Educational Technology Topic 2

Which of the following best describes the Cognitivist approach to learning?

• Learning occurs through reinforcement and punishment.

• Learning happens through active mental processing and organization of knowledge.

• Learning is a passive process where knowledge is absorbed without interpretation.

• Learning is solely determined by external stimuli.

In the Three-Stage Information Processing Model, which memory stage is responsible for retaining information permanently?

• Sensory memory

• Short-term memory

• Long-term memory

• Working memory

What is an example of a cognitive strategy that helps students retain information?

• Punishment for incorrect answers

• Using mnemonic devices like "PEMDAS" in math
  
  

• Providing rewards for completing tasks

• Repeating the same lesson multiple times without changes

A teacher encourages students to use concept maps to connect ideas from different lessons. Which learning theory supports this practice?

• Behaviorism

• Connectionism

• Cognitivism

• Constructivism

A student is solving a complex math problem by applying previously learned arithmetic skills. Which cognitive principle is at work?

• Knowledge transfer

• Reinforcement

• Classical conditioning

• Law of effect

Which learning theory is based on observable behavior and external stimuli?

• Constructivism

• Cognitivism

• Connectionism

• Behaviorism

What learning principle is applied when students receive a badge for completing an online quiz?

• Operant conditioning

• Classical conditioning

• Law of primacy

• Mnemonics

Which of the following is an example of negative reinforcement?

• A student gets a star for good behavior.

• A student gets a deduction for submitting work late.

• A student avoids getting detention by completing their homework.

• A student receives immediate feedback on a test.

Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning experiment demonstrated that:

• Behavior is shaped by reinforcement and punishment.
  
  

• Learning occurs when a response is conditioned to a stimulus.

• Learning is an active process of constructing knowledge.

• Repetition strengthens memory retention.

A teacher gives immediate feedback on a student’s quiz response to help them correct their mistakes. This is an example of:

• Behaviorism

• Cognitivism

• Connectionism

• Constructivism
