READING COMPREHENSION
SELECTION I
Jean Piaget, the word famous Swiss Development psychologist and epistemologist is the
researcher who has done most for our understanding of children’s thinking. His work and
research suggests that the ability to think develops in several noticeable stages. All children go
through these stages in the same fixed order but not everyone moves through the stage at the
same time. Also, depending upon a child’s exposure and life experience, some children may
think in one stage in certain situations and think in a different stage for other things.
Elementary school teachers in multi-grade classroom work with children who are in the
broad overlapping stages.Intuitive though from 4 to 7 years old; concrete operations, from
about 7 to 12 years old; formal operation, from about 12 years on.
Intuitive thought describes how four to seven years old operate mentally, they typically
use their sense impressions or intuition earlier than logic in forming judgements. They also find
it hard to remember more than one thing at a time.
Concrete operational children, on the other hand can do much logical thinking. Their
handicap is that the ideas they consider must be tried to concrete materials they can
manipulate. Or, at the very least, they must have such first-hand experience with the materials
to think about them.
17. In the stage of formal operations, children are able to think much more abstractly, there
is far less need to refer to concrete objects. With experience similar to adults, they can handle
formal logic, that, is the use of the same mental operational as adults.
109. The best title for the passage would be:
a. The Characteristics of School Children
b. The Stages of Formal Operations
c. The Stages of Cognitive Development
d. The Contributions of Jean Piaget
110.The stages of cognitive development of the children reflects:
a. Varied characteristics and learning styles of children
b. 7 to 12 years old School Children learn better than 4 to 7 years old children
c. Multi-grade instruction is not feasible to handle
d. Structure classroom setting is most ideal
111.As elementary school teachers, you are mainly working with children who are;
a. Of different abilities and interest
b. In the intuitive, concrete and formal operational stage of mental growth
c. In the concrete and formal operational stage of mental growth
d. D. of multi-faceted talents and intelligences
112. Jean Piaget also disclosed that:

experiences

113. The following statements are true except:

b. Children should not be made to sit still and to listen to or observe others as the
primary means of learning
c. The development of their brain power is fixed at birth
d. The role of experience and active learning is critical in generating growth and change.
SELECTION II
The role of the teacher has also evolved over time depending upon what is already
known or understood about children. The description of the learner has certain implication for
the role of the teacher in the classroom.
In the past, when children’s minds used to be perceived as “blank slates” or empty cups
which would be filled up by the environment (consisting of people, events and places
surrounding the child) with knowledge, the role of the teacher knowledge.As such the teacher
was often more concerned about what the needs. The focus was more on the knowledge, the
content of the curriculum rather than the learners themselves.
18. But, this is out dated thinking. It has long shown through research that children’s minds
are not like empty cups or blank pieces of paper to be filled up with knowledge by the adults
around him or her. Instead children learn from experience and they are active constructors or
builders of knowledge. They are not passive recipients of information. They process the
information that they receive from their environment through different sources and means;
then they try to understand this using this skills and abilities that are on hand at a particular age
or stage of development.
114. The best title for this passage would be:
a. The Teacher
b. The Varied Roles of Teacher
c. The Old and New Roles of A Teacher

116. The insight can be drawn include:
a. Teaching Methods should be learner’s based
b. Teaching Methods should be based on knowledge and content
c. Teaching Methods should adapt learners abilities , skills and interest
d. A child centered classroom is always the best
117. From the selection. Which best described the role of a teacher?
a. As an evaluator
b. As a classroom Manager
c. As an observer
d. As a Facilitator
118. The evolving role of a teacher means that:
a. Teachers in 1960’s are not good as teachers of the 21st century
b. The shift of the teachers from a transmitter of knowledge to a facilitator of
knowledge
c. Children’s mind are no longer “blank slate” nowadays there is an evolution of the role
of teacher in the teaching-learning environment
SELECTION III
With consultation with people from the bureau of Elementary Education and various
regional and divisional offices, the Department of Education had identified five key
performance indicators by which to track the progress of student achievement from grade I to
II. These indicators are non-readers (NRs), non-numerates (NN’s), mean percentage scores
(MPS), teacher effectiveness (TE) and school head effectiveness (SHE).
19. The NR and the NN indicators show the level of pupil learning through their mastery of
basic reading and numeracy skills, measured by the MPS. The TE, on the other hand, shows the
effectiveness of school administrators or heads in instructional leadership and administrative
management.
TEEP (Third Elementary Education Project) defines non-readers in Grade I as pupils who
cannot orally read a text, based on the beginner’s book in English and in Filipino, while non-
readers in Grade II and III are those who cannot orally read with comprehension, based on the
standard text for the specific grade in English and Filipino
On the other hand, Grade I non-numerates cannot add two or these one-digit numbers
which sum up to 18 and cannot subtract one to two digit without from two to three digit
numbers with minuends up to 900, with and numbers which sum up 9,000 and cannot subtract
two to three digit numbers up to four addends which sum up to 900,000 and cannot subtract
three to five digit numbers from four to six digit numbers with minuends up to 900,000, with
and without regrouping.
