The originator of the method we will be exploring in this chapter, Georgi Lozanov, believes, as does Silent Way’s Caleb Gattegno, that language learning can occur at a much faster rate than ordinarily transpires. The reason for our inefficiency, Lozanov asserts, is that we set up psychological barriers to learning: We fear that we will be unable to perform, that we will be limited in our ability to learn, that we will fail. One result is that we do not use the full mental powers that we have. According to Lozanov and others, we may be using only five to ten percent of our mental capacity. In order to make better use of our reserve capacity, the limitations we think we have need to be ‘desuggested.’ Desuggestopedia, the application of the study of suggestion

to pedagogy, has been developed to help students eliminate the feeling that they cannot be successful and/or the negative association they may have toward studying and thus to help them overcome the barriers to learning. One of the ways the students’ mental reserves are stimulated is through integration of the fine arts, an important contribution to the method made by Lozanov’s colleague Evelina Gateva. (Larsen-Freeman & Anderson 2011, 71)

Due to the popularity of teaching and becoming a teacher, only Finland’s best and most committed are able to realize those professional dreams. Every spring, thousands of Finnish general upper-secondary school graduates, including many of the most talented, creative, and motivated youngsters, submit their applications to departments of teacher education in eight Finnish universities. Thus, becoming a primary school teacher in Finland is highly competitive. It is normally not enough simply to complete upper-secondary school successfully and pass a rigorous matriculation examination. Successful teacher education candidates must also possess high scores, positive personalities, excellent interpersonal skills, and a commitment to work as a teacher in school. Annually, only about 1 of every 10 applicants will be accepted to primary school teacher education master’s programs in Finnish research universities. For example, 3,200 candidates applied to different teacher education programs at the University of Helsinki in 2013. Only 340 of them were accepted. The total annual Finnish applicants in all five categories of teacher education programs in eight universities that educate teachers number about 20,000. (Sahlberg 2015, 103)

21. What is the approximate acceptance rate for teacher education programs? (A) 1% (B) 9% (C) 10% (D) 90%

22. Each year, roughly how many students are accepted into Finnish teacher education programs?

(A) 340 (B) 2,000 (C) 10,000 (D) 20,000 23. According to the passage, which of the following skills are necessary to be a

Traditional assessment formats, such as multiple choice exams, often require students, either through processes of recognition or recall, to indicate what they have memorized. As such, traditional testing formats may be good measures of what students remember and often of how fast they can remember it; rarely, however, are they good measures of what students can do or of what they understand. But they could be. The question to keep in mind is this: What are students doing? Having a test or quiz in a classroom does not tell you whether the class is constructivist or not. You would have to look at the quiz or test to determine that. Does the test or quiz require student understanding? Does it require that students apply their knowledge? For example: “List the most important rules of capitalization” is a typical traditional test question and does not require understanding. On the other hand, “Create two sentences using two different rules of capitalization and then explain what the rules and uses are in your sentences” requires demonstration of student understanding. Tests and quizzes can be a combination of both traditional and constructivist formats. Using this combination might be a good way to make the transition for students. (Marlowe & Page 2005, 53)

26. Which of the following is a principle of constructivist assessment? (A) Being able to demonstrate understanding.

(B) Being able to remember successfully. (C) Being able to provide a list.

(D) Being able to remember things quickly.

27. Which of the following do traditional tests measure best? (A) What students can do.

(B) What students understand. (C) What students remember. (D) What students can create.

28. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

(A) Traditional test questions do not require demonstration of understanding. (B) Explaining rules and how they are used demonstrates understanding. (C) Tests can successfully measure understanding.

(D) Having a test in class indicates it is a traditional class. 29. Which of the following statements is correct?

(A) Tests can only be based on traditional assessment formats. (B) Tests can only be based on constructivist assessment formats.

(C) Tests cannot be based on either traditional or constructivist assessment formats. (D) Tests can be based on both traditional and constructivist formats.
