We Need Answers

Doing a 24 hour recall evaluation in class proved to be more challenging than I had originally anticipated. A couple days before conducting the recall in class, I reviewed the instructional material provided in the course documents. After reviewing and analyzing the protocol, I was certain that I would be competent when it came to administering a 24 hour recall during lab and in front of an audience. The day our classmates took on the role of our fictitious patient, I found myself at a lost for…

of them had very little responses. The reason why I have decided to choose young students is because my question for this project is, “Do boys and girls learn differently?” You may think that this is a very vague question however there are so many answers to it and in my paper I will discuss a few of them. First I would like to talk about the four students I have chosen. One of the main reasons why I choose each of my subjects is because they are all from different areas such as Staten Island,…

During this week’s reading assignment we were introduced to a “self-assessment” test (Bethel University, 2014). This test is geared towards teaching the student where his/her strengths and weaknesses may be as a student. To be perfectly honest, the first time reading this section I skimmed over it and did not pay it much attention. I simply looked over the questions, but did not take the time to answer them. While going back and actually setting a moment aside to answer them, I found the…

lesson, we talked about some of the vocabulary rules the students have gone over prior this lesson (with the actual classroom teacher). After this, I introduced the newest challenge – adding the “ing” and “ed” endings. I found that during this time, I talked for most of the time as I explained the “rules” of vocabulary, asking mainly closed-type questions. With the type of questions being asked during this time, there wasn’t much for student dialogue beyond the simple answers given. While we…

While most people growing up and attending school received the most recognition when they got correct answers, not questions. As life continues, this incentive continues. In a discussion between comedian Louis C.K. and the creator of the TED conference, Richard Saul Wurman, Wurman makes an interesting comment that, “In school, we are rewarded for having the answer, not for asking a good question. Which may explain why kids—who start off asking endless “why” and “what if” questions—gradually…

and simple answer. Growing up I came to realize that some of them weren 't always entirely correct or even necessarily true. But they would set a very important precedent in my life. And if you look around, society has undergone a similar phenomenon that is really not all that different…

her interaction with Nadia. Open ended questions are questions that do not evoke one or two words answer but with more information and detail (Lorina, 2015). To answer the open ended questions, children cannot simply response with “yes” or “no” (Lorina, 2015). Generally, open ended questions start with “Tell me”, “What”, “How” and “Why” which require children to provide a fuller and more depth answer (Lorina, 2015). In David’s interaction with his mother, multiple open ended questions can be…

worded and the possible answers that were listed. One of the questions where this occurred was in question 8 that asks, “Should the U.S. immigration laws be made stricter, looser, stay about the same, or are you uncertain?” This represents a questionnaire- related measurement error because this question does not provide all the answers that respondents may give, which forces them to chose an answer that they originally did not want to give. For this question I received an answer from a…

past few months, we have conducted an experiment studying how change blindness effects the short-term memory of students in our school. Change blindness is defined as, “the surprising difficulty observers have in noticing large changes to visual scenes” (http://psychology.about.com/od/cognitivepsychology/f/change-blindness.htm). It is a phenomenon that has gained national attention and bewilderment, and we decided to test it out on our fellow classmates to see how they fared. We began our…

and tell? Son: Good, mom. Mom: That's good, but what did you say in class? Son: About games. Mom: Did you teacher like your presentation? Son: Maybe. Mom: Are you hungry? Son: Yes. After this I thought his answers was enough for me, I wanted to know more but he went and gave me all short answers but now I know how what he did in his class.
