  1. Question #8

    Cumulative learning theory arranged by order

    1 discrimination learning
    2 concrete concept learning
    3 rules learning
    4 problem solving
    Sa reviewer ng PNU ganyan ang tamang pagkkasunod. Nacheck ko dn sa net. So yung answer a item#8 ay wala ing sagot dun. Tama po ba?

    1. I believe you are correct. I searched for it and found out that it really begins with signal learning and ends with problem-solving. Based on the options, the order should be disc. Concept. Rule. Prob.

  2. Bakit po ba C ang sagot ng number 11? ano po ang pagkakaiba ng Expectancy and Values Theory at ng Extrinsic Motivation?

  3. I mean Drive Theory po pala tsaka Expectancy. Tsaka po yung sa number 15 naman po, ano po kaibahan ng Extrinsic motivation at self-determination. number 11 kasi para sa akin Drive Theory ang sagot while sa number 15 ay extrinsically. pwede po paki explain kung bakit yan po ang sagot. Baka po kasi mali lang ako ng understanding sa stem question.

    1. ito rin naisip ko for 15 and 11! huhu someone pls explain

    2. For me po, the reason why Expectancies & Values Theory Theory ang sagot is because yung problem po ay nagpapakita ng dalawang behavior. Ito po yung meaning nag Expectancy-Value Theory giling google.


  4. ito naman ang masasabi ko sa question #8... kung sa heirarchy nag-uumpisa sa baba pataas dpat ganito ang arrangement


  5. bakit po A ang sagot sa number 3? Hindi ba dapat letter C kasi UCS + CS = (CR) conditioned response meaning desired response??

    1. hindi po pwedeng ipair ang CS sa UCS. Kung CS na kasi sya, automatic magkakaroon na ng conditioned response, kahit walang stimulus. Pero kapag NS + UCS, doon pa lang nagmabubuo yung CS which results to CR.

  6. #22 shouldn't it be "A"
    the teacher didn't give a more challenging task, the task was simply varied

    a. Concepts should be presented in varied and different ways
    b. Effort if put forth when tasks are challenging
    d. Learning is aided by formulating and asking questions

    1. definitely agree with you Ma'am.
