ABOUT THE NELSON EDUCATION TEACHING ADVANTAGE (NETA)
g g g g g g
In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of
g g g g g g g
student assessment is based on multiple-choice testing.
g g g g g g g
Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly,
g g g g g
believing that it is a methodology best used for testing
g g g g g g g g g g
what a student remembers rather than what she or he has
g g g g g g g g g g g
learned.
g
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the Nelson Education
g g g g g g g g g g g
Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high-quality test banks.
g g g g g g g g g g g
The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
choice test questions that ―get beyond remembering‖ to assess higher-level thinking.
g g g g g g g g g g g
All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, ―Multiple Choice Tests:
g g g g g g g g g g g g
Getting Beyond Remembering.‖ This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
g g g g g g g g g
The Test Bank for Managing Performance Through Training and Development, Eighth Edition
g g g g g g g g g g g
has been revised for Canadian students by Alan M. Saks, University of Toronto. The multiple-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
choice questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
development of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA
g g g g g g g g g g g
principles of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork,
g g g g g g g g g g
and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
understanding. The Test Bank offers over 700 questions including 480 multiple choice, 120
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
short answer, and 120 essay questions.
