Part 2
DRILL is used for mastery learning, especially for bodily-kinesthetic activities.

To develop logical reasoning among senior students, the best process to do it is TO LET THEM FORM
AND PROVE HYPOTHESES.

The ability to know without being frustrated by ambiguous ideas is called TOLERANCE.

The ability to know without being distracted by irrelevant ideas is called CONCENTRATION.

A POSITIVE CORRELATION means a direct relation

while a NEGATIVE CORRELATION means an inverse relation.

Movements, posture, facial expression, etc. are classified as NON-DISCURSIVE COMMUNICATION.

A SCORING RUBRIC is the most reliable tool to determine the student’s ability to write.

An ANALYTIC RUBRIC is the best tool for self-assessment.

To determine performance level on a specific skill, use a CRITERION-REFERENCED TEST.

To determine whether a student performed better or worse than the rest of the class, use a NORM-
REFERENCE TEST.

In a positively skewed distribution, most of the students got LOW SCORES.

In a negatively skewed distribution, most of the students got HIGH SCORES.

VALIDITY means measuring what needs to be measured.

RELIABILITY means consistency of results.

The most reliable/stable measure of variability is STANDARD DEVIATION.

The most reliable/stable measure of central tendency without presence of extreme scores is MEAN.

TEACHER’S GENEROSITY = a teacher has a tendency to give high grades to a specific student as
compared to other students.

NUMERICAL/LETTER GRADE = perceived to be the absolute measures of intelligence.

CORRELATION STUDY (connection) is required in Concurrent validity (Ex: connecting present exam to
past exam).

Percentage is for CRITERION-REFERENCED as Percentile is for NORM-REFERENCED.

Median is for POINT/FOCUS as Standard Deviation is for DISTANCE/SPREADNESS.

Experiential activities belongs to a CHILD-CENTERED CURRICULUM.

Curriculum is the WHAT IN TEACHING.
Instruction is the HOW IN TEACHING.

If the materials do not match the intended learning outcomes, change the materials, NOT the
objectives..

Operant Conditioning is also called INSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONING THEORY.

SCAFFOLDING means from guided practice to independent practice.

The word teacher refers to:

 Elementary and Secondary teachers
 Full-time and Part-time teachers
 Industrial arts and other Vocational teachers
 Supervisor and Administrator of school

It is required to take the Professional Oath-taking before practicing profession, but it is NOT required
to take the Mass Oath-taking.

The study of the CONSTITUTION is part of the curricula.

Techniques to develop sensory-motor learning:

 Direction  Drill
 Demonstration  Imitation

Married teacher couples, who are both in public school teaching, should be employed in the same
locality.

SPARTA influenced the present military training in the school curriculum.

STUDENT FEEDBACK = client-based; most directly helpful in introducing changes in school services.

THE GREAT DIDACTIC (Comenius)

“Let the main object of this, our Didactic, be as follows: to seek and to find a method of
instruction by which teachers may TEACH LESS, but learners may LEARN MORE.”.
