WGU D003 QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
Special Education - ANS ✔✔A set of unique educational services and supports provided to
students with disabilities who meet particular disability criteria
inclusive education - ANS ✔✔An educational model in which students with disabilities receive
their education in a general educational setting with collaboration between general and special
education teachers. Implementation may be through the total reorganization and redefinition of
general and special education roles, or as one option in a continuum of available services.
Differentiated Instruction - ANS ✔✔A variety of techniques used to adapt instruction to the
individual ability levels and learning styles of each student in the classroom
Assessment - ANS ✔✔An evaluation technique for technology that requires analyzing benefits
and risks, understanding the trade-offs, and then determining the best action to take in order to
ensure that the desired positive outcomes outweigh the negative consequences.
Techniques used to analyze accomplishments against specific goals and criteria. Examples of
assessments include tests, surveys, observations, and self-assessment.
Reliability - ANS ✔✔Ability of a test to yield very similar scores for the same individual over
repeated testings
4 primary methods to collect data - ANS ✔✔R.I.O.T Record and review, Interview, Observation
and Testing
inference making - ANS ✔✔Refers to going beyond observations and what we know. Inferences
have only a low probability of coming true.
, 4 kinds of assessment Practices - ANS ✔✔1. Assessments that matter but are technically
inadequate
2. Technically adequate but does not matter
3. Neither Technically adequate nor matters
4 Both technically adequate and matters
Non systematic observation - ANS ✔✔Simply watches an individual in his or her environment
and notes the behaviors, characteristics and personal interactions that seem significant
systematic observation - ANS ✔✔The careful observation of the natural world with the aim of
better understanding it. Observations provide the basic data that allow scientists to track, tally,
or otherwise organize information about the natural world.
quantitative data analysis - ANS ✔✔Any means of representing trends from numerical data,
such as measures of central tendency.
Qualitative Data Analysis - ANS ✔✔analysis that results in the interpretation of action or
representation of meanings in the researcher's own words.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) - ANS ✔✔Under NCLB, all schools, school districts and states are
required to show progress in: reading/language arts, math, and either graduation rates or
attendance rates. There are consequences for failing to meet the criteria for two consecutive
years.
Universal Screening - ANS ✔✔testing all students to identify those in need of assistance or more
intensive instruction
