Question 2

Shana Boer is teaching the concept arthropod to her students. She displays the definition, Arthropods are cold-blooded animals with an exoskeleton, three body parts, and jointed legs. She then shows students outline drawings of a lobster, a spider, a beetle, and an ant, telling the students that they're arthropods. Which of the following is the best assessment of her lesson as an application of the suggestions for classroom practice based on social influences on learning and the process of knowledge construction?
 
  a. It is consistent with the suggestions for classroom practice since she provided a variety of examples of the topic (her drawings of the arthropods).
  b. It is inconsistent with the suggestions for classroom practice, since she provided the examples instead of having the students find the examples for themselves.
  c. It is inconsistent with the suggestions for classroom practice, since understanding the concept arthropod isn't a real-world task and therefore shouldn't be taught.
  d. It is inconsistent with the suggestions for classroom practice, since she merely told the students that the examples were arthropods, and there didn't appear to be any discussion in the lesson.
