Question

Darlene and geoff are both taking math classes at westgate high school. darlene is in a class where her teacher is constantly doing"hands on" projects with the class. geoff's teacher simply lectures and assigns homework. who is more likely to exhibit formal operational thinking?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: Darlene

Formal operational thinking is distinguished by the ability to think about an abstract concept and implement it in order to solve a certain problem. This could be shown in Darlene's method of teaching which seems to be based on a concept that students are much more likely to understand the subject if the teacher directly involved in the process.
