PECT Module 1/46 Questions and
answers
Formative Assessment - -Assesses students DURING instruction. Low stakes
and worth no points.
-Examples of Formative Assessment - -Curriculum-based assessment, exit
tickets, think-pair-share, white boards, response cards
-Benchmark Assessment - -Evaluates students at periodic intervals,
frequently at the end of the grading period
-Examples of Benchmark Assessment - -PA LEAP test, DIBELS
-Diagnostic Assessment - -Assesses students strengths and weaknesses
PRIOR to instruction
-Summative Assessment - -Measures student achievement at the END of
instruction. High stakes and worth many points.
-Examples of Summative Assessment - -PSSAs, Terra Novas, end of unit
tests
-Screening - -Assesses to see if a student needs specialized assistance or
services for developmental, physical, cognitive, or academic needs. Checks
to see if students are learning basic skills or if there are delays.
-Authentic/Performance Assessment - -Assesses a student's ability to
perform a REAL WORLD task
-Examples of Authentic/Performance Assessment - -Science experiment,
give a speech, presentation, or performance, long-term project, using math
to buy an item with exact change
-Normative/Norm-Referenced Assessment - -Compares a student's
performance against a national or other "norm" group. Comparing
INDIVIDUALS to the GROUP.
-Examples of Normative/Norm-Referenced Assessment - -IQ tests, SAT, ACT
-Criterion-Referenced Assessment - -Measures a student's performance
against a specific goal, objective, or standard. Designed to measure the
results of instruction.
, -Examples of Criterion-Referenced Assessment - -AP Exams, Unit-
Midterms/Final exams
-Piaget Stage of Cognitive Development: Sensorimotor - -Birth-2 yrs.
Children know the world through movements and sensation. Object
permanence is the key feature.
-Object Permanence - -Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Things
continue to exist, even though they cannot be seen.
-Piaget Stage of Cognitive Development: Preoperational Stage - -2-7 yrs.
Children think symbolically and can use words and pictures to represent
objects. Language development is a large milestone of this stage. Egocentric
viewpoint.
-Egocentrism - -Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Children in the
Preoperational Stage are unable to look (both emotionally and concretely)
from another's viewpoint.
-Piaget Stage of Cognitive Development: Concrete Operational Stage - -7-11
yrs. Begin to think logically about concrete events. Understand Law of
Conservation. Difficultly with abstract or theoretical concepts. Use inductive
logic (specific information >>> general principal).
-Piaget Stage of Cognitive Development: Formal Operational Stage - -12+
Abstract thought about moral, ethical, and philosophical issues. Use
deductive logic (general principal>>>specific situation). Can think
hypothetically and make systematic plans. Trial and error not needed for
problem solving.
-Reversability - -Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Emerges during
Concrete Operational Stage. Able to understand that mental
concepts/relationships can be reversed.
-Decentration - -Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Emerges during
the Concrete Operational Stage. Children can focus on more than one part of
the problem at once.
-Conservation - -Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Objects can
maintain their properties even if their appearance changes. Same amount of
water in a tall skinny glass as in a short wide glass. Few children understand
this before the age of 5.
-Constructivism - -Piaget's theory of cognitive development. People cannot
be "given" information which then they immediately can understand and
