WGU D293 EXAM COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
GUIDE
◉ Ipsative.
Answer: To see if a learner has improved based on previous
knowledge.
Example; Compare previous work and progress to current work
Objective; Learners will increase reading and comprehension skills.
◉ Norm referenced.
Answer: To see how a learner's work compares to the average work
completed by a similar group of learners.
Example; Test graded on a curve
Objective; Learners will be able to identify and solve engineering
problems that may occur in the field.
◉ Standards Based.
Answer: To see if a learner can meet requirements and have a
mastery of knowledge based on a predetermined standard.
Example ; States Standardized Test
Objective; Learners will master grade-level mathematics.
,◉ Traditional.
Answer: To see if a learner can meet the requirements based on
memorization of data and facts.
Examples; Multiple Choice/True Fals
Objective; Learners will be able to describe and identify parts of the
human nervous system.
◉ What are the three domains, or categories, of educational
activities that Bloom identified.
Answer: Cognitive Knowledge or Mental Skills
Affective Attitude or Emotions
Psychomotor Skills or Physical Skills
◉ List the evolved Bloom's Revised Taxonomy..
Answer: Remembering
Understanding
Applying
Analyzing
Evaluating
Creating
◉ Psychomotor Domain.
,Answer: which focuses on physical skills, was identified, but not
defined, by Dr. Bloom. His original ideas were expanded by 1970s
educators, including Dr. Elizabeth Simpson, who developed them in
this simple-to-complex order:
Perception (sensory guiding of motor activity)
Set (feeling ready to act)
Guided Response (beginning to learn complex skills)
Mechanism (developing basic proficiency)
Complex Overt Response (performing with advanced skill)
Adaptation (modifying movement to meet special circumstances)
Origination (creating situation-specific movements)
◉ Which domain includes knowing?.
Answer: cognitive
◉ What are the stages of backwards design.
Answer: 1. identify desired results
2. determine acceptable evidence
3. plan learning experiences and instruction
◉ Backwards Design; identify Desired Results Questions.
Answer: What should participants hear, read, view, explore or
otherwise encounter?
, What knowledge and skills should participants master?
What are big ideas and important understandings participants
should retain?
◉ Backwards Design; Determine Acceptable Evidence.
Answer: How will I know if students have achieved the desired
results?
What will I accept as evidence of student understanding and
proficiency?
Term papers.
Short-answer quizzes.
Free-response questions.
Homework assignments.
Lab projects.
Practice problems.
Group projects.
◉ Backwards Design; Plan learning experiences and instruction.
Answer: What enabling knowledge (facts, concepts, principles) and
skills (processes, procedures, strategies) will students need in order
to perform effectively and achieve desired results?
What activities will equip students with the needed knowledge and
skills?
