listeningFair's Fair Quiz (Form 1)Memory Adventure: From Learning to Forgetting Imagine Alex is preparing for a school science fair. Storing Memories (2.5) Alex studies a science experiment. The semantic memory (facts and knowledge, like âwater boils at 100°Câ) is stored in the brain, while episodic memory (personal experiences, like âI mixed vinegar and baking soda yesterdayâ) records the event. The hippocampus (the brainâs âsave buttonâ) helps transfer these memories into long-term memory. During sleep, memory consolidation (making memories stable and long-lasting) happens, and Alex vividly remembers the fun surprise when the mixture fizzesâa flashbulb memory (emotionally strong, vivid memory). Alex also learns the skill of carefully pouring liquids, a procedural memory stored in the basal ganglia, and how to react when the mixture splashes, a conditioned response stored in the cerebellum. Emotions make the memory even stronger, thanks to the amygdala. Retrieving Memories (2.6) The next day, Alex goes to the science fair. Seeing the experiment table triggers priming (unconscious memory activationâseeing the table makes Alex remember steps). Being in the same classroom helps context-dependent memory (better recall in the same place as learning). Alex is also in the same excited mood as while practicing, so mood-congruent memory helps remember details of the experiment. When listing the steps, Alex remembers the first step clearly and the last step best, thanks to the serial position effect. Using strategies like quizzing himself earlier (testing effect) and spacing study sessions (spacing effect) improves retrieval. Forgetting & Memory Errors (2.7) During the fair, Alex tries to remember an old trick learned last year, but some details are fuzzy. This is retroactive interference (new memories block old ones). At the same time, old steps from last year sometimes confuse him, an example of proactive interference (old memories block new info). Alexâs friend jokingly says he added glitter to the experiment last week. Alex later misremembers seeing glitterâthis is the misinformation effect. He even forgets where he first learned the correct steps, a case of source amnesia, and feels a strange sense of dĂŠjĂ vu when looking at a similar experiment table. Unfortunately, Alexâs cousin has anterograde amnesia (cannot form new memories) and can only remember things from before last year, while his neighbor has retrograde amnesia (loses past memories) and cannot recall last weekâs fair prep. Luckily, Alexâs strong study habits, sleep, and emotional engagement helped protect his memories from being forgotten too quickly.RPMS Quiz: Quality vs. Efficiency 1. A teacher spends five hours creating a highly interactive digital game for a single 40-minute lesson. This is an example of prioritizing: ⢠A) Quality over Efficiency ⢠B) Efficiency over Quality ⢠C) Administrative Competence ⢠D) Resource Management ⢠Hint: The focus is on high-level engagement, but the time investment is very high. 2. Which of the following best describes "Efficiency" in the context of the RPMS? ⢠A) Submitting all MOVs and reports on or before the deadline with minimal errors. ⢠B) Ensuring 100% of students pass the quarterly examination. ⢠C) Creating the most aesthetically pleasing portfolio in the department. ⢠D) Conducting home visits for every single student in a class of 50. ⢠Hint: Look for the option that emphasizes timeliness and resource use. 3. Using a "template" or a "reusable slide deck" for lesson planning is a strategy to improve: ⢠A) Efficiency ⢠B) Instructional Diversity ⢠C) Subject Matter Mastery ⢠D) Classroom Discipline ⢠Hint: Templates reduce the time spent on repetitive formatting. 4. If a teacher provides detailed, personalized feedback to every student but submits the grades two weeks late, they have achieved: ⢠A) High Quality, Low Efficiency ⢠B) Low Quality, High Efficiency ⢠C) High Quality, High Efficiency ⢠D) Low Quality, Low Efficiency ⢠Hint: The work itself is excellent, but the timing is poor. 5. Which tool improves Efficiency without sacrificing the Quality of assessment data? ⢠A) Automated Google Forms for multiple-choice quizzes. ⢠B) Giving everyone a passing grade to save time on checking. ⢠C) Writing long paragraphs of feedback on 200 paper-based essays. ⢠D) Skipping assessments entirely to finish the syllabus faster. ⢠Hint: Look for a balance where technology handles the "busy work." 6. When discussing Quality in your RPMS portfolio, which "Means of Verification" (MOV) is most appropriate? ⢠A) Sample of student work with constructive teacher comments. ⢠B) A logbook showing you arrived at school at 7:00 AM daily. ⢠C) A certificate for attending a 1-hour webinar. ⢠D) A photo of your organized teacher's cabinet. ⢠Hint: Quality is evidenced by the impact on student learning. 7. The concept of "Doing the right things" (Effectiveness) represents: ⢠A) Quality ⢠B) Efficiency ⢠C) Speed ⢠D) Compliance ⢠Hint: "Doing the right things" is about results; "Doing things right" is about process. 8. How does "Efficiency" help a teacher maintain "Quality" in the long run? ⢠A) It prevents burnout by optimizing workload, leaving energy for creative teaching. ⢠B) It allows the teacher to take more side jobs. ⢠C) It ensures the teacher never has to talk to parents. ⢠D) It proves that the teacher is smarter than their peers. ⢠Hint: Consider the relationship between teacher well-being and performance. 9. If a teacher's RPMS rating for Quality is 5 (Outstanding) but Efficiency is 2 (Fair), what is the most likely reason? ⢠A) The teacher produces excellent work but often misses deadlines. ⢠B) The teacher is very fast but makes many mistakes in their reports. ⢠C) The teacher is both slow and produces poor results. ⢠D) The students are failing despite the teacher being very organized. ⢠Hint: Check the gap between the high-standard output and the slow delivery. 10. What is the ultimate goal of balancing Quality and Efficiency in the PPST-RPMS? ⢠A) To achieve sustainable professional excellence that benefits the learners. ⢠B) To get a higher salary increase only. ⢠C) To impress the School Head during the observation. ⢠D) To finish the school year with the least amount of work possible. ⢠Hint: It's about long-term growth for both teacher and student. ________________________________________ Answer Key: 1.

"Please, MĂŁe, por favor!" Maria begs. MĂŁe speaks Portuguese. This is the language of Brazil. "No matter how much you beg or plead, you must go to practice. The parade is next week." "It's not fair," says Maria in English. MĂŁe does not know a lot of English. Maria is surprised when she asks, "What is not fair about going to practice? You must do the right thing." "Ana invited me to her house," Maria answers. "I want to go!" Pai says, "Maria, the parade is important. People from around the world come to see it. They try our food, see how we dress, and how we live. It is a chance for us to share our culture." "I know but I really want to see Ana," says Maria. Pai says, "Maria, you can see Ana another time. They are giving out costumes at practice today." Maria thinks about her father's words. Pai is right. She and the other children have worked hard for a year. They practiced their dance steps over and over. They even made their own bright colorful costumes. "You're right," Maria says to her father. "I'll go to practice. I'll tell Ana I cannot visit her." One week passes. Lots of people line the streets. The children in Maria's group are wearing their sparkling costumes. They know each dance step. They dance to the beat. The crowd moves aside as they make their way down the street. When the crowd moves away, Maria sees a woman with a camera. She is hurrying. The woman scurries by Maria. She puts her camera to her eye. Maria smiles from ear to ear. She is excited to be in the parade. Click! The woman takes a picture of Maria. Maria is proud of her hard work!
