Use the following information for items 97-101.

 

Roxana Mendez pours water into one transparent plastic drink cup and an equal amount of alcohol into another identical cup. She then drops an ice cube into each cup, and to the students’ surprise, since they didn’t know that one of the cups contained alcohol, the cube floats in the first (the water) and sinks in the second (the alcohol).

Smiling at their uncertainty, Roxana says, “Today, our task is going to be to figure out what is happening here.  First, what do you notice? . . . Larry?”

“The ice is floating there (pointing at the first cup), but it isn’t there (pointing at the second).”

“What else?” Roxana continues. “. . . Brigitte”

“Both the liquids look the same.”

“Yes, they do,” Roxana nods.

Roxana then continues questioning as she did with Larry and Brigitte, guiding the students to conclude that the liquids in the cups must be different.

As the lesson comes to closure, Gary whispers to Edna, “Mrs. Mendez really digs this stuff,” and Edna nods in agreement.

He returns the quizzes the day after they’re given and spends several minutes discussing the frequently missed items.

a.modeling.

b.expectations.

c.personal teaching efficacy.

d.feedback.

 

  104.The value for student motivation of Sam commenting, “You’re improving all the time,” and “You’re getting to the point where you really understand this stuff,” is best explained by which of the following theories?
