Practice Questions

Q1. A teacher finds that some learners need a worked example before independent practice, while others can start after reading the instruction. Which plan is most suitable?

A Make the worked example compulsory for everyone and cancel independent work.
B Give no example because some learners can start without it.
C Give the example only after the final test.
D Provide the worked example as optional support and let ready learners begin independently. Correct

Explanation

Option D is correct because optional support addresses readiness differences without holding back learners who can begin independently. The other options impose one route on all or delay support too much.

Q2. A learner connects a lesson example with a custom from his community. Which teacher response is most suitable?

A Stop him because community examples should never enter the classroom
B Call the example inferior without asking for an explanation
C Use the example only to mark that community as different from others
D Invite a brief explanation and connect it respectfully with the learning objective Correct

Explanation

Community background can shape classroom connections. The teacher should use such examples respectfully and keep them tied to the objective.

Q3. In a classroom with learner differences, fair teaching mainly means:

A Giving exactly the same support in exactly the same way to every learner
B Using only one task so comparison is easier
C Lowering the learning goal whenever a learner needs help
D Keeping the common objective while adjusting the route and support Correct

Explanation

Option D is correct because fairness means a meaningful chance to learn, not identical treatment. The common objective stays the same while the route, materials or support can change.

Q4. Assertion: A learner who needs more support should always receive a lower learning goal. Reason: Individual differences mean the same objective can be reached through different routes and supports.

A Both statements are true, and the reason explains the assertion.
B Both statements are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion.
C The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
D The assertion is false, but the reason is true. Correct

Explanation

Option D is correct because the first statement wrongly lowers the goal, while the reason correctly states that support can vary without changing the objective. This distinction is central to fair teaching.

Q5. In a map activity, the teacher notices that some learners assume boys should draw maps and girls should write notes. Which response best respects individual differences?

A Accept the division because it saves class time
B Make drawing compulsory only for boys and note-writing compulsory only for girls
C Rotate roles and discuss that ability and interest should not be fixed by gender Correct
D Cancel the activity and ask everyone to copy the textbook silently

Explanation

The official boundary includes gender as a basis for understanding individual differences. A teacher should avoid stereotypes and give learners fair chances to try different roles.
