A)Providing students with options to demonstrate their learning such as traditional paper and pencil tests,and drawing or other artistic expressions.
B)Giving students stars on a chart for appropriate behavior.
C)Providing students with collaborative learning opportunities.
D)Both a and c above.

Accepted Answer

Giving students stars on a chart for appropriate behavior is the best example of an educational application based on behavioral psychology (behaviorism) principles as it uses positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors. This type of reward can strengthen the association between the behavior and the desired outcome, leading to increased likelihood of repetition of the behavior in the future. Options such as A and C are based on constructivism and social learning theory, respectively, and are not directly related to behaviorism principles.

Question 5

Which of the following mechanisms are included in bureaucratic theory?
A)Firm hierarchical control of authority.
B)Clear plans and schedules.

Accepted Answer

Bureaucratic theory emphasizes firm hierarchical control of authority, as well as clear plans and schedules to ensure efficient and consistent performance of tasks. Subordinates are not typically allowed the freedom to make decisions as necessary, and flexible standards are not part of the bureaucratic framework. Therefore, only options A and B are included in bureaucratic theory, making option E the correct choice.

Accepted Answer

The Tennessee STAR research meets the "gold standard" for education research because it used a large, diverse sample that was tracked longitudinally and randomly assigned students to classes. Both of these factors reduce the potential for bias and increase the quality of the research findings. Additionally, finding that some variables were not significant increases the validity of the study by ruling out alternative explanations for the results.

This is because it allows students to use their different learning styles to demonstrate their understanding of the material.

As such, this approach encourages students to work together, share ideas, and learn from each other's experiences. It has also been shown to promote deeper learning and better academic performance. Options A and B do not necessarily incorporate social psychology principles.
