ms sue thanks
Some of these questions are really stupid. <g>
I agree with your first answer.
Again -- I don't know what those configurations are.
What's the difference between c and d in your last question?
When giving directions to students, it is important to provide clear and effective guidance. Let's evaluate the options to determine which guidelines should be followed:
(a) "Don't allow students to choose the activity; make all decisions yourself": This option suggests a teacher-centered approach, where the teacher selects all activities without considering students' preferences or interests. This approach does not promote student engagement or autonomy, so it is not a recommended guideline.
(b) "Require students to find their own background information and necessary materials": This option promotes independent learning and research skills, which is beneficial for students. However, it does not specifically address giving directions, so it may not be a direct guideline for that purpose.
(c) "Permit questions about the assignment": This option emphasizes the importance of allowing students to seek clarification and ask questions regarding the directions. This guideline is crucial to ensure students' understanding and provides an opportunity for teachers to address any confusion. Out of the options given, this is the most suitable answer.
(d) "Write the assignments on the board and don't allow questions": This option restricts students from seeking clarification or asking questions, which may hinder their understanding. It is not advisable to follow this guideline, as it limits student engagement and learning.
Therefore, the recommended guideline to follow when giving directions to students is to permit questions about the assignment.
Now let's move on to the next question about teacher-centered discussions and how communication flows:
(a) "Circle configuration": This configuration refers to arranging seats in a circular pattern, where all participants face each other. It encourages open discussion and equal participation, but it does not specifically relate to teacher-centered discussions.
(b) "Y configuration": This configuration arranges the seats in a shape resembling a Y, with the teacher positioned at the branch and students seated in rows extending from the branch. This setup places the teacher at the center of attention, making it more suitable for a teacher-centered discussion. This is the correct answer.
(c) "All-channel configuration": This configuration involves placing desks or seats in a circular pattern, allowing all participants to face each other. It promotes equal participation and collaboration, but again, it does not specifically relate to teacher-centered discussions.
(d) "Decentralized network": This term refers to a communication structure where participants are connected in a non-hierarchical network. It encourages open communication and exchanges of ideas, which is opposite to a teacher-centered discussion.
Therefore, the expected communication flow in a teacher-centered discussion is the "Y configuration" where the teacher is positioned at the branch of the Y, and students are seated in rows extending from it.
Finally, let's address the terminology related to the interval of time between asking a question and receiving a student's response:
(a) "Call-out": This term generally refers to drawing attention to an individual or asking someone to answer a question. However, it does not specifically describe the interval of time.
(b) "Redirecting": This term implies guiding or steering someone's attention or focus elsewhere, but it does not relate to the timing of responses.
(c) "Wait-time 1": This term describes the duration of time a teacher waits for students to respond after asking a question. It is common practice to allow an appropriate wait-time of around three to five seconds to allow students to process the question and formulate a response. "Wait-time 1" is the correct answer.
(d) "Wait-time 11": This specific term, "Wait-time 11," is not typically used in educational settings or discussions.
Therefore, the interval of time between asking a question and receiving a student's response is referred to as "wait-time 1," which is the correct answer.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the guidelines for giving directions to students, the expected communication flow in a teacher-centered discussion, and the terminology related to response time. Let me know if you have any further questions!
