Question 2
A child has built a large block structure in his Head Start center. He now places two blocks upright and tries to make a bridge across them using a third block. He selects a block of the wrong length to make the bridge, however, and his structure topples. He tries again and again with this block, always getting the same result. A teacher moves over to him and says, What if you tried a different block? Which block would be the right length? The child thinks about this question, selects a longer block, and successfully completes the bridge. This is a good example of a teacher intervening:
a. through the use of cognitive dissonance.
b. to facilitate accommodation when concepts are beyond the child's level of mastery.
c. too quickly, thus depriving a child of an opportunity for internal construction.
d. within the zone of proximal development.
