Question 2

Mr. Farinelli was always thought of as a bit unusual, even eccentric, by his fellow teachers. He would, for example, take time to time to talk to students in order to learn what their interests were and what their lives were like out of school. Whenever he asked a student to do something, the request would always be preceded by please and followed by thank you. He allowed students to make up exams they missed and to take an alternate form of an exam on which they had performed poorly. He used discipline as a last resort, preferring to use humor as a way to deal with disruptive students. On the basis of this description, Mr. Farinelli's approach to teaching is most consistent with

a. direct instruction.
b. behavioral theory.
c. humanistic theory.
d. several different but complementary theories of learning.
