Which of the following is not a way to get children to be more creative Quizlet
Terms in this set (70)Although we are curious as small children, we tend to lose our curiosity by age 10. False The key to searching for causes of things is to be alert to significant situations or events that we cannot explain, especially when . . .
. . . reading the news or watching in on television. A controversy is a merely an issue about which uninformed people agree. False When we ask, "Why?" as a means of exercising our curiosity, it will almost always lead to further questions. Often, at least one of those questions will be . . . Why? Rather than trying to avoid disappointment, creative thinkers look at it as . . . ...an opportunity One strategy for being curious includes six techniques. Which of the following is not one of them? Recognize the dangers of controversy Which of these statements about recognizing the opportunity in controversy is false? When facts can be interpreted in more than one way, only one of the sides in the controversy is most likely to have the whole truth of the matter. Exercising curiosity is a passive activity wherein we allow life to act upon us. False Critical, creative thinking skills will not do us much good if we do not also develop a desire to use them. True Curiosity often manifests itself in how often we ask a single question: Why? True In most cases, people lose their curiosity for several reasons. Which of the following is not one of them? Today's books aim to stimulate thought rather than entertain us. As adults focus on asking and trying to answer a lot of "Why?" questions, they begin to see things through the heightened curiosity of a child's eyes. True The first step in manifesting curiosity as adults is to recognize that apathy and taking things for granted are natural characteristics - most of us were born that way - and we must acquire the ability to be curious. False People who struggle to come up with new ideas tend to be active rather than reactive in their approaches to creativity, imagination, and problem-solving. False When we regard our dissatisfaction as a challenge to our creativity rather than a nuisance, we begin to think about how we can improve the situation. True Rather standing idly by grumbling about everyday challenges, curious people . . . . . . ask not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country. People who struggle to think of new ideas often have creative thinking skills, but they fail to use them because they either do not know how or are too complacent to make the effort. True After we have taken a position on an issue, we become more flexible about that issue, especially if we have taken the time to analyze the issue thoroughly. False Our text suggests several guidelines for expressing problems or issues. Which of the following is not one of them? Move beyond the familiar and habitual. When we try to solve a problem before properly expressing it, we also . . . . . . fail to take the time to consider alternative ways of formulating the problem. Both problems and issues should be expressed as questions, and these questions are formulated in the same manner. False Refining our expression means replacing precision with vagueness and using general rather than specific words. False What is the key difference between a problem and an issue? A problem is a situation we regard as being unacceptable, while an issue is a matter about which intelligent, informed people disagree. Expressing a problem or issue should be done in writing. True When we ask, "Is . . . ?" "Does . . . ?" or "Should . . . ?" we do not seek simple factual answers; instead, we probe the central elements of dispute about the situation. True When we try to solve a problem before properly expressing it, it is usually because . . . . . . we believe the problem is self-evident. Keeping several lines of thought open as we address problems and issues helps us to avoid being narrow-minded and gives us the potential to produce ideas that are way ahead of their time. True Careful expression of problems or issues will encourage creativity as we move beyond the familiar, habitual ways we see and interpret the people, objects, or situations around us. True To solve a problem, we decide what actions will change the situation for the best; to resolve an issue, we decide which belief or viewpoint is the most reasonable. True "How can . . . ?" is the form most effective for expressing a(n) __________ . problem If our expression of a problem prompts a question that in turn creates an issue, we must address that issue immediately to solve the problem effectively. True Although we may disagree about which expression of the problem is best, we are in a better position to address that problem and seek a creative solution when we have expressed it repeatedly from different viewpoints. Why is that the case? A. Because considering many expressions of the problem will help us decide which belief or viewpoint is the most reasonable. B. Because each expression of the problem addresses a different avenue of thought that may help us solve the problem. C. Because each expression of the problem helps us to keep the problem from becoming an issue. D. Because each expression of the problem sparks partisan feelings that divide informed, intelligent people. E. All of the above. F. Two of the above. (NOT) G. None of the above. Because the forms "How can . . . ?" "Is . . . ?" "Does . . . ?" and "Should . . . ?" are so effective in helping us express problems and issues, other types of questions have little value and can be disregarded. False In which kind of investigation do we monitor and analyze an event as it happens in order to understand or improve it? observational study Unfortunately, there is no way to verify that a research review is reliable. False The conclusions we reach through observation are reliable as long as . . . . . . we observe the phenomenon in question long enough to know the event or behavior we witness is
