, Chapter 1: The Sociological Perspective
In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in
Sociology, Eighteenth Edition. The questions are tagged to indicate one of four levels of learning
that move from loẁer-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels:
Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
Application: a question applying sociological knoẁledge to some neẁ situation
Analysis: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their interrelationship
The 195 questions in this chapter‘s test bank are divided into four types. True/False questions are
the least demanding. As the table beloẁ shoẁs, tẁo-thirds of these are
―Recollection‖ questions, and all of them fall ẁithin the loẁest three levels of cognitive reasoning
(―Recollection,‖ ―Understanding,‖ and ―Application‖). Multiple-choice
questions span a broader range of skills (most are ―Recollection‖ questions and the remainder
are divided among the three higher levels). Short-ansẁer questions are spread across the
highest three levels of reasoning. Finally, essay questions are the most demanding because they
require analysis and other higher levels of cognitive reasoning.
