She attends a workshop on obesity and the family. B. She purchases new equipment for use in the classroom. C. She plans activities in the lesson plan for weight loss. D. She creates a fact sheet on obesity to encourage physical activity.
Correct answer: She creates a fact sheet on obesity to encourage physical activity Technology can help teachers to develop information, such as fact sheets, to promote awareness of a topic to students, parents and the community. For example, the teacher can develop a fact sheet on obesity and send it home with the students or pass out the facts sheet at school events or community sponsored health fairs. Further, the remaining answer choices are good options for health and physical activity. However, the teacher actions of attending workshops, purchasing new classroom equipment and creating lesson plans focusing on weight loss emphasize student instruction and curriculum planning and may not spread awareness of obesity to the community.

Better training facilities D. Equal rewards for winning
The Correct answer is: Relative age Improvements during this period can be traced to environmental factors such as better coaching and facilities, more opportunities for training and competing, and equal rewards for performance. Women and men now share facilities and coaches. Greater expectations for performance and more encouragement for women also contributed to the improvements noted.
You have been informed that you will be teaching a new student who suffers from hemiparesis. What does this mean? A. The student will have a loss of motor control, strength and sensation on one side of his body. B. The student will have suffered a stroke. C. The student's muscles will be resistant to stretching. D. The student will have paralysis in his lower extremities.
The Correct answer is: The student will have a loss of motor control, strength and sensation on one side of his body. Paralysis of both the upper and lower body is called quadriplegia or tetraplegia. Paralysis of the lower body is paraplegia. Hemiparesis is loss of motor control and sensation on one side of the body. This can be caused by stroke, accident, illness, or a birth trauma. Spasticity is a condition of excessive muscle tone with a resistance to stretching.

What are four possible ways to move across the gym on two feet? D. What is the best way to safely mount the bars?
The Correct answer is: What are four possible ways to move across the gym on two feet? This challenge encourages children to find more than one way to accomplish the goal. If they succeed, they can be challenged to find other ways. Asking "Can you?" might prompt the student to answer, "I can't." Asking "How many ways?" gives the student permission to answer with only one way. Children should be encouraged to find more than one solution to a given problem by exploring and discovering on their own.
Which of the following is an objective for cognitive learning? A. Identify incorrect patterns in learning a skill B. Assessing how well a student is learning a new task C. Performing a needs assessment to assign physical activities based on developmental abilities D. Applying rules and concepts in a physical activity
The correct answer is applying rules and concepts in a physical activity. Cognitive learning is a type of learning. Other forms of learning includes affective and psychomotor. With cognitive learning, the objectives focus on recalling information, understanding information, applying the concepts to physical activities, breaking down large amounts of information into smaller pieces, synthesizing information and assessing concepts
A student's center of gravity that is associated with the body's ability to remain stable during physical activity is located where? A. in the lower extremities B. along the center of the spine and lower back C. near the navel D. near the joints of the upper body
The correct answer is near the navel. For stability of the body, the center of gravity for the body is found near the navel in the mid section of the body. This center of gravity provides the body with the ability to remain stable and have a support base for performing activities. Also, the center of gravity draws from the area near the navel downwards to the ground, which is why the body is more stable when a student stands with both of his or her legs spread apart.
An individual's motor response occurs in stages. Which of the following is the first stage of motor response? A. Stimulus stage B. Response stage C. Programming stage D. Output stage
The correct answer is stimulus stage. Motor performance involves information processing. In order to have a motor response, the individual learns what is needed to perform the motor response, such as a learning the movements of a new skill. Further, information processing involves three stages which are the stimulus or the identification stage, the response or selection stage and the response or programming stage. When a student performs a motor skill, the student has to determine what to do, decide on the action or how to perform the activity and then engage in the movement.
Which of the following approaches could the teacher use when a student is goofing off in class? A. Differential reinforcement B. Group reinforcement C. Internal reinforcement D. Cognitive reinforcement
The correct answer: is differential reinforcement. Differential reinforcement is an approach where the teacher uses strategies to change a negative situation into a positive situation. For instance, the teacher could use differential reinforcement and ask the student who is goofing off to demonstrate how to strike a ball in order to stop the disruptive behavior and potentially get the student back on task.
What type of behavioral management technique provides student with a reminder for inappropriate behavior? A. Constructive responses B. Time outs C. Reprimand D. Reward systems
The correct answer: is reprimand. Reprimands work by providing the student with a reminder that he or she needs to stop the inappropriate behavior. Teachers can use reprimands by giving effective and constructive feedback. Further, the teacher should tell the student what behavior is not appropriate during a short meeting to prevent reprimanding the student in front of the class. The teacher should talk about the behavior only and not connect the behavior with the student's personality. Then, the teacher should discuss with the student what the appropriate behavior is and then provide some type of reinforcement when the student uses the appropriate behavior.
