• Sensorimotor

• Preoperational

• Concrete Operational

• Exploration and active discovery

• Passive listening

• Memorization

The term "schema" in Piaget's theory refers to:

Bruner's theory emphasizes:

• Conditioning through rewards

• Learning through discovery

• Social reinforcement

• Habit formation

Bruner's "spiral curriculum" involves:

• Repetition of concepts at the same level

• Teaching foundational concepts first, revisiting them at increasing complexity

• Continuous evaluation without progression

• Immediate mastery of all topics

Bruner's modes of representation include:

• Experiential, conceptual, and behavioral

• Enactive, iconic, and symbolic

• Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic

• Sensory, motor, and abstract

Which statement aligns with Bruner's constructivist approach?

• Knowledge is transferred directly from teacher to student

• Students build understanding through personal experiences

• Learning depends on trial-and-error reinforcement

• Learning outcomes are predetermined

Bruner's theory stresses the importance of:

• Structured, teacher-driven instruction

• Peer feedback and competitive learning

• Scaffolding to support student learning

• Memorization and practice
