CHD 3243 Exam 3
Constructivist approach - correct answer ✔learner-centered approach which
emphasizes the importance of individuals actively constructing their
knowledge and understanding with guidance from the teacher. Students
should be encouraged to explore their world, discover knowledge, reflect, and
think critically with careful monitoring and meaning guidance from the teacher.
May include an emphasis on collaboration.


Direct Instruction approach - correct answer ✔Structured, teacher-centered
approach that is characterized by: teacher direction and control, high teacher
expectations for students' progress, maximum time spent by students on
academic tasks, efforts by the teacher to keep negative affect to a minimum.
An important goal is maximizing student learning time.


Accountability - correct answer ✔-Since the 1990s, the US public and
governments at every level have demanded increased accountability from
schools. One result has been the spread of state-mandated tests to measure
just what students had or had not learned. This approach became national
policy in 2002 when the No Child Let Behind (NCLB) legislation was signed
into law.
-Advocates argue that statewide standardized testing will have a number of
positive effects, including improved student performance. Critics argue that
the NCLB legislation is doing more harm than good. Common Core State
Standards Initiative was endorsed by the National Governors Association in
2009 in an effort to implement more rigorous state guidelines for educating
students.


Transition to middle or junior high school - correct answer ✔-The transition to
middle or junior high school can be difficult and stressful for many students.
-The transition takes place at a time when many changes- in the individual, in
the family, and in school- are occurring simultaneously.
-Transitioning students experience the top-dog phenomenon.

,-The transition is less stressful when students have positive relationships with
friends and go through the transition in team oriented schools in which 20-30
students take the same classes together.
-There can also be positive aspect of the transition.


improving middle schools - correct answer ✔In 1989 the Carnegie Council
on Adolescent Development issued an extremely negative evaluation of US
middle schools, Turning Points: Preparing American Youth for the Twenty-
First Century.
The conclusion was reached that: most young adolescents attend massive,
impersonal schools, learn from seemingly irrelevant curricula, trust few adults
in school, and lack access to health care and counseling.


The American high school - correct answer ✔Many high school graduates
are not only poorly prepared for college, they are also poorly prepared for the
demands of the modern, high performance workplace. The national research
council made a humber of recommendations for improving US high schools:
especially emphasized was the importance of finding ways to get students
more engaged in learning. the council said urban high schools are too often
characterized by low expectations, alienation, and low achievement.


high school dropouts - correct answer ✔-Dropping out of high school has
been viewed as a serious educational and societal problem for many
decades.
-Vary by ethnicity and gender. Highest dropouts by latinos, males more than
females, higher in urban cities.


Causes of dropping out - correct answer ✔School related problems are
consistently associated with dropping out of school. students from low income
families are more likely. Low parental involvement. friends who drop out. 1/3
of girls drop out for pregnancy or marriage.

,Reducing the dropout rate - correct answer ✔A review of school based
dropout programs found that the most effective programs provided early
reading programs, tutoring, counseling, and mentoring. they also emphasize
the importance of creating caring environments and relationships and offered
community service opportunities. Early detection of children's school related
difficulties, and getting children and youth engaged with school in positive
ways, are important strategies for reducing the dropout rate.


transition from high school to college - correct answer ✔the transition
parallels the transition from elementary to middle in many ways: replays the
top dog phenomenon. involves a move to a larger more impersonal school
structure. interaction with peers from diverse geographical and sometimes
more diverse ethnic backgrounds. increased focus on achievement and
performance and their assessment. the transition can have positive aspects.


Changing social developmental contexts - correct answer ✔The social
context differs at the preschool, elementary, and secondary level. in preschool
and elementary school, the classroom is the major context. as children move
into middle or junior high schools, the school environment increases in scope
and complexity. the social field is the school as a whole rather than the
classroom. the student in secondary schools is usually aware of the school as
a social system and may be motivated to conform and adapt to the system or
to challenge it.


classroom climate and management - correct answer ✔one effective
strategy for creating positive classroom enviornments is to use the
authoriative strategy. it encourages students to be independent thinkers and
doers but still involves effective monitoring. the authoritative strategy contrasts
with two ineffective strategies:
Autoritarian strategy: of classroom management: restrictive and punitive, with
the focus mainly on keeping order rather than on instruction and learning.
Permissive: strategy of classroom management: offers students considerable
autonomy but provides them with little support for developing skills or
managing their behavior.

, Well managed classroom - correct answer ✔-fosters meaningful learning but
also helps prevent academic and emotional problems from developing. keeps
students busy with active appropriately challenging tasks. Has activities that
encourage students to become absorbed and motivated and learn clear rules
and regulations.
Secondary school students' problems can be more long standing and more
deeply ingrained, therefore more difficult to modify, than those of elementary
school students


Teachers - correct answer ✔Competent teachers of adolescents have a
good understanding of their development and know how to create instruction
materials that are appropriate for the developmental levels of the adolescents
in their classroom. Positive teacher traits and dimensions: enthusiasm, ability
to plan, poise, adaptability, warmth, flexibility, and awareness of individual
differences.
Effective teacher practices/strategies: develop caring classroom communities,
enhance students motivation to learn, plan and deliver engaging, assessment
driven instruction, support students deep processing and self regulation skills


person environment fit - correct answer ✔-Some of the negative
psychological changes associated with adolescent development might result
from a mismatch between the needs of developing adolescents and the
opportunities afforded them by the schools they attend.
Eccles argues that a lack of fit between the middle/junior high environment
and the needs of young adlescents produces increasingly negative self
evaluations and attitues toward school.


Family management - correct answer ✔practices are positively related to
grades and self-responsibility and negatively to school-related problems.
maintaining a structured and organized family environment includes:
establishing routines for homework, chores, bedtime, etc. high expectations
for achievement.
