, OVERVIEW OF TEST ITEMS
This test bank provides multiple-choice and essay questions for Chapters 1–15 and
Appendices A and B of the textbook. It also includes a set of multi-chapter items that
encompass material from two or more textbook chapters simultaneously.
The items have been developed with numerous possible instructional objectives in mind.
They are categorized to reflect one of two difficulty levels. Level 1 Items, designated by
a single dot (•) in the left margin, are lower-level questions that assess knowledge or
comprehension of material presented in the text. Level 2 Items, designated by double
dots (••) in the left margin, are higher-level questions that assess application or analysis
of material presented in the text.
Please consider the objectives and goals you have for your course and select items that
best match those objectives and goals. The cognitive processes students employ in
studying academic subject matter depend, in part, on the ways in which they expect to be
assessed. If they know they will need to apply concepts and principles to actual
classroom situations, they will be more likely to think about applications as they study for
their exams—and such elaborative, application-oriented cognitive processing should
almost certainly enable them to make better use of educational psychology in the years to
come.
Multiple Choice Questions
Each multiple-choice question has only one correct answer. Students sometimes like to
have an opportunity to defend the alternatives they choose. You may want to consider
allowing them to write “defenses” on the back of the exam or answer sheet; in our
experience, this procedure minimizes the extent to which students try to make after-the-
fact arguments for incorrect choices.
Essay Questions
Some essay questions are relatively structured; others are more open-ended. You may
want to provide additional structure for responses—for example, by specifying minimum
or maximum response lengths or describing your grading criteria. You may want to tell
students that you will not read between the lines: They must present a logical train of
thought and be precise in their statements. For many students, such logic and precision
are skills that take time to develop.
Guidelines for Scoring Tests
Scoring criteria are provided for each item. Scoring responses to the multiple-choice
questions should be relatively simple. If you allow students to defend their choices in the
margins, you will have some subjective judgments to make about the appropriateness of
their reasoning behind what are otherwise incorrect choices. Scoring responses to the
essay questions will naturally be more difficult and time-consuming, but the scoring
criteria for each question should help you score them consistently and reliably.
