Who was the first principal of the New Era Educational Institute? = Dr. Dolores Garcia 9. The following are the NEU goals except for? = 10. Who among the following says that educational psychology is the study of educational growth and development? = Stephens 11. When was New Era College granted University Status by the Commission of Higher Education? = June 30, 1995 12. What was the name of the institute when it initially offered secondary education at building? = NEEI 499 Carlos Palanca St. (Echague) Quiapo Manila --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. This learning occurs when we are capable of acquiring new information and relating it to past experiences. This is because this cognitive learning approach teaches us to build transferable problem-solving skills that can be applied in other areas. = Cognitive Learning Social learning theory suggest that, students can learn through: 14. Mr. X required his grade 4 students to participate a daily recitation of multiplication table, what learning strategy he is using? = Drills 15. Mr. Y is teaching history, he used the question as stimulus and answer as a response, gradually getting harder with question to help students, what strategy he is using? = Question and Answer 16. The following are the major points of classical conditioning except, Ivan Pavlov used dog in his experiment, while B.F. Skinner used _____ in his experiment? = Ratttt 17. He was possibly the first man to be called an educational psychologist in the modern sense of the term because of his revolutionary ‘laws of learning’. = Edward Thorndike 18. It is the reinforcement of successively closer approximations of the target behavior. = shaping 19. It is the gradual withdrawal of prompts or cues that guide the performance of a complex Behavior. = Fading 20. Intrinsically motivated behaviors are performed because of the sense of personal satisfaction that they bring. = true 21. You are studying now because you want to get a college degree to make yourself more marketable for a high-paying career or to satisfy the demands of your parents. What kind of motivation you have? = Extrinsic 22. This theory asserts that people develop their attitudes when there is no previous attitude due to a lack of experience and the emotional response is ambiguous by observing their own behavior and concluding what attitudes must have caused it. = Self Perception Theory 23. Student praise is one of the most effective ways of increasing positive behavior. Giving behavior-specific praise that identifies what the student has done correctly is a powerful strategy for increasing good behavior. = Positive Reinforcement 24. It refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments. = self-efficacy 25. Which of the following does not cover important topics in educational psychology? (situational) 26. Educational psychology concerned primarily with understanding the process of: = study of behavior of learner in relation to his education. 27. Educational psychology has also developed objective methods of collection of data, understanding, predicting and controlling human behavior. This nature falls on: = Educ Psych is a Science 28. It is the application of psychological principles in the field of education. This nature falls on: = Educational Psychology 29. Educational psychologist studies human being and their sociability. This nature falls on: = Educ Psych is a Social Science 30. Educational psychologist conducts his investigations, gather data and reach his conclusion in exactly the same manner as physicist and biologist. This nature falls on: = Educ Psych is a Natural Science 31. Who among the following experts defines, Psychology as the scientific study of human behavior and human relationship? = Crow and Crow 32. What is the primary goal of research in educational psychology? To get facts about learning behaviour rather than opinions. To get good information so that the learner can be guided. 33. Which research method is commonly used in educational psychology to gather in-depth data about a small group or individual? = Case Studies 34. Which of the following cognitive abilities is typically developed during the concrete operational stage (7-11 years)? = 35. In Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development, what does the "Zone of Proximal Development" (ZPD) refer to? = the range of tasks that a learner can perform with the guidance and assistance of a more knowledgeable person (such as a teacher or peer) but cannot yet accomplish independently. It occurs through social interaction and scaffolding, where support is gradually removed as the learner gains competence. It emphasizes the importance of providing appropriate challenges to facilitate cognitive growth. 36. What is a key difference between Piaget's and Vygotsky's views on cognitive development? = Piaget emphasized individual discovery and stages of development, while Vygotsky focused on the role of social interaction and cultural context in learning, highlighting the importance of guidance from more knowledgeable others. 37. Which of the following best defines constructivist learning theory? = People actively construct their own knowledge through experiences and interactions, emphasizing the importance of prior knowledge, social context, and active engagement in the learning process. 38. In constructivist learning, the teacher’s role is primarily to: = act as a facilitator, guiding students in their active engagement and helping them construct their own understanding. 39. Which of the following is an essential component of constructivist learning? Learning is an active process All knowledge is socially constructed All knowledge is personal Learning exists in the mind 40. What is scaffolding in the context of constructivist learning? Temporary support: Given by teacher or expert to assist learning. Builds on prior knowledge: Helps learners reach higher levels. Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): Supports tasks learners can do with help. Gradual removal: Fades as learners gain independence. Promotes deeper understanding: Fosters independent problem-solving. 