2027 ACTUAL EXAM 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
Answers.
Constructivist Theory A philosophy based on the premise that people
construct their own
understanding of the world they live in through
reflection on experiences.
Constructivist Theory in Practice For example: Groups of students in a science class
are discussing a problem in physics. Though the
teacher knows the "answer" to the problem, she
focuses on
helping students restate their questions in useful
ways. She prompts each student to reflect on and
examine his or her current knowledge. When one of
the students comes up with the relevant concept, the
teacher seizes upon it, and indicates to the group that
this might be a fruitful avenue for them to explore.
They design and perform relevant experiments.
Afterward, the students and teacher talk about
what they have learned, and how their observations
and experiments helped (or did not help) them to
better understand the concept.
Cognitive-constructivist view of reading Aim to assist students in assimilating new information to
existing knowledge, as
well as enabling them to make the appropriate
accommodations to their existing intellectual framework
to accommodate that information. Ex. Because of
Winn- Dixie; from her inference, and active knowledge
of the text says that people who have things in
common often become friends.
Socio-cultural theory/Ex. Extends the influence on the cognitive-constructivist
view out from the reader and the text into the larger
social realm. Learning is viewed as social rather than
individual. -Lev Vygotsky Ex. Understanding the
zone of proximal development can be helpful for
teachers.
In classroom settings, teachers may first assess students

Planning and organizing their instruction and
lessons: For example, the teacher might organize
the class into groups where less skilled children are
paired with students who have a higher skill level.
Using hints, prompts, and direct instruction to help kids
improve their ability levels.
Scaffolding, where the teacher provides specific
prompts to move the child progressively forward
toward a goal.
Reader Response Theory The main argument of reader-response theory is that
readers, as much as the text, play an active role in a
reading experience (Rosenblatt, 1994). This theory
rejects the structuralist view that meaning resides
solely in the text. Words in a text evoke images in
readers' minds and readers bring their experiences to
this encounter.
Experiential Learning As the name suggests, experiential learning involves
learning from experience. The theory was proposed
by psychologist David Kolb who was influenced by
the work of other theorists including John Dewey,
Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget

Oral Language Development The complex system that relates sounds to
meanings, is made of three components:
phonological, (rules for combining sounds) semantic,
(the smallest units of meaning that may be
combined to make up words) and syntactic (the
rules that combine morphemes into sentences). Reading
and talking with children plays an important role in
developing their vocabulary. The more you talk to
children, the larger their vocabulary will develop. Note:
Pragmatic is also the rules that allow us to speak
appropriately in different settings
What are the stages of writing development? Scribbling/drawing
Letter like forms
and shapes
Letters
Letters and spaces
Conventional writing and spelling (children in this stage
spell most words
correctly with a reliance on knowledge of phonics to
spell longer words, they can punctuate, can properly
use capital and lower case letters. Writing different
purposes is important, handwriting and spelling
becomes easier.
What are stages of reading development Early Emergent
Emergent (understands alphabet, phonological
awareness and knows phonics, have command of
high frequency words, developing comprehension
and word
attack skills, recognize types of texts, non-fiction and
fiction, and that reading has a variety of purposes).
Early Fluent
Fluent
What are the stages of the alphabetic phase The written forms of spoken, alphabetic language
languages which use letters
(graphemes) in a code to represent the sounds of
speech (phonemes) specific sequences of letters form
words, this is the alphabetic principle. If we obeyed this
principle we wouldn't have words like to, too, and
two.
