WGU D659 OA: Questions With Objective Solutions
Formative assessment correct answer - used during the learning process
to gauge student understanding and guide further learning
Summative assessment correct answer - a tool for evaluating student
learning at specific points, such as at the end of a unit, semester, or academic
year; often in the form of a quiz or test
Formal assessments correct answer - structured evaluations that adhere
to predetermined criteria and are often standardized, summative,benchmark
assessments
Informal assessments correct answer - more flexible and spontaneous,
occurring during everyday classroom activities
Ex formative,progess monitoring and ipsative
Weekly quizzes
Criterion-referenced correct answer - determine whether students have
achieved specific learning objectives or criteria, but they may compare
student performance to external standards or benchmarks, not just their
previous performance.
Progress monitoring correct answer - assessments track individual
student progress over time but may compare it to external standards or
norms, not necessarily against the student's previous performance.
Ipsative correct answer - which assessment measures student progress
against their previous performance rather than against external standards or
norms?
Progress monitoring correct answer - the ongoing process of using
assessment data to track students' academic growth and development
Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound (smart) goals correct
answer - an essential framework used in education for setting specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives to guide and
evaluate progress effectively
,Specifically correct answer - goals should be clear and precise, outlining
exactly what needs to be accomplished.
Measurable correct answer - goals should include criteria for measuring
progress and success. Measurable goals allow teachers to track student
performance objectively
Backward design correct answer - a strategic approach to curriculum
planning that starts with identifying clear end goals or learning outcomes of a
course or lesson before planning the instructional strategies and assessments
Content standards correct answer - also known as academic standards
or curriculum standards, outline the specific knowledge, skills, and concepts
that students are expected to master at a particular grade level or course
Learning objectives correct answer - a specific, measurable statement
that describes what students should know, understand, or be able to do as a
result of instruction
Condition correct answer - the specific circumstances under which the
assessment takes place or learning occurs, including any necessary tools or
resources
Ex- after group work or reading or given a set of geometric shapes
Behavior correct answer - the action or skill students are expected to
demonstrate to produce observable and measurable outcomes
Ex student will complete esssay
Measurable criterion correct answer - the rate at which students are
expected to perform ex-with 90% accuracy
Informal feedback correct answer - feedback given spontaneously or
during instruction; often not recorded
Why is it important to provide informal feedback to students? Correct
answer - it allows teachers to check in throughout the learning process.
, Mrs. Garcia, a seventh-grade science teacher, wants to assess the following
learning objective: students will apply knowledge of photosynthesis to real-
life scenarios.
Which assessment for learning method would best measure student
achievement for this learning objective? Correct answer - hands-on
experiment growing plants in different light conditions
In a unit about prime factorization, the teacher has the goal for students to be
able to determine the prime factorization for any three-digit number.
Which assessment method should the teacher use to effectively evaluate if
students understood the content after the completion of the unit?
A. A worksheet having students practice identifying prime and composite
numbers
B. A final exam covering all the prime factorization topics of the unit
C. A paired discussion with peers to discuss prime factorization challenges
D. A short essay explaining how prime factorization relates to previous
concepts correct answer - b. A final exam covering all the prime
factorization topics of the unit
In a unit about animal cells, the primary goal is for students to learn the
functions of animal cell structures.
Which assessment method should this teacher use to effectively monitor
student progress?
A. A worksheet having students label each of the various components on a cell
diagram
B. An original poem to help students remember the names of the components
of an animal cell
C. A study plan created by each student outlining how to learn the animal cell
components
