WGU D659 OA QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
formative assessment - ANS ✔✔used during the learning process to gauge student
understanding and guide further learning
summative assessment - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔structured evaluations that adhere to predetermined criteria and
are often standardized, summative,benchmark assessments
informal assessments - ANS ✔✔more flexible and spontaneous, occurring during everyday
classroom activities
ex formative,progess monitoring and ipsative
Weekly quizzes
Criterion-Referenced - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔Which assessment measures student progress against their previous
performance rather than against external standards or norms?
,progress monitoring - ANS ✔✔the ongoing process of using assessment data to track students'
academic growth and development
specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound (SMART) goals - ANS ✔✔an essential
framework used in education for setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-
bound objectives to guide and evaluate progress effectively
Specifically - ANS ✔✔Goals should be clear and precise, outlining exactly what needs to be
accomplished.
Measurable - ANS ✔✔Goals should include criteria for measuring progress and success.
Measurable goals allow teachers to track student performance objectively
backward design - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔a specific, measurable statement that describes what students
should know, understand, or be able to do as a result of instruction
condition - ANS ✔✔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 - ANS ✔✔the action or skill students are expected to demonstrate to produce
observable and measurable outcomes
, ex student will complete esssay
measurable criterion - ANS ✔✔the rate at which students are expected to perform ex-with 90%
accuracy
informal feedback - ANS ✔✔feedback given spontaneously or during instruction; often not
recorded
Why is it important to provide informal feedback to students? - ANS ✔✔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? - ANS ✔✔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
