Answer to Question 1

Cognitive apprenticeships are similar to traditional apprenticeships in that novices work alongside more knowledgeable others to acquire skills. The more knowledgeable individual models the skill and provides scaffolding for the novice as he or she develops the skill. The difference is that traditional apprenticeships involved the development of physical skills, such as welding or plumbing, whereas cognitive apprenticeships involve cognitive skills, such as problem solving. Cognitive apprenticeships also more strongly emphasize other aspects of cognitive learning, such as verbalization of understanding.

Answer to Question 2

A novel example of cognitive apprenticeship could exist in any content area. A description of the expert and the novice should be included, and a suggestion how the situation could demonstrate modeling, scaffolding, verbalization, exploration, and increased complexity should be included in the response.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.
