Teacher Nenita discourages her students to watch TV excessively. The average student spends about twenty-four hours watching television in a week. According to research, how is learning affected by extensive TV viewing?
- Short attention span
- Enhanced creativity
- Improved thinking skills
- Improved communication skills
Correct Answer

A. Short attention span

Explanation

Extensive TV viewing can lead to a short attention span. Research has shown that spending excessive time watching television can negatively impact a person's ability to concentrate and focus on tasks. This is because television often involves quick scene changes, fast-paced storytelling, and frequent interruptions from commercials, which can train the brain to seek constant stimulation and make it harder to sustain attention for longer periods of time. Therefore, it is understandable why Teacher Nenita discourages her students from watching TV excessively, as it can hinder their learning abilities.

You want your students to master the concept of social justice. Which series of activities will be most effective?
- Pretest – Teaching – Posttest - Re-teaching for unlearned concepts – Posttest
- Teaching – Posttest
- Pretest – Teaching – Posttest
- Review – Pretest – Teaching – Posttest
Correct Answer

A. Pretest – Teaching – Posttest - Re-teaching for unlearned concepts – Posttest

Explanation

The most effective series of activities for students to master the concept of social justice is to start with a pretest to assess their prior knowledge and identify any knowledge gaps. Then, teach the concept of social justice to the students. After teaching, administer a posttest to measure the students' understanding and progress. If there are any concepts that the students did not learn or understand, re-teach those concepts specifically. Finally, administer another posttest to assess the students' improvement and mastery of the concept. This series of activities allows for assessment, targeted teaching, and reinforcement of the concept for optimal learning outcomes.

Teacher Henry gave his first-grade class a page with a story in which pictures take the place of some words. Which method did he use?
- The rebus method
- The whole language approach
- The Spaulding method
- The language experience approach
Correct Answer

A. The rebus method

Explanation

The rebus method is a technique that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. In this case, Teacher Henry used pictures in the story to replace some words, allowing the first-grade students to understand the story and practice their reading skills. This method helps young learners make connections between images and words, enhancing their comprehension and vocabulary development. The other methods mentioned, such as the whole language approach, the Spaulding method, and the language experience approach, do not specifically involve the use of pictures to replace words.

In your attempt to develop creative thinking skills, you want to test fluency of ideas. Which activity will be most appropriate?
- List animals covered with hair in 1 minute

Correct Answer

A. List animals covered with hair in 1 minute
