ABCTE PTK Assessment Concepts Questions And 100% Correct Answers

An 11th grade class has just finished reading the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. The BEST way to assess students' understanding of the book is _____? - A homework assignment that requires the students reflect on facts and key points Because the assessment is aligned with lesson content. The question does not state that the teacher has taught the class about literary terms, why the book was written, and a verbal discussion does not assess individual student knowledge as well as a written assignment. At the end of a unit on WW2, students take a test on major aspects of the war. The teacher uses the test results for grading and evaluation. This is an example of a ___ assessment. - Summative b/c measures learning and understanding for grading purposes. Formative: provides feedback to teacher after students practice and not used for grading to see where potential gaps may be. Performance: hands-on skill application or example activity. Diagnostic: helps teacher understand student's skills and prior knowledge to adjust future lessons. A social studies teacher wants students to identify important events and the dates that they occurred. The teacher first created a multiple choice test, but later modified it to a matching exercise. What is the BEST reason for this change? - The chance of guessing correct answers decreases. It's easier for students to guess the correct answer on MC tests than with matching, especially as the length of the item sets increases. Bias and ease in grading is not altered with changing test type, both MC and matching are objective tests, and there is no use of multi-step problem solving in this type of test.
