This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. 1.) Objectives - 2.) TEKS - 3.) Attention Getter - 4.) Activities (introduce activities without content) - 5.) Content Delivery (lecture - lecture-discussion - demonstration) - 6.) Closure of Lesson - 7.) Assessment. Activity first - discussion secon






2. Practice makes perfect is a fundamental learning tool. Base the curriculum on the different stages [7 total] students are on. Use senses to mix up learning. You will vary your instructional routine many times!

4. Changes in the mental structures that contain information and procedures for operating on information. Examples of Teaching Strategies: Audio-visual aide - experiments - hands-on-activities - concept maps - mnemonics - reports - and homework.






5. Feelings - attitudes - and values from lower levels of acquisition to the highest level of internalization and action. We want them to value what they learn.






6. Student's ability to study and comprehend is often contingent upon their ability to take notes. Best Strategies: 1. Outline (full or incomplete)- provided by teacher - 2. 'T' notes created by students - 3. Picture frame notes - 4. Concept maps create

12. Values or behaviors that students learn indirectly over the course of their schooling because of the structure of the educational system and the teaching methods used. Teachers must educate the 'whole student' not just the part of the student that th






13. Application of material (vs. learning: change in behavior).

15. Organization of information through visual representations: concept maps - graphic organizers - webs - advanced organizer - schematic - Venn diagram.

17. HOW curriculum is implemented in the classroom. Example: problem solving - puzzles - etc.

19. Cooperative learning (ability group ~ 5 members) - learning centers - group work - think-pair-share - jigsaw - panel discussion - symposium (members present their side) - debate - round table.

25. 1.) Help teachers plan WHAT they are going to teach (not HOW they are going to teach). 2.) Help teachers create test questions that align with what has been taught (as indicated by the objective). Plan/organize- what. objectives must match test quest






26. The brain thinks and processes in wholes (deductive reasoning) - so it is important for a student to understand the whole first - then once there is understanding - the teacher is able to move to specifics and details (inductive reasoning).






27. Knowledge: Recognizing and recalling information. About 90 percent of learning doesn't get passed knowledge. Example: What is the capital of...






28. The brain processes incoming sensory data through its different regions. The brain thinks in WHOLES - not pieces. It stores in pieces however - all in different places. We retrieve in pieces- deductive process- whole to part. Example: the brain does

33. Changes in school achievement as well as changes in attitude and motivation. Example of Teaching Strategies: group work - role play - cooperative learning - demonstration - learning centers - and discussion.






34. External catalyst that encourages behaviors (rewards and punishments). Begin with this and then move toward intrinsic. Examples: praise - grades - food - tokens - attention getters (how you open your lesson)






35. KWL- What do I already KNOW - What do I WANT to know - End of the reading/activity - what have I LEARNED. READS- REVIEW headings and subheadings - EXAMINE boldface words - ASK - 'what do I expect to learn?' - DO it-read - SUMMARIZE in your own words-






36. Piaget - Gagna - Bruner - Ausubel - Erikson - Vygoslsky.






37. Evaluation: Judging the worth of an idea - notion - theory - thesis - proposition - information - or opinion. Informed opinion or decision. Example: Which U.S. senator is the most effective?






38. You want prior learning to contribute to recent learning in a positive transfer. Large group teaching makes it impossible. Goal is to have positive transfer.






39. 1.) Gaining Attention - 2.) Objectives - 3.) Recall of Prior Learning - 4.) Presenting the Stimulus - 5.) Providing Learning Guidance - 6.) Eliciting Performance - 7.) Providing Feedback - 8.) Assessing Performance - 9.) Enhancing Retention and Trans
