Which is an equity issue related to technology uses in instruction?
- A.
  
  Fewer technology courses are available to minority students.
- B.
  
  Fewer technology courses are available to female students.
- C.
  
  Disadvantaged students lack access to higher-level computer uses.
- D.
  
  Disadvantaged students lack the ability to use computer applications.
Correct Answer
C. Disadvantaged students lack access to higher-level computer uses.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Disadvantaged students lack access to higher-level computer uses." This answer addresses an equity issue related to technology uses in instruction by highlighting the unequal access to advanced computer applications for disadvantaged students. This suggests that these students are not given the same opportunities to develop their technological skills compared to their more privileged counterparts.

What emerging technology trends will education encounter in the future?
- A.
  
  A decrease in DSL connectivity
- B.
  
  An increase in mobility through wireless access
- C.
  
  A decrease in handheld communication devices
- D.
  
  An increase in dependence on AI systems
Correct Answer
B. An increase in mobility through wireless access

Explanation
In the future, education is likely to encounter an increase in mobility through wireless access. This means that more and more educational resources and platforms will be accessible through wireless networks, allowing students and teachers to connect and access information from anywhere. This trend will enable greater flexibility and convenience in education, as it will eliminate the need for physical connectivity and allow for learning to take place in various locations. Additionally, wireless access will also facilitate the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets in education, further enhancing the mobility and accessibility of educational resources.

Which is NOT an ethical or legal issue impacting the integration of technology into education?
- A.
  
  Increased copyright issues
- B.
  
  Increased viruses and hacking
- C.
  
  Increased plagiarism
- D.
  
  Increased privacy of information
Correct Answer
D. Increased privacy of information

Explanation
Increased privacy of information is not an ethical or legal issue impacting the integration of technology into education. While privacy of information is an important concern, it is actually an ethical and legal issue that does impact the integration of technology into education. The other options mentioned in the question, such as increased copyright issues, increased viruses and hacking, and increased plagiarism, are all ethical and legal issues that can have a significant impact on the integration of technology into education.

Although many educators tend to think of technology as devices, Saettler reminds us that the definition of educational technology encompasses the following:
- A.
  
  Combination of hardware and software.
- B.
  
  Changing resources.
- C.
  
  Technology tools and processes.
- D.
  
  Combination of media and computer devices.
Correct Answer
C. Technology tools and processes.

Explanation
The correct answer is "technology tools and processes." This is because Saettler's definition of educational technology includes not only hardware and software, but also the tools and processes that are used in conjunction with technology. This means that educational technology is not just about the devices themselves, but also about how they are used and the processes that are involved in using them for educational purposes.

This textbook focuses on computers rather than other technologies. Which is NOT a reason for this focus?
- A.
  
  Computer systems take the place of many other kinds of media.
- B.
  
  It is easier for educators to see how to integrate less-complex media.
- C.
  
  Educational technology refers primarily to computer equipment.
- D.
  
  Computer systems are more complex than other kinds of media.
Correct Answer
B. It is easier for educators to see how to integrate less-complex media.

Explanation
The reason that is NOT a reason for the focus on computers in this textbook is that it is easier for educators to see how to integrate less-complex media. The focus on computers is not because they are easier to integrate, but rather because computer systems take the place of many other kinds of media, educational technology refers primarily to computer equipment, and computer systems are more complex than other kinds of media.

What would Vygotsky call a process of helping students build new math skills by using skills and information from their own experiences?
- A.
  
  Cognitive dissonance
- B.
  
  Visualizataion
- C.
  
  Disequilibrium
- D.
  
  Scaffolding
Correct Answer
D. Scaffolding

Explanation
Vygotsky would call the process of helping students build new math skills by using skills and information from their own experiences "scaffolding". Scaffolding refers to the support provided by a teacher or more knowledgeable peer to help a student develop their understanding and skills. It involves breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, providing guidance and assistance as needed, and gradually reducing support as the student becomes more independent. This approach allows students to build on their prior knowledge and experiences, making the learning process more effective and meaningful.

What do directed and constructivist approaches have in common?
- A.
  
  Both agree on the fundamental nature of human knowledge.
- B.
  
  Both share common views on conditions needed for learning.
- C.
  
  Both use identical terminology to refer to the same methods.
- D.
  
  Both are based on the work of respected learning theorists.
Correct Answer
D. Both are based on the work of respected learning theorists.

Explanation
Both directed and constructivist approaches are grounded in the work of respected learning theorists. This means that both approaches have been developed and influenced by the theories and research of experts in the field of learning and education. This common foundation suggests that both approaches have validity and credibility in their understanding of how learning occurs.

Which concept is most closely associated with Piaget?
- A.
  
  Stages of development
- B.
  
  Advance organizers
- C.
  
  Mastery learning
- D.
  
  Cognitive apprenticeships
Correct Answer
A. Stages of development

Explanation
Piaget is most closely associated with the concept of stages of development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposed that children progress through distinct stages of cognitive development, each characterized by specific cognitive abilities and ways of thinking. According to Piaget, these stages include the sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operational stage, and formal operational stage. This concept emphasizes the idea that children's thinking and understanding of the world evolves and becomes more complex as they grow and mature.

Which is a good use of problem-solving software?
- A.
  
  As a substitute for worksheets
- B.
  
  To foster the use of learning strategies
- C.
  
  As a way to review content
- D.
  
  To foster automatic recall
Correct Answer
B. To foster the use of learning strategies

Explanation
Problem-solving software is a good use to foster the use of learning strategies because it encourages students to think critically and develop problem-solving skills. This type of software typically presents students with challenging problems or scenarios that require them to analyze, evaluate, and apply various strategies to find a solution. By using problem-solving software, students can practice and improve their critical thinking skills, logical reasoning, and decision-making abilities, which are essential for their overall academic and personal development. Additionally, this software can also help students become more independent learners by encouraging them to explore different approaches and strategies to solve problems.
