    Too often educators are choosing e-learning to get their message across simply because it's there and is seen as the fashionable to do. Even where the electronic medium offers no educational benefits, and might even be detrimental to learning. If the end-result offers nothing that couldn't as easily be achieved on paper, then you're probably better off doing it on paper - even if that paper is delivered as a PDF file. Which of the statement below describes this paragraph?  

    • E-learning is the best approach.

    • E-learning cannot guarantee good instruction.

    • E-learning should be taken as a step; with careful consideration.

    Correct Answer
    A. E-learning should be taken as a step; with careful consideration.
    Explanation
    The paragraph suggests that educators should not choose e-learning simply because it is fashionable, but should carefully consider whether it offers any educational benefits. It implies that e-learning may not always be the best approach and that other methods, such as using paper, may be more effective in certain situations. Therefore, the statement "e-learning should be taken as a step; with careful consideration" accurately describes the paragraph.

    In Hoban's illustration of the Abstract-Concrete Continuum, a teacher is always reminded of the main task in the delivery of instruction. In the aspect of classroom teaching and technology integration, what is this task?

    • Teachers must be aware of what is abstract.

    • Teachers must be realistic.

    • Teachers must make clear what is unclear.

    • Teachers must be conscious of what is concrete.

    Correct Answer
    A. Teachers must make clear what is unclear.
    Explanation
    In the aspect of classroom teaching and technology integration, the task of the teacher is to make clear what is unclear. This means that teachers should strive to clarify any confusing or ambiguous concepts or ideas for their students. They should ensure that the content being taught is easily understandable and accessible to all learners. This task is important in promoting effective instruction and facilitating student learning.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following has a least learner involvement?

    • Watching a demo

    • Doing the real thing

    • Participating in a discussion

    • Simulating a real experience

    Correct Answer
    A. Watching a demo
    Explanation
    Watching a demo requires the least learner involvement because it involves passive observation without any active participation or engagement. The learner simply watches someone else demonstrate a task or concept without actively doing it themselves or engaging in any interactive discussion. This minimal involvement may limit the learner's ability to fully understand or retain the information compared to other options that involve more active participation and engagement.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The following activities provide 70% opportunity for learning except for,

    • Participating in a discussion

    • Looking at pictures

    • Doing a dramatic presentation

    • Giving a talk

    Correct Answer
    A. Looking at pictures
    Explanation
    Looking at pictures is not considered a highly interactive or participatory activity, unlike participating in a discussion, doing a dramatic presentation, or giving a talk. In these activities, individuals actively engage with the content, express their thoughts, and interact with others, which enhances learning opportunities. On the other hand, looking at pictures may provide visual stimulation and aid in understanding concepts, but it may not offer the same level of active engagement and interaction, thus reducing the learning opportunity it provides.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Determine the activity: Simulation of a real experience.

    • Visual receiving

    • Receiving and participating

    • Verbal receiving

    • Doing

    Correct Answer
    A. Doing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doing" because simulation of a real experience involves actively engaging in the activity rather than just observing or receiving information. In this case, the individual is actively participating and experiencing the simulated scenario firsthand, which aligns with the concept of "doing."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    E-learning has its roots in the behaviorist approach to education. Learners are conditioned to produce appropriate responses to questions, and rewarded for doing so (like Pavlov's dogs!) by being allowed to view the next screen.Which of the statements below exhibits a behaviorist view? 

    • One with affective and cognitive needs

    • Information constructor

    • Passive, responds to environmental stimuli.

    Correct Answer
    A. Passive, responds to environmental stimuli.
    Explanation
    The statement "Passive, responds to environmental stimuli" exhibits a behaviorist view because it suggests that learners are passive recipients of information and their responses are shaped by external stimuli in the environment. This aligns with the behaviorist approach which emphasizes conditioning and rewards for appropriate responses.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The topic for classroom discussion: GRAVITY.   Which of the following would give the least understanding about the subject matter?

    • Motion pictures

    • Audio/recordings/photos

    • Text/verbal symbols

    • Dramatized experiences

    Correct Answer
    A. Text/verbal symbols
    Explanation
    Text/verbal symbols would give the least understanding about the subject matter of gravity because gravity is a concept that is best understood through visual representations and real-life experiences. Text/verbal symbols alone may not effectively convey the physical aspects and effects of gravity, such as the force of attraction between objects or the way it influences the motion of celestial bodies. Motion pictures, audio/recordings/photos, and dramatized experiences would provide more concrete and visual explanations, allowing for a better understanding of the topic.

