Multiple Choice


This activity contains 15 questions.

	A statement of skills or concepts that students should master after a given period of instruction is known as:   an instructional objective a point by point analysis a content analysis an individualized educational plan (IEP)

	In planning a lesson, a three-step process for task analysis may be used. What would be the first step?   Identify component skills Planning an individualized educational plan (IEP) Plan how component skills will be assembled into the final skill. Identify prerequisite skills

	One way to specify objectives for a course:   is to randomly select them from the textbook currently in use. is to actually prepare test questions before the course begins- this allows the teacher to write the general teaching objectives and then to clarify them with very specific learning objectives. is to base the course on reading ability. is to prepare a list of rules the students will follow in doing the basic learning tasks that the lesson requires. The rules will be taught first.

	The means by which schools formally measure student performance is known as:   reliability. validity. evaluation or assessment. analysis of variance.

	If an achievement test measures what it says it measures, the test is said to be:   valid reliable a normative factor analysis culture-fair

	Considered by some educators be the most useful and flexible of all test forms, _______________items can be used in tests for most school subjects.   verbal analogies and matching multiple choice short answer content analysis

	The advantage of true-false items is that:   they work well for students with limited English proficiency. students can respond to them more quickly and so they can cover a broad range of content efficiently. students have a good chance of getting half of the right just by guessing they require deep thought

	One means of gaining an authentic (or performance-) assessment of a students' work:   is to administer an IQ test. is by way of a student portfolio of his or her work in a given subject. is to administer a personality test such as the MMPI. is to administer a standardized aptitude test.

	A form of relative grading standard is:   grading according to a student's raw score on a test. using tests with verbal analogies. separating students by their ages. grading on the curve.

	One of the most important limitations of traditional grades is they:   give no indication of how students are doing in comparison to others. can lower students' self-esteem. don't work well in special education programs. provide no information about what students know and can do.

	In using Bloom's taxonomy to write objectives, it is of primary importance to know that educators want students to have   many levels of skills access to additional information in sequential order select their own objectives All of the Above

	Summative evaluation may or may not be   frequent final quantifiable reliable

	When would it be more appropriate to use a criterion-referenced versus a norm-referenced test?   To show individual achievement To show comparison with other students To ensure equity for all cultures None of the above

	The Halo Effect refers to   Doing everything correctly Creating a positive environment Giving clarity to all information Carrying over an attitude about a student

	An appropriate way to implement portfolio assessment would be to   Choose items to be included Use portfolio information to document and celebrate student's learning Analyze portfolio items for insight into students All of the Above