representative of what we might expect to occur in similar circumstances. All of the above. (THIS ONE) As a source of investigative evidence, our own experiences may be more substantial or relevant than we realize, especially if we connect them to information we gather through other forms of research. True A professor on our campus can be considered an expert who can be interviewed for information on a given topic. True We can get the information we need to solve problems or resolve issues from a variety of sources, which are discussed at length in the text. Which of the following sources is not listed or discussed as a source of information to look for in Chapter 8? experiments Because experts know more about their fields than we do, an expert opinion is more reliable than most other information sources. Therefore, we can accept an expert opinion without further consideration - especially if the expert is famous. False People who dread going to the library usually don't know how to use it properly and fail to recognize it as a treasure chest of ideas and information for creative, critical thinkers. True A successful investigation finds information others have missed by probing in ways and places that less creative people failed to consider. True As we seek information, we should be skeptical of what we learn from other sources to the point that we ought not to accept most of it without first verifying its accuracy. This is true of all the sources listed below except one. Which is it? personal experience The primary challenge of using the Internet as a research source is deciding which stories we read are hoaxes and which ones are viruses. False A field experiment allows greater control over research conditions than a lab experiment. False Our text suggests that, when we draw on the personal experiences of people we know, we should remember several things. Which of the following is not among them? Shy, secretive people make better information sources than outgoing people. Which of the following statements about lab experiments and field experiments is true? A. Field experiments allow greater control of research conditions. B. Lab experiments do not permit very accurate predictions of cause-and-effect. C. It is unlikely that a researcher's biases will influence the outcome of a lab experiment. (NOT) D. Results of a field experiment can be trusted if that experiment has been replicated by a reputable researcher. E. Results of lab experiment cannot be trusted unless they are independent confirmed. F. All of the above are true. G. None of the above are true.
An experiment is a controlled research technique used to test the accuracy of the ways we predict or explain behaviors or phenomena. In most cases, it includes four basic steps. However, our text only discusses three of them. Which of the steps below is not discussed in our book? A. Formulate a prediction or explanation (called a hypothesis). B. Decide which behaviors or phenomena (called variables) can be observed, measured, rated, or scored. (NOT) C. Design the experiment in such a way that we can observe, measure, rate, or score the variables of interest as they interact with each other or other phenomena. D. Conduct the experiment and analyze the resulting data. Trusting the information in published reports is easier if that information is attributed to reliable sources and is documented in a footnote or endnote. True Eyewitness testimony is usually so reliable that, in most cases, we can take the person's word for it. False If we view it positively, dissatisfaction is a signal that . . . . . . disappointment is part of life. When we seek imperfection as a means of searching for creative challenges, that does not mean we aim to be chronically dissatisfied with life. It means we recognize how we can improve things. True Because everything in life is supposed to be perfect, we are justified in cursing the darkness instead of seeking to develop a new kind of light. False The smallest pebble thrown into a pond sends ripples in all directions. To the elephant bathing in the midst of the pond, those ripples are little more than a surface nuisance, but to a long line of ants crawling single-file along the pond's edge carrying food back the colony, they're a tsunami. What does this example illustrate? We should be sensitive to the implications of each challenge. If we took the time to think about it, most of us would be surprised at how much we know about familiar people, places, or things. False Children often lose their sense of curiosity because their parents grow weary of answering questions and tell them to shut up. True "Is . . . ?" and "Should . . . ?" are two of the forms most effective for expressing a(n) __________ . benefit Expressing a problem or proposing a solution to that problem in the wrong way can turn that problem into an issue. True Recognizing the central elements of dispute in an issue makes it more difficult to identify the primary points each side uses in its arguments. False If a situation sparks partisan feelings that divide informed, intelligent people, it is probably a problem. False Keeping more than one line of thought open is more important when dealing with problems than with issues. False Sometimes plagiarism is the result of intentional dishonesty; in other cases, it occurs because the plagiarist is careless or ignorant. No matter how it occurs, it is offensive because the plagiarist both steals and deceives. True Investigation is more important to solving problems than it is for resolving complex or controversial issues. False Our text suggests that, if we desire to conduct our own research to create new knowledge, we may do so by doing a survey of other students or conducting a scientific experiment. False For the most part, if we get the same results as our classmates, we have conducted a successful investigation. False As we encounter excellent ideas through research, we should abandon our own thinking and reasoning just because what we find comes from experts. False To be successful in investigating a problem or issue, we must be resourceful, original, and imaginative in our search. True Why should we resist the temptation to abandon our own thinking and reasoning, even in the face of seemingly solid research presented by experts? Even experts have biases that can taint their findings. We ought to look at the library as a formal meeting room where we conduct interviews about a given subject with all the authorities that would otherwise be unavailable to us. True As long as the people in a sample accurately represent a population, data gathered from a sample can be used to reach conclusions and make predictions about the population.