41. Which of the following strategies aligns with a constructivist approach to teaching? = Critical thinking, collaboration, Engagement 42. In constructivism, learning is seen as an active process. Which of the following best illustrates this? Hands-On Engagement Collaborative Learning Problem-Solving Reflective Thinking The second notion is that learning is an active rather than a passive process. The passive view of teaching views the learner as ‘an empty vessel’ to be filled with knowledge, whereas constructivism states that learners construct meaning only through active engagement with the world (such as experiments or real-world problem solving). Information may be passively received, but understanding cannot be, for it must come from making meaningful connections between prior knowledge, new knowledge, and the processes involved in learning. 43. Which educational concept is emphasized by constructivists for promoting deep understanding? (Situational, aralin ang constructivism) 44. Which of the following best describes a constructivist classroom? To provide experience with the knowledge construction process (students determine how they will learn). To provide experience in and appreciation for multiple perspectives (evaluation of alternative solutions). To embed learning in realistic contexts (authentic tasks). To encourage ownership and a voice in the learning process (student centered learning). To embed learning in social experience (collaboration). To encourage the use of multiple modes of representation, (video, audio text, etc.) To encourage awareness of the knowledge construction process (reflection, metacognition). 45. It is reinforcing individual responses occurring in a sequence to form a complex behavior. = Chaining 46. Verbal words such as “Good job” and “I know you can do it” are typical example of reinforcement known as: = Praise 47. The unconditioned stimulus is one that unconditionally, naturally, and automatically triggers a response. = TUMPAK PAKAK 48. It assumes that infants are born with species-specific reflexes. Infants are born with a “blank slate” mind. = Tabula Rasa 49. Behaviors resulting in favorable consequences are likely to be repeated, whereas those behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences are less likely to be repeated. This was proven by using cat in an experiment, placing them in puzzle boxes from which the cats learned to escape, at first accidentally, then later by repetition of a favorable consequence. = Thorndike's Law of Effect 50. This principle in behavioral learning is useful in defeating undesirable classroom conduct or social relationships if the reinforcement for learned behaviors is removed. = Extinction 51. It is one of the major components of social cognitive theory and it is the process of learning others’ desirable and undesirable behaviors through observation. = Observational Learning 52. This theory explains how the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of a person interact with each other. = CBT 53. Which is not a component of cognitive learning? = Cognitive Learning: the ability of the brain’s mental processes to absorb and retain information through experience, senses, and thought which is known as cognition. 54. In this type of learning, our interactions with other people always teach us some precious life lessons. = Social Learning/Social Interaction 55. In this type of learning, it mainly involves imitation of skills from colleagues, superiors and significant others that may influence us in improving ourselves. = Observational Learning/ Modeling 56. Working and learning in groups is the typical characteristic of this type of learning and being encourage in many institutions. = Collab Learning 57. Learning happens when we actively seek new knowledge by researching new concepts, processes, and subjects. = Active Learning 58. In experimental research, what is the purpose of the control group (hindi nakakareceive ng manipulation) ? Isolates the Effect of the Independent Variable: By keeping all conditions the same except for the independent variable, researchers can directly attribute any differences in outcomes between the experimental and control groups to the independent variable. Controls for Confounding Variables: Helps ensure that other variables do not influence the results, enhancing the study's internal validity. Establishes a Point of Reference: Provides a standard against which the effects of the experimental treatment can be compared, making it easier to see if and how the treatment makes a difference. Ensures Reliability: Increases the reliability and credibility of the findings by demonstrating that the results are due to the treatment and not other factors. 59. What is the main advantage of using random assignment in educational psychology research? = Eliminate Bias 60. Which of the following research designs allows researchers to study cause-and-effect relationships? = Experimental 61. A researcher studying the effects of praise on student motivation manipulates the amount of praise given to different groups of students. What is the independent variable in this experiment? = Praise 62. In educational psychology research, which ethical consideration is MOST important when working with human subjects? = Minimax ? 63. Who is considered the pioneer of cognitive development theory? = Jean Piaget 64. According to Piaget, which stage of cognitive development occurs between birth and 2 years of age? = Sensorimotor 65. Which of the following is not a major positive effects of cognitive learning? Enhances critical thinking skills Improves problem-solving abilities Boosts memory retention Increases understanding and application of knowledge Fosters independent learning Enhances creativity and innovation Builds transferable skills for various contexts Encourages lifelong learning habits Strengthens analytical and logical reasoning Promotes self-regulation and metacognitive skills 66. It states that learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior. = Social Learning Theory 67. What are the two important processes in Bandura's social learning theory about behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions? = Observational Learning, Self Efficacy 68. This learning happens when we intentionally seek knowledge to attempt and learn a new skill or process that may be vital to our work. = Intentional Learning
