    The key takeaways are that Carol Brown aims to promote diversity and equality in her classroom through cooperative learning and ensuring socioeconomic diversity among student groups. Scott Donovan discovers plagiarism in a writing assignment and wonders if he is partially responsible given the difficulty of the assignment and students' abilities.

    I think Carol's overall objectives for her class was to address the value of uniqueness and the ways in which all students enjoyed equal rights within the classroom culture, as well as to extend diversity, which includes recognition, confidence, and reverence, to recognize that each person is special. Establishing cooperative learning communities to help students communicate and have common opportunities in the classroom was one of the techniques she used to do this.

    Plagiarism is whether you show someone else's work or inventions as your own, with or without their permission, by adding it into your work without giving them proper credit. Scott may have avoided it if he made plagiarism explicit and spoke about "reference" or "citation," which shows the reader where the cited content came from.

    CASE ANALYSIS IN EDUC 201 (Psychological Foundations of Education)

    Chapter 3:

    • Case 1: Carol Brown : After socially integrating her diverse class, Carol sees her efforts
    threatened when a student’ s pencil case disappears and is thought to have been stolen. Her
    students’ reactions are not what she had expected. (First grade—Topics: Diversity, Moral
    Development)

    1. What is Carol Brown's problem?

    ANS: Carol Brown's problem is maintaining student trust; she considers how she can investigate
    quietly in order to address the dilemma of John's lost property while still maintaining mutual
    trust and support among the class

    2. What do you think are Carol's overall objectives for her class? What techniques is she
    using to accomplish them?

    ANS: I think Carol's overall objectives for her class was to address the value of uniqueness and
    the ways in which all students enjoyed equal rights within the classroom culture, as well as to
    extend diversity, which includes recognition, confidence, and reverence, to recognize that each
    person is special. Establishing cooperative learning communities to help students communicate
    and have common opportunities in the classroom was one of the techniques she used to do this.
    She ensured that the classes were socioeconomically diverse and that each group had no more
    than three or four students, preventing the formation of minor cliques within the groups. To get
    the best out of the activities she designed games that allowed the children to work together.
    Every two weeks, she shuffled the members of the party. Carol also founded centers where only
    a few children could operate at any given time. There were centers for playing dress-up games,
    for building with Lego blocks, for listening to talking books, for working at the computer, for
    doing art projects, and so on. Children drew lots for which center they could go to, guaranteeing
    that there would always be a diverse population at each one. Since the children typically had
    “center time” twice a day, there were many opportunities for the children to interact and to get to
    know and trust one another. The classroom also featured what Carol called “the author’s seat,”
    which allowed all the children to share stories they had written. This helped the students get to
    know one another and begin to understand each other’s backgrounds.

    3. What should Carol have done? What should she do now?


    ANS: Carol should promote diversity sensitivity and integration in and out of the classroom to
    promote equality and educate students to succeed in an increasingly diverse environment, as well
    as to learn what society considers being good and bad. Carol should talk to her students on how
    to keep people from acting on uncontrolled impulses and instead understand what is right and
    good for others, as well as how people learn to determine what is right and wrong, in order to
    preserve respect and trust between each other.

    Case 2: Scott Donovan : Scott discovers that four of his students plagiarized parts of a lengthy
    writing assignment. He wonders if he contributed to the problem, given the nature of the
    assignment and the students’ inability to work independently. (Tenth grade—Topics: Cheating,
    English Teaching, Instruction, Moral Development)

    1. Scott describes himself as feeling very angry and then blameworthy for the turn of events
    described here. Why?

    ANS: Scott is feeling very angry because he discovers that four of his students  plagiarized
    portions of a lengthy writing task, and he holds himself responsible for the outcome because he
    gave them several instructions, including not dividing their journals on a regular basis rather than
    just at the end, given the difficulty of the task and the students' inability to work individually, he
    wonders if he contributed to this issue, particularly because the book activity is worth more than
    half of their grade. He felt culpable because he needed the students to write naturally, so he opted
    not to notify them about his plans to use their papers, which resulted in the plagiarism case.

    2. What explains the plagiarism? Is there anything Scott could have done to prevent it?

    ANS: Plagiarism is whether you show someone else's work or inventions as your own, with or
    without their permission, by adding it into your work without giving them proper credit. Scott
    may have avoided it if he made plagiarism explicit and spoke about "reference" or "citation,"
    which shows the reader where the cited content came from. Scott might have prevent this if he
    had told the students that he wanted them to write naturally and by telling them about his
    intended to use of their journals.

    3. What do you think of the Giants in the Earth assignment?

    ANS: I believe that the Giants in the Earth assignment was so difficult for the sophomores
    because even Scott thought it was the worse of the three necessary papers, and Scott already
    knew the students' writing was lacking. Their writing skills were lacking, and their spelling was
    poor, and when he administered a grammar pre-test, the students received poor result, which may
    explain why the four students plagiarized.

    4. What should Scott do about the students who plagiarized? Should he fail them?
    ANS: I believe Scott should take punitive action against the students by suspending them and
    warning them that if they do it again, they will be expelled. Scott should give the students
    another chance, by giving them with another activity to help them deal with their grades.
