Question 2
Three of the following teachers are likely to promote productive cognitive styles or dispositions related to classroom subject matter. Which teacher is unlikely to do so?
A) In discussions of literature, Mr. Green reminds students that although they may initially have diverse opinions about a novel's underlying theme, they should ultimately all agree on a single best way to interpret the novel.
B) When talking about the Battle of Normandy in World War II, Ms. Black describes in vivid detail how the Allied forces planned and carried out the invasion. As she talks, she also presents a few maps and many photos to illustrate what happened.
C) In helping an especially impulsive student get ready for an upcoming districtwide achievement test, Mr. Brown gives her a few practice sessions with multiple-choice questions. As you read each new question, he says to the student, tell yourself this: I must look at all four choices before I mark an answer. He then has her apply this strategy to many practice items.
D) When introducing a new unit about outer space in her science class, Ms. White says, Astronomers have found some truly fascinating things about the universe. You'll be especially amazed when we look at the nature of black holes. Imagine something with such a strong gravitational pull than even light can't escape it
