FULL SOLVED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A PLUS
◉ criterion referenced. Answer: To see if a learner has met
predetermined milestones and requirements
Example; Advanced placement tests
Objective; Learners will be able to apply the basics of calculus.
◉ 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?
What will need to be taught and coached, and how should it best be
taught, in light of performance goals?
What materials and resources are best suited to accomplish these
goals?
Large and/or group discussion
Interactive lecturing and think-pair-shares
Flipped classroom
◉ Which design process is an example of backward design?. Answer:
Write learning goals based on what students need to learn, decide how
that learning will be measured, then choose activities to prepare
students for success in those measurements.
