Direction: Complete the task by selecting the best answer from the drop-down menu in the text that follows. Students are having a hard time understanding how to add a known constant with an unknown value, so the teacher borrows two beakers and brings two identical glass bowls to class. She fills one beaker with 200 ml of water and the second beaker with 300 ml of orange juice and pours them in the same bowl. Students understand there is 500 ml of water/orange juice mixture in the bowl. Now, the teacher puts masking tape around the second beaker, so the scale is not visible. She fills the first beaker with 200 ml of water and the second beaker with an unknown amount of grape juice and pours both beakers in the 2nd bowl. It is obvious that the second bowl has more than the first bowl. So, students determine the fluid in the second bowl is *(>,<,<=,>=)* the fluid in the first bowl. After some discussion and coaching from the teacher, the students determine the unknown will be represented by x. The teacher has one of the students write a big "x" on the masking tape. Now, the teacher pours the 200 ml from the bowl back in beaker 1 and the rest back in the beaker with the masking tape. The teacher repeats the steps. She pours the 200 ml in the glass bowl and has been poured in the bowl. About 3/4 of the class understand that x-amount of fluid was added to 200 ml making the total fluid in the 2nd bowl 200 ml + x ml. The teacher is trying to teach *-the connection between math and science -a science lesson - a social science lesson -a chemistry lesson

- > -the connection between math and science

Read the text below and click on evidence in the passage that clearly supports the value of self-assessment in the student learning. In 1996 Fernandes and Fontana - two highly respected education researchers out of Portugal - established a training program of self-assessment strategies with 25 primary school teachers. Over a period of eight months, the teachers implemented these strategies within their classrooms. Students in these classrooms were compares to students in the classrooms of 20 control teachers. Students in these classrooms of 20 control teachers. The results showed that students who are provided with regular opportunities and encouragement to engage in self-assessment are more likely to attribute their learning to internal beliefs (i.e. students believe they can have an impact on their own learning). These students were less likely to attribute success to luck or other unknown variables and were more likely to understand the real causes of their academic success, such as learning, effort and studying. (Changes in the control beliefs in Portuguese primary school pupils because of the employment of self-assessment strategies. British Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 301-313). Students who engage in these activities are more likely to develop internal attributions, a feeling of empowerment, and sense of autonomy. These same attributes empower us as adults in our own work, so it does make sense that it would do the same to students in a classroom.

Read the following portions from an actual trial; then answer the question that follows. Professor Clark: ... I used these methods which I told you about - the Negro and White dolls - which were identical in every respect save skin color... I presented these dolls to them [children] and I asked them the following questions in the following order: "Show me the doll that looks 'bad'..." I found that of the children between the ages of six and nine whom I tested, which were a total of sixteen in number, that ten of those children chose the white doll as their preference; the doll which they liked best. Ten of them also considered the white doll a "Nice" doll. And, I think you have to keep in mind that these two dolls are absolutely identical in every respect except skin color. Eleven of these sixteen children chose the brown doll as the doll which looked "bad." This is consistent with previous results which we have obtained testing over three hundred children, and we interpret it to mean that the Negro child accepts as early as six, seven or eight the negative stereotypes about his own group... Lawyer: Well, as a result of your tests, what conclusions have you reached, Mr. Clark? Professor Clark: The conclusion which I was forced to reach was that these children in Clarendon County, like other human beings who are subjected to an obviously inferior status in the society in which they live, have been definitely harmed in the development of their personalities; that the signs of instability in their personalities are clear, and I think that every researcher would accept and interpret these signs as such. Lawyer: Is that the type of injury which in your opinion would be enduring or lasting? Professor Clark: I think it is the kind of injury which would be as enduring or lasting as the situation endured, changing only in its form and in the way it manifests itself. In which of the following fields would the study described above most likely be conducted? A. economics B. psychology C. sociology D. criminology
