What do these terms mean
31、 and how can these terms help you choose a preschool? Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschools “educational philosophy”. While educational philosophies are numerous and their definitions are not set in 6 stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of t
32、he most popular philosophies. The Montessori Method Focuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another. The Reggio Emilia A
33、pproach This approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration. The Waldorf Approach This approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and
34、 analytical thought. The Bank Street Approach This approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world. The High/ Scope Approach This approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning. Children are taught
35、 to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success of their plan and brainstorm ideas for the next day. Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference between other common early childhood terms will help you make i
36、nformed decisions regarding your childs education. 51. If a pre-school stresses each childs learning progress, it may employ _. A. The Reggio Emilia Approach B. The Montessori Method C. The Bank Street Approach D. The Waldorf Approach 52. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A.
37、The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves. B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same. C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools. D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philoso
38、phy. (B) Before 1815 producing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans(工匠 ). As master craft workers, they passed on the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. In addition, women often worked in their homes part time, making finished articles from r
39、aw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of producing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated(刺激 ) the shift
40、 to factory production. The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship(工艺 ) gave way to the pressure to increase rates 7 of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of ti
41、me. Factory life necessitated a more rigid schedule, where work began at the sound of a bell and workers kept machines going at a constant pace. The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mil
42、l worker who finally quit complained revealingly about “obedience(服从 ) to the ding dong of the bell just as though we are so many living machines”. With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community. In this newly appearing economic order, workers sometimes organized t
43、o protect their rights and traditional ways of life. Craft workers such as carpenters, printers, and tailors formed unions, and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National Trades Union. The labor movement made progress in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that fo
44、llowed, labors strength collapsed. During hard times, few workers were willing to strike or engage in collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agita
45、tion(抗议 ) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850s, and the courts also recognized workers right to strike, but these gains had little immediate impact. Workers were united in feeling angry or upset about the industrial system and their loss of status, but th
46、ey were divided by ethnic and racial antagonisms(对立 ), gender, conflicting religious perspectives, occupational differences, political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics(策略 ). For them, the factory and industrialism were not agents of opportunity but reminders of their loss of independe
47、nce and a measure of control over their lives. As United States society became more specialized and differentiated, greater extremes of wealth began to appear. And as the new markets created fortunes for the few, the factory system lowered the wages of workers by dividing labor into smaller and less
48、 skilled tasks. 53. What can be inferred from the passage about articles produced before 1815? A. They were primarily produced by women. B. They were generally produced in shops rather than in homes. C. They were produced mostly in large cities with large transportation networks. D. They were produced with more concern for quality than for speed of production. 54. What does the compla
