49
Q

Handling Student Violence in Writings/Artwork

A

If a student’s writing or artwork shows signs of violence, the teacher should first discuss the content privately with the student to understand their intent. If a threat is evident, the teacher must report it to school administration. The situation should also involve school counseling and intervention services to address underlying issues.

50
Q

The concept of “in loco parentis,” meaning “in place of parents,” gives schools the responsibility to act as caregivers during school hours. Teachers must ensure student safety while respecting their rights, such as avoiding unreasonable searches, balancing authority with legal protections.

51
Q

Cognitive Style

A

Field-dependent learners thrive in group settings and rely on external structure, while field-independent learners prefer working alone and focusing on details. For example, if you are field-dependent, you may find group projects and guided instruction helpful, while a field-independent approach suits those who prefer self-paced, independent tasks.

52
Q

Five Approaches to Multicultural Education

A

The five approaches to multicultural education include the contributions approach, additive curriculum, and social action, among others. The social action approach is particularly appealing as it promotes student engagement in real-world issues. Teachers can implement this by integrating cultural perspectives and encouraging students to create projects addressing social change.
