Question | Answer |

Q: What kind of support do students often need to learn new concepts? | A: Support such as contextualization, breaking down concepts, practice, repetition, and experience to generalize a concept. |
Q: Does a student's ability to repeat a concept indicate true understanding? | A: No, memorizing a concept does not mean understanding it. True understanding is shown when a student can answer questions spontaneously or demonstrate comprehension. |
Q: Is understanding a concept the same as being able to talk about it? | A: No, but being able to talk about a concept often helps a student understand it better. |
Q: What is the goal of education? | A: The goal of education is for students to acquire thinking skills, not just to memorize facts. |
Q: How are students similar to scientists? | A: Students are like little scientists, exploring and figuring out how the world works through what they see, do, and hear. |
Q: How do students learn from mistakes? | A: Students learn a great deal from exploration, making mistakes, and self-correction. |
Q: What does a behavioral approach to learning propose? | A: Positive behavior can be increased with positive reinforcers, and negative behavior can be decreased through punishment or withdrawal of privileges. |
Q: What does strict behaviorism fail to recognize in learning? | A: Strict behaviorism does not recognize the active cognitive construction that occurs within the student. |
