Questioning is one of the most important essential teaching skills. Characteristics of effective questioning include high frequency and equitable distribution of questions, prompts when students cant answer, and sufficient time for students to think about their answers.

1. Assess the extent to which Sue applied the principles of cognitive learning theory in her lesson. Include both strengths and weaknesses in your assessment. 2. Assess the extent to which Sue applied the human memory model in her lesson. Include both strengths and weaknesses in your assessment.

The human memory model is the cognitive architecture that one can use to describe how people gather, organize, and store their experiences. The model designates where knowledge is constructed and where prior knowledge is stored until needed for new knowledge construction.

1. Self-worth theory suggests that all people have the need to protect their sense of self-worth. Since our culture values high ability, people are motivated to protect the perception that they have high ability. 2. Explain how learners beliefs can influence their motivation to learn.

A register contains an 8 bit binary data. It is required to complement the three lsbs only. Suggest the datapath hardware (out of the following list) where it can be carried out and identify the sequence of the microoperations involved: (a) Arithmetic unit (b) Logical unit (c) Shifter (d) Register file (e) Internal bus B. Scratch pad registers are not addressable by instructions. The following […]

A computer program repetedly does the following tasks: read a 4 KB block from the hard disk, process the data and generate a 4 KB block, and store the new block on the disk. The program is fully dedicated for the above tasks without any overlap between the I/O operations and processing. The processing task takes 10 million clock cycles and the processor clock rate […]

1. For centuries, people believed that the Earth was the center of our solar system. Which of the four characteristics of constructivism is best illustrated by this historical fact? Explain. 2. You want your students to use grammar rules correctly in their writing. Describe a real-world context that would be most effective for helping them reach the objective.

A microcomputer is based on the INTEL 8080 microprocessor which has 64 KB memory space. The microcomputer has 128 KB physical memory. Guess the technique that would be used by the microcomputer designer to double the memory supported by the microprocessor. Note that the 8080 does not support virtual memory.

1. Emphasis on sociocultural theory, communities of learners, cognitive apprenticeships, and situated cognition are all outcomes of the influence of social constructivism on instruction. 2. Identify characteristics and applications of constructivist learning theory.

A processor has 4 KB of instruction cache and 4 KB of data cache both on-chip. The manufacturer finds a batch of 10000 processor ICs to be selectively defective. In 5000 ICs, the instruction cache is functionally missing. In the remaining ICs, the data cache is functionally missing. All the processor ICs have no other defect except for this problem. Throwing away the entire lot […]

A. Which of the following is recorded in profit and loss appropriation account? (a) Interest on capital (b) Interest on bank loan (c) Salaries to partner (d) Both (a) and (c) B. Interest on drawings by partner is transferred to (a) Trading account (b) Profit and loss account (c) Profit and loss appropriation account (d) None of the above C. From the following information, prepare […]

A computers cache memory follows write-through policy. The access time of the main memory is 100 ns whereas that of cache memory is 20 ns. The hit ratio for read access is 0.9. One-fourth of the memory cycles are for write and the rest for the read operations. Calculate the following: (a) Hit ratio including both read and write cycles. (b) Effective access time of […]

A. Depletion method is more suitable for (a) Service industry (b) Mining industry (c) Intangible assets (d) All of the above B. In case of SLM, the amount of depreciation (a) Fluctuates every year (b) Decreases every year (c) Increases every year (d) Remains same every year C. Amortisation is related to (a) Tangible fixed assets (b) Intangible Fixed assets (c) Any Fixed assets (d) […]

1. Most strains of Chlamydomonas (Fig. 5-1) are sensitive to streptomycin (see Example 13.25). A strain is found that requires streptomycin in the culture medium for its survival. How could it be determined whether streptomycindependence is due to a chromosomal gene or to a cytoplasmic element? 2. Ayeast (Fig. 6-4) culture, when grown on medium containing acriflavine, produces numerous minute cells that grow very slowly. […]

1. Explain how learners beliefs can influence their motivation to learn. 2. Explain differences in the ways learners with entity views of intelligence and those with incremental views of intelligence will respond to difficult tasks and the possibility of failure. 3. Using Kathy Brewsters conversation with Harvey on page 284, cite a specific example where she emphasized utility value in learning.

A.A memory location contains 1100001011110010. Find the decimal value of this binary word if it represents the following: (a) Unsigned integer (b) 1s complement integer (c) 2s complement integer (d) Signed magnitude integer B. Perform following arithmetic operations in binary using 2s complement representation: (a) (+ 43) + ( 25) (b) ( 43) ( 25) (c) (+ 43) + (+ 25) (d) ( 43) + […]
