- Q1
Is observation enough to indicate students are on-task learning?
No. Teachers must use informal assessments to gauge learning behaviour with tasks.
No. Teachers must use formal assessments to gauge learning behaviour with tasks.
No. Teachers must use informal and formal assessments to gauge learning behaviour with tasks.
Yes. Teachers are able to determine learning by watching or recording the behaviour of students in group work.
Yes. Teachers are able to determine learning by simply watching how students behave with tasks.
30s - Q2
Does student behaviour indicate cognitive development?
Cognitive development can only be measured by the number of books a student reads.
Student behavior has no connection to their cognitive abilities; it’s purely random.
A range of indicators (memory, attention, social understanding, etc) help in assessing the cognitive development of children and can guide parents and educators in providing appropriate support and interventions.
Cognitive development is determined by the color of the classroom walls.
No. Student behavior is solely influenced by the weather.
30s - Q3
Does behaviour reflect understanding?
Always. Behaviour is a direct reflection of understanding.
Never. Someone might follow instructions without truly understanding them, or they might understand something but never act on it due to other factors like fear or social pressure.
Sometimes. Behaviour can be a learned response rather than a direct reflection of understanding.
30s - Q4
How can an observer or teacher know if the use of extrinsic motivators(reinforcement) is appropriate or desirable?
If the student wants a type of reinforcement.
Extrinsic motivators are always appropriate and desirable because they guarantee that students will perform well and stay motivated
If it meets the student's cognitive, social or behavioural needs.
If their parent demands a type of reinforcement to be used, and when it should be applied.
30s - Q5
Which is the incorrect answer to "Do rewards motivate students in learning content?"
Yes, rewards can enhance self-esteem and confidence: Receiving rewards for their efforts can help students feel proud of their achievements, which can, in turn, motivate them to continue striving for success1.
Yes, rewards can increase student motivation: Rewards can boost students’ interest and participation in classroom tasks and responsibilities, leading to increased engagement and effort in learning1.
No, rewards do not improve academic performance: By providing tangible incentives, students may be more likely to complete assignments and put in the effort needed to achieve better academic outcomes2.
30s - Q6
How can behavioural learning practices account for diverse cultural and social backgrounds?
Designing tasks for the whole class removes the need to help diverse perspectives and voices but assists students from different backgrounds feel included and respected.
Educators do not need to develop their cultural competence by learning about the cultural backgrounds of their students as they teach in Australia and understanding how these backgrounds will negatively influence learning behaviors and preferences.
Tailoring instruction to meet the diverse needs of students can help ensure that all students have access to learning opportunities.
