Li, Jose, and Sam are in tenth grade. They have been assigned a group research project. Jose is happy because he learns best whe
n is given the freedom to research his favorite topics and then can bounce ideas off of others. Sam is annoyed because he feels that he is far ahead of his classmates. He would prefer to do the project by himself since he knows he would get a good grade. Li likes working in the group, but worries that the group will never be able to agree. She wants to split the project up so that there is one person in charge of each section of the project. What learning theory does Jose subscribe to?
So what do we know about Jose? we know two things: 1) he likes to choose his own topic (but he will have to compromise with others here) and he likes to learn with - and from - others.
Learning with - and from- other is known under the name of "Social learning theory" - generally "social" means "with/ from other people". For example, social cognition is the ability to interact with others and living with them and understanding others.
<em>Biostratigraphy </em>is the method that is used to provide an estimate of age for this layer and this species. Biostratigraphy is a branch of stratigraphy. It focuses on assigning relative ages to rocks to similar stratigraphic layers that may be located hundreds of kilometers away by using the fossils contained in the stratus.
I agree with the answer above, A and B are definititly not true, and D was abit if-fy. C and E however were pretty clear choices to be right answers. So I would go with C and E.
