Answers 100% Correct
A group of students wants to produce and electronic magazine that publishes
original student writing and art. Their adviser is planning a unit to train them how to
use a word-processing application to create pages that include features such as
images, multi-column layouts, sidebars, headers, footers, links, and page
backgrounds. Which of the following would be the BEST culminating activity for this
portion of the training? - ANSWER - Small teams producing a document under
proctored conditions, using specified features, and within a time limit.
Why? The purpose of the training is to prepare students to apply what they learn.
The team and time limit conditions make the performance more realistic; the whole
activity promotes retaining and transferring what has been learned.
Which of the following is MOST likely to promote effective transfer of knowledge to
students? - ANSWER - Having students work on their own with specific information
related to a topic before giving an organizing lecture.
Why? Studies indicate that topics need to be organized and connected in order to
promote transfer of knowledge, but that a larger number of topics covered quickly
will hinder student transfer because students have too little time to connect and
organize the information. Introducing organizational structure early makes student
learning difficult in that they first need specific information about the topic before
thy organizational structure can make sense and be remembered.
Students are about to take a paper and pencil test. If there is time for only one of
the following activities, which would BEST prepare students for the test? - ANSWER -
Students should make a chart of the important topics with notes on subtopics below
each.
Why? Organizational structures help students to connect and remember.
In order to use an inductive sequence for teaching about World War II, which of the
following would be the BEST way for a class to work? - ANSWER - Examine events
leading up to the war and develop a general model of world war in the process.

, Given the following set of scores on standardized test, which choice most closely
approximates the difference between the mean and median of the set: 89, 65, 77,
93, 80, 87, 79 - ANSWER - 1
Why? The mean of the data is 81.43 and the median is 80. The difference between
them is 1.43, which is closer to 1.
How should a teacher generally begin almost every class? - ANSWER - By telling
students what they will be covering that day.
Why? Telling students what they will be covering helps focus students' attention. A
teacher should remind students to pay attention if she notices that their attention is
wandering, but she need not start every class with this reminder. Reviewing skills is
helpful on occasion, but not in every class.
Consider the following question asked by a first grade teacher: 'What do the three
stories we have read by Tomie de Paola have in common?' - ANSWER - Analysis of
the separate stores and comparison between them.

Taxonomy, analysis. The teacher is looking to see which students are able to think
of all three stories at the same time and make comparisons between them.
A 5th grade student has just finished a three-week unit on the American Revolution
in social studies. Which strategy would be BEST to use to culminate the unit? -
ANSWER - Give a free-response test on the 'big ideas' of the unit and have students
choose a project from a list of eight projects.
Why? In order to know whether the learning objectives of the unit have been met,
the objectives must be measured. A test on the major concepts of the American
Revolution achieves that goal. The project, from a limited number of choices that
relate to the objectives, gives students another way to show what they have
learned.
Which of the following language arts activities requires the highest order of thinking
skills? - ANSWER - Imagining and writing a new ending to a novel.
Why? Imagining and writing a new ending to a story is an example of the synthesis
level of thinking on Bloom's Taxonomy. The 6 levels of thinking skills are knowledge,
comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation.
