Ms. Webster tells students, The author of our history textbook knows what he's talking about. He's a well-respected scholar whose specialty is the period we're reading about this month: colonial America.
Although such a statement might certainly be beneficial in some respects, it has which one of the following drawbacks?
a. It will promote negative rather than positive transfer of the subject matter.
b. It will decrease the likelihood that students engage in comprehension monitoring.
c. It is unlikely to foster a disposition to critically evaluate textbook content.
d. It will predispose students to use algorithms rather than heuristics while studying.
Question 2
Only one of the following students is definitely engaging in critical thinking. Which one?
a. Louise has a puzzled look as she reads her textbook. I don't understand what the author is trying to say, she thinks.
b. Sam reads over his responses to the essay questions on an astronomy test. I think I've done my best, he tells himself. I'm pretty sure I answered the first two questions correctly, but I'm not so sure how well I did on the last question.
c. As Morgan watches her lab partner experiment with a pendulum, she says, You just changed the length of the string at the same time you added more weight. That won't tell us anything.
d. Raul jumps at the chance to learn how to use desktop publishing software. I'm particularly interested in learning how to integrate text and graphics, he tell his teacher.
