students are expected to be more responsible for their own learning and to be able to manage their own materials.

Question 3

The essential difference between rules and procedures is that rules are

Accepted Answer

Rules are typically established to provide guidance on what behaviour is or is not acceptable in a particular environment, while procedures are established to provide guidance on how to carry out specific activities or tasks. Therefore, rules are concerned with what and what not to do, while procedures involve how to do activities.

Question 4

Greg was trying to pass Bill a note,but Bill kept his eyes on his own work and thought,"Why does Greg do this to me? Mrs.Pepper will spot him for sure.She never misses anything.You'd think she could read minds." Mrs.Pepper could be described as exhibiting what characteristic?

Accepted Answer

Mrs.Pepper exhibits the characteristic of withitness, which means being aware of everything that is happening in the classroom and noticing even small details like students passing notes.

Question 5

When handing in material,Mr.Spark's students pass their work forward to the students in the front row,who then pass the materials from left to right.This approach is an example of classroom

Accepted Answer

This is an example of classroom procedures, which are established routines for how tasks are done in the classroom. It involves a specific sequence and method for passing in materials. Organizational behaviours refer to how the class interacts as a group, protocols refer to a specific set of rules or procedures for certain situations, and rules are specific guidelines for behavior.

Question 6

Sherry's class knows that different behaviours are expected (and tolerated)during different kinds of activities.It is likely that her class has a good understanding of

Accepted Answer

The fact that Sherry's class knows that different behaviors are expected during different kinds of activities indicates that they understand participation structures, or the different roles and expectations for behavior depending on the activity. This suggests that they have been taught and guided through these structures, and understand the expectations for behavior during different activities, such as quiet reading time versus group work. While the other options may also be taught and practiced in the classroom, they are not necessarily indicated by the information given in the question.

Question 7

Based on Doyle's analysis of classroom characteristics and management needs,the main task for teachers is viewed as

Accepted Answer

According to Doyle's analysis, the main task for teachers is to gain students' cooperation for learning tasks. This involves creating a positive and supportive classroom environment, establishing clear expectations and procedures, and using effective communication and instructional strategies. Although dealing with misbehavior is also important, it is seen as a secondary task that can be minimized through proactive classroom management. Ensuring obedience is not the primary goal, as it does not necessarily lead to effective learning. Working with administrators and other teachers is also important, but it is not the main task specifically related to classroom management.

Question 8

Kenneth frequently misbehaves in Ms.Lindquist's biology class.Which one of the following penalties for his misbehaviour is based on Weinstein and Mignano's categories of negative consequences?

Accepted Answer

Weinstein and Mignano's categories of negative consequences include logical consequences, which involve having students reflect on their behavior and its impact. Writing an essay about his misbehavior and its effects aligns with this approach.

Question 9

At what educational level is the direct teaching of classroom rules and procedures most critical for effective classroom management?

Accepted Answer

Direct teaching of classroom rules and procedures is most critical for effective classroom management at the early elementary level as children at this age are still developing their social and emotional skills, and need clear and consistent guidance to learn appropriate behavior in a classroom setting. As they progress through middle and late elementary school, they have already developed some understanding of these rules and procedures, and can more easily follow them without direct instruction. High school students are generally more self-directed and should already have a strong understanding of classroom expectations, making direct instruction less critical at this level.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Penny is an eighth-grade student in Mr.James'...

Question 11

Weinstein and Mignano found that expert teachers primarily used detention to

Accepted Answer

Weinstein and Mignano found that expert teachers primarily used detention as an opportunity to talk privately with the student about why the particular misbehavior occurred, and to work with the student on strategies for avoiding similar behavior in the future.

Question 12

Although specific consequences may be established for specific misbehaviour,your text suggests a general consequence for many problems.This general consequence is

Accepted Answer

Redoing the procedure or activity correctly is a general consequence that addresses the misbehavior by requiring the individual to correct their actions, reinforcing the correct behavior.

Question 16

Mr.Marshall's first two science classes were devoted to demonstrating and explaining rules and procedures in the laboratory.Based on research involving effective management,this procedure will probably result in

Accepted Answer

By dedicating the first two classes to demonstrating and explaining rules and procedures in the laboratory, Mr. Marshall is likely ensuring that students have a clear understanding of how to safely and effectively conduct experiments throughout the school year. This will likely lead to more efficient use of time in future lab sessions, resulting in time gained over the course of the school year for additional learning activities.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which one of the following time measures...

Question 18

Classrooms contain many different people with differing values,attitudes,and goals.This is why classrooms are said by Doyle to be

Accepted Answer

Doyle describes classrooms as multidimensional because they contain a variety of individuals with diverse values, attitudes, and goals. This diversity can create complexity and requires educators to be able to adapt to meet the needs of all students.

Question 19

According to your text,one of the best ways to avoid discipline problems is to

Accepted Answer

Keeping the group focused on productive learning is the best way to prevent discipline problems. If students are engaged in meaningful activities, they are less likely to misbehave. While having a comprehensive set of rules and creating a pleasant environment are important, they may not be enough to prevent all discipline issues. Referring problem students to the counselor should only be done after other strategies have been attempted.