    One of the following activities has a greater involvement of students than the rest.  Which activity calls for a greater learner participation?  

    • Watching a movie

    • Seeing it done on a location

    • Viewing an exhibit

    • Watching a demonstration

    Correct Answer
    A. Seeing it done on a location
    Explanation
    Seeing it done on a location involves greater learner participation because students have the opportunity to observe and experience the activity firsthand. They can actively engage with their surroundings, ask questions, and interact with the people involved in the location. This allows for a more immersive and interactive learning experience compared to simply watching a movie, viewing an exhibit, or watching a demonstration, where students may have limited or no direct involvement.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Determine the activity: Field Trip

    • Visual receiving

    • Receiving and participating

    • Verbal receiving

    • Doing

    Correct Answer
    A. Receiving and participating
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "receiving and participating" because a field trip typically involves both observing and engaging in activities. Participants receive information through visual and verbal means, such as listening to a guide or reading signs, and they also actively participate in the trip by exploring the field, asking questions, and interacting with the environment. This answer encompasses both aspects of receiving information and actively engaging in the activity.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which of the following has a least learner involvement?

    • Watching a demo

    • Watching a movie

    • Participating in a discussion

    • Simulating a real experience

    Correct Answer
    A. Watching a movie
    Explanation
    Watching a movie requires the least learner involvement compared to the other options. When watching a movie, the learner is typically a passive observer, simply absorbing the content without actively participating or engaging in any discussions or simulations. In contrast, participating in a discussion involves active engagement, sharing ideas, and interacting with others. Simulating a real experience also requires active participation and hands-on learning. Therefore, watching a movie is the option with the least learner involvement.

    The following are statements which indicate benefits of educational technology.  Which is considered to be the LEAST of its advantages?

    • Student motivation

    • Easy-to-access learning materials

    • Wider learner participation

    • Subjects are made easier to learn

    Correct Answer
    A. Easy-to-access learning materials
    Explanation
    Easy-to-access learning materials are considered to be the least of the advantages of educational technology. While it is important for students to have access to learning materials, the other options have more significant benefits. Student motivation is improved through the use of educational technology, as it can make learning more engaging and interactive. Wider learner participation is also facilitated, as technology allows for collaborative learning and communication. Additionally, educational technology can make subjects easier to learn by providing interactive and personalized learning experiences.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    What kind of acquisition in learning can be gained from films, audio materails, field trips, and photos? 

    • Cognitive skills

    • Information

    • Motor skills & attitudes

    Correct Answer
    A. Cognitive skills
    Explanation
    Films, audio materials, field trips, and photos provide learners with visual and auditory stimuli that engage their cognitive processes. These mediums present information in a dynamic and interactive way, allowing learners to process and analyze the content. By watching films, listening to audio materials, going on field trips, and examining photos, learners can develop their cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and memory retention. They can also acquire new knowledge and understanding of various subjects through these sensory-rich experiences. Therefore, the correct answer is cognitive skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Modern education tends to favor a learner-centered, constructivist approach to learning in which learners create an internal model of reality based on their experiences.Which of the following statements describes a constructivist? 

    • One with affective and cognitive needs

    • Information constructor

    • Passive, responds to environmental stimuli.

    Correct Answer
    A. Information constructor
    Explanation
    A constructivist is described as an information constructor. This means that they actively engage in the process of constructing their own understanding and knowledge by organizing and interpreting information based on their own experiences and prior knowledge. They are not passive learners who simply respond to environmental stimuli, but rather take an active role in constructing their own internal model of reality. Additionally, constructivists recognize and value the importance of both affective (emotional) and cognitive (thinking) needs in the learning process.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which of the following has a greater learner involvement?

    • Giving a talk

    • Participating in a discussion

    Correct Answer
    A. Giving a talk
    Explanation
    Participating in a discussion has a greater learner involvement compared to giving a talk. In a discussion, learners actively engage with the topic, share their thoughts and ideas, ask questions, and interact with other participants. This promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of the subject matter. On the other hand, giving a talk involves one-way communication, where the learner primarily focuses on delivering information without much opportunity for interaction or active engagement from others.
