You can have more than one multiple choice module, this one is accessible from a "group" called assessment.

With Multiple Choice you need to provide the following:

A Question
Anywhere from 2-6 choices (4 is the recommended number)
The Correct Answer
A Hint, often a page reference, but could be anything (optional)
Answer Justification (coaching comment) for each potential choice (optional)

It is ideal to have 10-20 questions per chapter

This activity contains 15 questions.

What is a major issue pertaining to the nature-nurture controversy?

Young children demonstrate patterns of behavior or thinking, called schemes, which older children and adults also use in dealing with objects in the world.Is development predetermined at birth, by hereditary factors, or does experience and other environmental factors affect it?Development occurs in a smooth progression as skills develop and parents and the environment provide experiences.All children are believed to acquire skills in the same sequence, although rates of progress differ from child to child.

According to Piaget, adaptation is the process of adjusting schemes in response to the environment by means of assimilation and_____________.

SchemesAccommodationDisequilibriumConstructivism

According to Piaget, planned problem solving moves from trial and error to a planned approach at the end of what stage of development?

Concrete operationalFormal operationssensorimotorpreoperational

How did Vygotsky view cognitive development?

He saw development as genetically predetermined.He saw development as subject to mutations during its course.He proposed that intellectual development can be understood only in terms of the historical and cultural contexts children experience.He saw development as a sequence of learning stimulus-response associations.

Vygotsky differed from Piaget in that:

Piaget spent his career in the Stalinist Soviet Union.Piaget believed that learning precedes development.Piaget believed that environmental stimuli contributed to development.Vygotsky’s theory suggests that learning precedes development.

According to Vygotsky, young children use what mechanism to turn shared knowledge into their personal knowledge?

Sensorimotor behaviorConservation of energyAutonomous moralityPrivate speech

Piaget found that children did not conscientiously use and follow rules until

age 10 - 12the age of concrete operations.they were in the zone of proximal development.age 15

Research on elements of Piaget’s theories generally supports his ideas, with one key exception. What is this exception?

development precedes learningYoung children demonstrate patterns of thinking that older children and adults also use.different children pass through stages at different ratesconventional morality precedes postconventional morality.

When it came to asking children questions pertaining to moral development, Kohlberg, like Piaget, ___________.

disagreed with Erikson on the stage theory of development.was mainly concerned with the direction of the child's answer.was concerned not so much with the direction of the child’s answer as with the reasoning behind it.believed that cognitive structures were largely inherited.

Erikson hypothesized that people pass through eight psychosocial stages in their lifetimes. What happens at each stage?

The person's family will have a formal "rite of passage" ritual at each of the eight stages.The id transposes with the ego.At each stage, development does not stagnate.At each stage, there are crises or critical issues to be resolved.

Vygotskian theory most directly supports cooperative learning strategies that are evidenced by

One student helping all others to learnStudents are role models for other studentsStudents in competitionStudents helping one another to learn

According to Piagetian theory, the most essential component of constructivism is when students

Actively build meaningful understandings through experiences and interactionsAre given guidance to build positive social interactions through learningActively experience emotional uplifts through learningAre given assistance to create physical constructs through experiences and interactions

The Zone of proximal development is the level of development

Just above where a student is presently functioningJust exactly where the student is presently functioningOut of the zone of where the student is presently functioning.Just below where the student is presently functioning

In Erikson's Stage III (initiative vs guilt) ,the behavior typical of children would be

Exploring of mental and social behaviorDepending on others to lead the wayExploring physical and social behaviorBuilding of a self image

Kohlberg 's contribution to moral reasoning as advanced from Piaget's theory was that his work with children involved

Observing children in actionAsking parentsCreating game-like situationsPosing Moral dilemmas
