Teachers should know the characteristics of children at a given age or stage, because at each stage of development the child has a characteristic way of viewing the world and explaining it to himself. Stages of development (choose the odd-one-out)
A. Becoming aware: Children are only aware of events, objects, people, or concepts.
B. Neglecting: Children begin the process of figuring out the components or attributes of events, objects, people, or concepts.
C. Inquiring/questioning: Children develop an understanding of commonalities across events, objects, people, or events.
D. Applying and using: Functional level of learning where children can apply or make use of their understanding.
C. Inquiring/questioning: Children develop an understanding of commonalities across events, objects, people, or events.
This stage does not fit the pattern of becoming aware, neglecting, and applying and using. The odd-one-out would be C. Inquiring/questioning because it does not directly relate to the process of figuring out components or attributes, which is a key aspect of the other stages listed.
