    Allowing early childhood students to choose and make choices does not necessarily mean that they will disrespect the teacher and the classroom. In fact, giving students the power to choose and make decisions can promote their independence, autonomy, and sense of responsibility.

    Explanation
    Asking good challenging questions is considered appropriate because it encourages children to think more deeply. When teachers ask thought-provoking questions, it stimulates critical thinking skills and promotes a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Challenging questions require students to analyze, evaluate, and apply their knowledge, fostering a more engaging and interactive learning experience. By asking such questions, teachers can also assess students' comprehension and encourage them to explore different perspectives and develop their problem-solving abilities. Therefore, asking good challenging questions is an appropriate teaching strategy.

    This answer is appropriate because it states that adults who care for infants should be able to demonstrate physical tenderness and speak with encouragement to the infants. This is important for the emotional and cognitive development of the infants, as it helps them feel loved, secure, and valued. Physical tenderness, such as gentle touch and cuddling, promotes bonding and attachment between the caregiver and the infant. Speaking with encouragement helps to build the infant's self-esteem and language skills. Overall, these actions contribute to the well-being and healthy development of the infants.

    Allowing early childhood students to choose and make choices does not necessarily lead to disrespect towards the teacher and the classroom. In fact, giving students autonomy and decision-making power can promote a sense of ownership, responsibility, and engagement in the learning process. It allows them to develop important life skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-regulation. However, it is important for the teacher to establish clear boundaries, provide guidance, and foster a positive and respectful classroom culture to ensure that students understand the importance of respecting authority and their peers.

    Explanation
    Displaying student work can help create positive self-esteem because it allows students to see their accomplishments and feel proud of their achievements. When their work is showcased and acknowledged by their peers and teachers, it boosts their confidence and motivates them to continue working hard. Additionally, displaying student work can also inspire and motivate other students to strive for excellence, creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

Empathy goes beyond sympathy, which is merely feeling sorry for someone. It requires actively listening and showing understanding and compassion towards others. In the context of the given options, the correct answer accurately defines empathy as the capacity to comprehend and relate to someone else's feelings and perspective.

    Restriciting student play, handing out worksheets and constantly correcting preschoolers is....

    • Appropriate

    • Inappropriate

    Correct Answer
    A. Inappropriate
    Explanation
    Restricting student play, handing out worksheets, and constantly correcting preschoolers is inappropriate because it goes against the principles of early childhood education. Preschoolers learn best through play and exploration, and by engaging in hands-on activities. Restricting play and relying heavily on worksheets limits their opportunities for creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction. Constantly correcting them can also hinder their self-esteem and motivation to learn. Instead, a more appropriate approach would be to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment that encourages active learning and allows for individual expression and growth.

    • A student writing with a crayon

    • A student riding a tricycle alone

    • A student with shopping list and walking with a shopping cart

    Correct Answer
    A. A student writing with a crayon
    Explanation
    Using fine motor skills refers to the ability to make precise movements with small muscles, usually in the hands and fingers. Writing with a crayon requires the use of fine motor skills as the student needs to grip the crayon and control their hand movements to create letters or drawings. This activity involves coordination and control of small muscle groups, making it an example of using fine motor skills.

    Correct Answer
    A. Running , Climbing, Tricycle Riding
    Explanation
    Gross motor skills involve the use of large muscle groups and coordination of movements. Running, climbing, and tricycle riding are all examples of gross motor skills as they require the use of the legs and whole body movement. Singing, sitting, writing, book reading, and group activities do not involve the same level of physical movement and coordination, therefore they are not examples of gross motor skills.

    In a DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) classroom, students are allowed to have choices because it aligns with their natural way of learning. Allowing students to make choices empowers them and promotes their autonomy, which can lead to increased engagement and motivation. It also recognizes that each student has unique interests, strengths, and learning styles. By providing choices, teachers can cater to individual needs and preferences, creating a more personalized and effective learning experience.

During this stage, infants learn about the world around them by using their senses and developing their motor abilities. They explore and interact with objects, learn cause and effect relationships, and develop basic motor skills such as grasping, crawling, and eventually walking. This stage is crucial for their cognitive and physical development as they learn to understand and navigate their environment.

    • Scaffolding

    • Conservation

    • Sensorimotor

    • Irreversibility

    Correct Answer
    A. Scaffolding
    Explanation
    Scaffolding is not a theory of Piaget. Piaget's theories include Sensorimotor, Conservation, and Irreversibility. Scaffolding, on the other hand, is a concept developed by Lev Vygotsky, which refers to the support and guidance provided to a learner by a more knowledgeable individual, usually an adult or a more skilled peer. It is a teaching strategy or technique rather than a theory of cognitive development.

    • Because This work is better for older children

    • Because it can be stressful

    • Because the NAEYC is very strict

    Correct Answer
    A. Because it can be stressful
    Explanation
    Worksheets and worksheet assignments are frowned upon in an appropriate classroom because they can be stressful for students. These types of assignments often involve repetitive and rote tasks, which can lead to boredom and disengagement. Additionally, worksheets do not promote critical thinking or problem-solving skills, as they typically have only one correct answer. Instead, a more effective and engaging approach to learning involves hands-on activities, group discussions, and project-based assignments that promote creativity and critical thinking skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    What is a good example of irreversibility?

    • The child who says that their absent parent is home because that parents car is outside

    • The child who knows how to reverse in a toy car

    • The child who begins a sentence in class and then cannot remember what he was going to say

    Correct Answer
    A. The child who says that their absent parent is home because that parents car is outside
    Explanation
    The child who says that their absent parent is home because that parent's car is outside is a good example of irreversibility because the child is unable to understand that just because the car is present, it does not mean that the parent is also present. The child is unable to reverse their thinking and consider other possibilities, showing a lack of cognitive flexibility and understanding of cause and effect.
