Chapter 1: Becoming an Effective Literacy Teacher

Chapter 1 Learning Outcome Quizzes Learning Outcome 1.1: Identify key characteristics of four different perspectives about learning.[Q1] When Pushpanjali was able to use five vocabulary words which were randomly given to her in sentences for the first time, her teacher responded with specific praise statements like “I like the way you were able to know the difference between ‘correct’ and

‘correlate.’” This is an example of:

• Behaviorism [CORRECT]
• Constructivism
• Sociocultural theory
• Situated learning theory

[Feedback for Answer Choice 1 (CORRECT)] Behaviorists believe that behavior can be learned because of stimulus-and-response actions and that reading can be viewed as a conditioned response. In this instance, the teacher was attempting to reinforce the target behavior with praise.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2] Constructivism describes active learning where new learning is integrated with what is already learned. Since there is no evidence the words were used in a larger context by Pushpanjali, this does not suggest Constructivism. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching.[Feedback for Answer Choice 3] Sociocultural theory describes reading and writing as social activities that reflect culture and community. Since there is no evidence of social activity it cannot be sociocultural theory. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching.[Feedback for Answer Choice 4] Situated learning theory rejects separating learning to do something from actually doing it and emphasizes the importance of apprenticeship, where beginners move from the edge of a community to the center. Since there is no evidence that the vocabulary words were not taught as part of a larger community it cannot be an example of situated learning. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching. 2 / 4

[Q2] Pushpanjali’s teacher gave her a list of five vocabulary words, and asked her to picture each word, alphabetize the words in her personal vocabulary notebook, use each word in a sentence, have her work checked by the teacher, and then revise any sentences where the words we used incorrectly. After she learned the five words in this way the teacher asked Pushpanjali to share how new words were best learned. This is an

example of:

• Strategic behaviors [CORRECT]
• Interactive models
• Transactional theory
• Behaviorism

[Feedback for Answer Choice 1 (CORRECT)] Strategic behaviors employ strategic or goal-oriented behaviors such as visualizing, organizing, and metacognition.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2] Interactive models emphasize a focus on comprehension and meaning construction using reader-based and text-based information. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching.[Feedback for Answer Choice 3] Transactional theory explains how readers create meaning based on a two-way transaction between the reader and the text. Readers negotiate their interpretation based on information they have about the text and about their world as they understand it. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching.[Feedback for Answer Choice 4] Behaviorism is focused on stimulus response, the response often being verbal praise.However, no response from the teacher is described in this problem. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 1: Effective Teachers Are Knowledgeable About Teaching.[Q3] Pushpanjali’s teacher is very focused on developing a successful classroom community.The teacher has gathered a collection of award-winning books which students use.Students work in four-member teams on group literacy projects. The projects are graded as A, B, C, and D and require that only one student can earn an A, only one can earn a B, only one a C, and only one a D to support a competitive atmosphere within the group. Which classroom community feature does Pushpanjali’s teacher use? 3 / 4

• Risk-taking and choice [CORRECT]
• Family involvement and safety
• High expectations and family involvement
• Safety and respect

[Feedback for Answer Choice 1 (CORRECT)] By encouraging students to explore new topics and choose books from a large collection the teacher exercises student choice. However, the competitive grading scheme is not only inappropriate as an assessment practice but will undermine community building.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2] There is no evidence of family involvement in Pushpanjali’s class and the competitive atmosphere may threaten comfort and trust which could contribute to safety. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 2: Effective Teachers Create a Community of Learners.[Feedback for Answer Choice 3] Although there is some evidence of high expectations by requiring original work, there is no evidence of family involvement. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the

section called Principle 2: Effective Teachers Create a Community of Learners.

[Feedback for Answer Choice 4] The competitive atmosphere poses challenges for safety and respect. If you had difficulty with this question, revisit the section called Principle 2: Effective Teachers Create a Community of Learners.[Q4] When students come to a word they don’t know, Pushpanjali’s teacher usually asks them to “sound out” the word. This suggests the teacher relies mostly on one kind of cueing system.

• Phonologic [CORRECT]
• Semantic
• Pragmatic
• Syntactic

[Feedback for Answer Choice 1 (CORRECT)] The phonological system is primarily concerned with sound.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
