Nitza Hidalgo, an educational theorist, tells us that there are the three levels of culture that can be identified as influential in the way students learn. What are these levels?
  1. Age, Family and Personal
  2. Intrinsic, Extrinsic and Eccentric
  3. Figurative, Literal and Connotative
  4. Concrete, Behavioral and Symbolic
Explanation
Answer: D - The three levels of culture that educational theorist Nitza Hidalgo identifies as influential in the way students learn are concrete, behavioral and symbolic. The concrete level of culture includes those aspects that are more readily observed among a group: the way they dress, their food preferences and the art forms that they may be identified by as a whole. The behavioral level of culture can be seen as the less visible patterns of action common to the group as a whole, such as speaking a common language, the ways they organize themselves socially and mannerisms practiced by all. Lastly, the third and most abstract of the three, is the symbolic level of culture. This level includes what some might refer to as convictions or beliefs that are seen as the values of a group. These three levels can also be identified within sub-cultures.
