Group No.: 1
Instructions: Read every question carefully. Answer the questions legibly,
clearly, and concisely. Good Luck!
TEST 1:
Competency: The learner distinguishes healthful from unhealthful foods
a. COGNITIVE – REMEMBERING The students will be able to recognize healthy and unhealthy foods. b. PSYCHOMOTOR – OBSERVING The students will be able to differentiate food from unhealthy food. c. AFFECTIVE – VALUING The students will be able to explain the positive effects of eating healthy food and the negative effects of eating unhealthy food.
TEST 2:
LAW OF EFFECT - This is regarded as the most crucial law according
to Edward Lee Thorndike. This law states that the succession of stimuli and responses is insufficient for students' learning to occur. Reinforcement is required for learning to occur. This is because when an act is followed by a reward, it is more likely to be repeated, and when it is followed by a punishment, the likelihood of repetition reduces. In addition, it states that if the responses please the subject, they are learned and selected, while those that do not are removed. As a result, teaching must be enjoyable. The teacher must respect his students' preferences and interests. In other words, the bigger the satisfaction, the greater the motivation to study. As a result, intensity is a crucial requirement of the 'law of effect.
LAW OF EXERCISE - The law of exercise states that exercising or practicing
the proper reaction helps to strengthen the link between the stimulus and the related response. The connections are reinforced by try or practice, according to Thorndike in S-R Bond Theory, and they are diminished when trial or practice is abandoned. As a result, the 'law of exercise' may alternatively be regarded as the 'law of use and disuse,' in which case connections or bonds formed in the cerebral cortex are weakened or loosened. There are several examples of this scenario in the area of human learning. Learning to drive a vehicle, typewriting, singing or remembering a poem or a mathematical table, and music, among other things, need a lot of practice and repetition of numerous movements and activities.
LAW OF READINESS - Thorndike's Law of Readiness states that learning
occurs when an action tendency is activated by a preliminary adjustment, set, or attitude. The term "readiness" refers to a state of readiness for action. If a person is not prepared to learn, learning will not be implanted in him. For example, until a typewriter prepares himself to begin typing, he will not make much progress in a slow and unprepared manner. To be successful in his learning, the learner must be prepared and in good physical shape. Readiness here must be both psychological and physical.
TEST 3:
When a teacher enters the classroom with no specific objectives in mind, he or
she is likely to be apprehensive and restless. The teacher would act awkwardly since he or she was not prepared for the lesson, and his or her teaching style would be chaotic. The lesson will have no direction, and the students will learn less about the lessons. The entire class will undoubtedly collapse. There will be no information acquisition, and the teacher will most likely blame himself/herself for failing to complete his/her lesson plan. It will lower the teacher's self-esteem and may go from one topic to another that isn't linked in the lesson.
