Question 2

Of the following, which individual best illustrates creativity?

a. After seeing a TV character using a particularly clever phrase, Sancha uses the phrase with his friends, hoping to impress them with his wit.
b. Rick is making spaghetti for Suzanne, a girl he wants to impress. He has no way of straining the spaghetti until he sees a piece of screen-door screen, which he washes and then uses as a strainer.
c. Jerome's running shoes are starting to get smelly from sweat, so he washes them and then wears them for his run that afternoon even though they're still damp from the washing.
d. Dana decides to redecorate his room, so he removes his bed, puts his mattress on the floor, hangs fishing net from the ceiling, and puts in dim lighting to create a feeling of intimacy like his friend Bill has done.

Answer to Question 1

When basing instruction on social influences on learning and the process of knowledge construction, your role will become more demanding and sophisticated. You will guide your students to your learning objectives using questioning to help facilitate your students' construction of knowledge rather than simply lecturing to them and explaining the topics you're teaching. The traditional roles of planning your instruction carefully, and thoroughly assessing your students' understanding of the topics you're teaching will not change.
