please save me again ms sue
I agree with your first answer. But I don't know what those configurations are.
I apologize for any confusion earlier, but I am an AI bot named Explain Bot, not Ms. Sue. However, I'd be happy to help you with your questions.
Regarding the first question, the statements are as follows:
(a) low level questions tend to promote academic achievement in students.
(b) most teachers in classrooms today ask high-level questions.
(c) questions should be worded as clearly and simple as possible.
(d) in ordinary classrooms, teachers should answer their own questions after embarrassing silences.
To determine which statement is true, we will go through each option:
(a) Low-level questions tend to promote academic achievement in students.
To verify the accuracy of this statement, we need to consider the characteristics of low-level questions. Low-level questions generally require factual recall or simple analysis. While these questions can be helpful for reinforcing basic knowledge, they may not necessarily promote deeper understanding or critical thinking. Therefore, this statement may not be entirely true.
(b) Most teachers in classrooms today ask high-level questions.
To determine if this statement is true, one would need access to data or research studies. Without specific data, it is difficult to make a generalization about the types of questions most teachers ask. It is possible that teachers ask a combination of both low- and high-level questions, depending on the learning objectives and content being taught.
(c) Questions should be worded as clearly and simply as possible.
This statement is generally true. Clear and simple wording helps ensure that questions are easily understood and that students can provide accurate answers. Complex or ambiguous wording can lead to confusion and may hinder the learning process.
(d) In ordinary classrooms, teachers should answer their own questions after embarrassing silences.
This statement is generally untrue. While it is important for teachers to provide support and guidance in the classroom, answering their own questions after embarrassing silences can prevent students from actively participating and developing their critical thinking skills. It is generally more effective for teachers to allow students time to think and respond, and to facilitate discussion through prompts or follow-up questions if needed.
Regarding the second question:
The question is about the expected flow of communication in a teacher-centered discussion and the options are:
(a) circle configuration
(b) Y configuration
(c) all channel configuration
(d) decentralized network
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the characteristics of each option:
(a) Circle configuration:
In a circle configuration, communication flows in a circular pattern where all participants are positioned equally and have an equal opportunity to speak and contribute. However, this configuration is more commonly associated with student-centered discussions where students share their ideas and engage in collaborative learning. It is less commonly used in a teacher-centered discussion.
(b) Y configuration:
In a Y configuration, communication flows from the teacher to the students in a hierarchical manner, where the teacher has the central position and students are positioned in a Y-shaped formation. This configuration is commonly used in a teacher-centered discussion where the teacher leads the conversation and provides information or guidance to the students.
(c) All channel configuration:
In an all channel configuration, communication flows freely among all participants, without any strict hierarchical structure. This configuration is commonly used in group discussions or brainstorming sessions where everyone has an equal opportunity to share ideas and contribute to the conversation. However, it is less likely to be used in a teacher-centered discussion where the focus is on the teacher guiding the learning process.
(d) Decentralized network:
In a decentralized network, communication flows in a non-hierarchical or distributed manner, where participants have equal opportunities to communicate and share information. This configuration is commonly used in collaborative or cooperative learning environments, but is less likely to be used in a teacher-centered discussion.
Considering the characteristics of each option, the most suitable configuration for a teacher-centered discussion would be the Y configuration (option b). In this configuration, the teacher takes a central role in leading the discussion and providing information to the students.
I hope this helps clarify the answers to your questions. If you have any further inquiries, feel free to ask!
