Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

In authoritarian leadership, the leader makes decisions for the group. In situational leadership, levels of direction and support vary according to the level of maturity of the employees or group. Transformational leadership focuses on preparing people for change. Laissez-faire leadership is nondirectional, is characterized by inactivity or passivity, and is permissive with few commands, questions, criticisms, or suggestions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Theories relate concepts by using definitions that state significant relationships between concepts. A conceptual framework is a group of related concepts that provides an overall view or orientation to focus thoughts. A graphic illustration of a conceptual framework is a conceptual model. A specific outline of curriculum topics and contents is a topic outline.
