⩥ Given the following scores, which measure is the best descriptor of
the central tendency of the data?
22,57,60,60,60,75,76,82,85,88,90,92,97 Answer: Answer is Median,
not mode, mean or standard deviation.
This is because a low score of 22 will skew the data. Because the
mean is not resistant to extremes, the median is a better test of center.
The mode of 60 is not idicative of the center of this data. The standard
deviation is never a measure of center.

b diagram outline differtiate-analysis
d. rearrange compile combine-synthesis
⩥ The four major steps to planning a lesson are task analysis,
determining objectives, determining goals, and identifying neccary
prerequestite knowlesdge. What order should those steps occur?
Answer: Answer-Goals, objectives, task analysis, prerequisite

, ⩥ A student who is usually well behaved is consistently interrupting
the class routine and annoying nearby students. The teacher has
already reminded him that he must obey the classroom behavior
standards, but that hasn't changed the behavior. Which of the
following is the most appropriate teacher response? Answer: Separate
student from classmates and give 5 minute time out
Why? the behavior is consistent so ignoring it is ineffective. Rules
must be enforced consistently, and if the student actively chooses to
disobey, a consequence must follow. Referring the student to the
discipline officer is far too severe a response at this early stage, and
telling him to explain behavior standards is unlikely to be effective
since he has already ignored reminders. The problem is not that he
cannot comprehend what the rules are, but instead why he has to
follow them
⩥ Which of the following statements, when used to begin a lesson on
the respiratory system, encourages meaningful student participation?
Answer: B "Take a deep breath and pay attention to how it feels to

gives students a specific task, focusing their minds on the topic.
Choices A and C are passively received by the listener and do not give
the student a task to help them participate. Choice D is shallow and if
