1. I agree.
2. I disagree.
3. I strenuously object to this question!
Whoever wrote it is ignorant of the fact that Asia is a huge continent with hundreds of different cultures from Turkey, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Tajikistan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, and China -- plus many more countries.
Hey Ms. Sue thanks for responding!
Sorry that you are offended about the question number 3. It's wasn't me that wrote it.
So I see that you disagree with the 2nd answer, can you explain?
what about 3 is my answer correct?
Sure, let's go through your answers!
1. People who unite to form a microculture around a physical condition (such as the deaf community) might reject the term "disabled" in reference to themselves because they:
a. think of their condition as primarily a cultural or linguistic difference
b. equate disability with punishment for violating social or religious taboos
c. believe that the label creates underserved guilt feelings on the part of parents/guardians
d. believe that many so-called "able" people are more disabled than they are
You chose (d) - believe that many so-called "able" people are more disabled than they are.
The correct answer is (a) - think of their condition as primarily a cultural or linguistic difference. People who form microcultures around physical conditions often see their condition as a unique culture with its own values, language, and identity. They may reject the term "disabled" because they view their condition as a cultural or linguistic difference rather than a disability.
2. An early learning center that emphasizes "product" over "process" would:
a. threaten most mainstream children
b. be child-directed, reflecting self-selection of activities and materials
c. ignore the principles of developmentally appropriate practice
d. harmonize with non-mainstream values and practices
You chose (b) - be child-directed, reflecting self-selection of activities and materials.
The correct answer is (c) - ignore the principles of developmentally appropriate practice. An early learning center that emphasizes "product" over "process" prioritizes the final outcome or result rather than focusing on the learning process itself. This approach goes against the principles of developmentally appropriate practice, which emphasizes the importance of process-oriented learning experiences that are aligned with the developmental abilities and interests of children.
3. An Asian parent may not emulate the early childhood teacher's practice of praising her son for his accomplishments because:
a. praising the child might bring him bad luck
b. the parent believes that the absence of criticism is itself an appropriate form of praise
c. the child does not wish to be singled out.
d. no one has explained to her the positive benefits of this mainstream teaching strategy
You chose (b) - the parent believes that the absence of criticism is itself an appropriate form of praise.
The correct answer is (a) - praising the child might bring him bad luck. In some Asian cultures, there is a belief that excessive praise or expressing too much pride in a child's accomplishments might bring them bad luck or attract envy from others. This cultural belief may influence an Asian parent's decision to not emulate the early childhood teacher's practice of praising her son for his accomplishments.
It's always a good idea to double-check answers with reliable sources or reference materials, but I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
