ILTS History Practice Content Exam 2023 questions and
answers
a researcher studying early modern europe would be most likely to use parish baptismal
and burial records in investigating which of the following research topics?
patterns of change in birthrates and mortality rates
because analysis of these records would be particularly useful for determining
demographic changes
students in a social science class plan to research the attitudes of their peers toward
current events. the student researchers believe that their fellow students may be more
willing to express their opinions anonymously than publicly. the student researchers
could best protect the anonymity of their subjects by:
conducting written surveys using questionnaires that assign numbers to subjects
because surveys are widely use in social science research as a means of granting
anonymity to subjects and encouraging more candid responses.
a SS researcher is analyzing the results of a survey, in which over 500 respondents
rater their level of agreement with 25 statements on a scale of 1 to 5. the researcher
discovers that on a small number of questionnaires, respondents gave multiple ratings
to statements or gave contradictory ratings to statements that were very similar,
suggesting they may have misread statements. which of the following actions would be
most appropriate for the research to take to address this issue?
removing self-contradictory questionnaires from the analysis
because the number of surveys collected in this study is relatively high and the number
of apparently careless responses is low.
a SS researcher is planning a study that will include human subjects. in order to
maintain ethical practices, it is most important for the research to ensure that potential
participants understand:
that they may decline to participate and can opt out at any time
because ethical standards of social science research require that participants in studies
give their informed consent.
the methodology of ethnography would most likely be critical in exploring which of the
following social science topics?
the effect of power dynamics in determining values within a group
because ethnography is the means of studying and describing a culture/cultural group
through participant observation, as well as, compiling documents, interviews, and
relevant cultural symbols.
A HS SS teacher plans to take an interdisciplinary approach to instruction during a unit
on the US civil war. the teacher could best use which of the following activities to
introduce this approach?
comparing the development of northern and southern states during the first half of the
19thc
because industry, mining, transportation, and other economic activities grew rapidly in
the norther states, while the southern states retained a largely agrarian economy based
on enslaved labor.
,Read the passage below:
"... Sadly, policies protecting the rainforests have been undermined by powerful
ranching and logging interests. In 2016 alone, deforestation rates increased 29%"
Based on the evidence in the passage, the author's statement that efforts to protect the
amazon rainforest were undermined by ranching and logging interests is best
characterized by:
an assertion
because no evidence about what cause the rates to climb after 2012 is provided,
however, the author's claim that ranching and logging interests are to blame is best
described as an assertion.
Read the excerpt below from an 1892 speech by Elizabeth Cady Stanton:
...
In the excerpt, Stanton primarily addresses which of the following questions?
What do women need in order to be fully sovereign individuals?
because in this excerpt from her speech "The Solitude of Self," Stanton addresses the
needs of women as sovereign individuals. she argues that women should have
opportunities for education and growth, as well as their full freedom, so that each can
take "personal responsibility of her own individual life."
in addition to the sectional conflict over slavery, a marxist interpretation of the causes of
the US Civil War would most likely emphasize which of the following factors?
the conflicting economic goals of industrial and agrarian capitalists
because a marxist interpretation of the cause of the civil war would likely also examine
the north and south's particular forms of economic exploitation (free vs. slave labor) as
an intractable difference that contributed to the outbreak of the war
A HS SS teacher wants students to understand the tentative nature of historical
interpretation. which of the following pairs of sources would be most helpful to the
teacher in accomplishing this goal?
an analysis of the civil war written during Reconstruction and a history of the Civil War
written 50 years later
because historical interpretation changes over time
A historian analyzing the relationship between the patriarchal social orders and gender
roles int he history of China from the Han to the Qing Dynasty would most likely utilize
which of the following historical concepts?
patterns of continuity and change
because historical analysis that addresses a specific theme that spans a long period of
time and crosses traditional chronological divisions addresses patterns of continuity and
change over time
A HS SS teacher sets assessing the relative strengths and limitations of sources as a
learning goal for students, including sources reflecting different historical perspectives.
the teacher would find which of the following pars of documents most useful for
facilitating this goal?
a 1990 interview with a WWII veteran and a war correspondent's reporting from 1942
because in the social sciences, primary source have both strengths (first-hand
accounts) and limitations (narrowness of perspective). by comparing war reporting from
during WWII to a recollection of what happened from a veteran 45 years later, the
, teacher can help students recognize the strengths and limitations of various types of
primary sources.
To support students' content-area reading and concept development, a SS teacher
regularly has students engage in academic discussions focused on comparing different
perspectives presented in various texts. to foster these discussions, the teacher
explicitly teaches the students how to:
-present a position using evidence or justification
-listen actively to opposing arguments
-formulate statements that agree or disagree respectfully and objectively by referring to
specific claims that the speaker made.
The teacher's actions are likely to support students' reading and concept development
in the social science classroom primarily in which of the following ways?
by promoting their academic language development and critical-thinking skills.
because engaging students in purposeful academic discussions about texts is an
effective strategy for enhancing their comprehension of texts/academic language as
well as their understanding of concepts addressed in the texts.
A SS Teacher frequently has students complete a short anticipation guide before
reading a new informational or expository text. students read several carefully
constructed statements related to the text's content and must decide whether each
statement is true or false based on prior knowledge. after the students have read the
text, they answer the same set of questions about the topic and compare the responses
they made before and after reading. the anticipation guide activity as described
supports students' content-area reading development primarily by:
promoting students' interest and engagement in reading a new SS text
because the anticipation guide helps pique students' interest in the content of a new SS
text and set a purpose for their reading, both of which help foster reading engagement.
active engagement in reading enhances reading comprehension and learning.
A SS teacher frequently presents students with a graph or date display related to the
current unit of study and guides them in analyzing the date using relevant terminology.
afterward, the teacher asks students to write a short paragraph that explains their
understanding of the concept or finding what the data display represents. in their
paragraph, they must use at least 5 discipline-specific terms associated with the unit. in
addition to promoting students' ability to interpret data displays, the teacher's practices
are likely to support students' content-area reading and concept development primarily
by:
reinforcing their understanding of a new vocabulary and ability to use target vocabulary
in the social science classroom
because providing students with opportunities to use new discipline-specific vocab
purposefully, in context, and using multiple modalities (listening, speaking writing)
enhances their understanding and retention of both the new vocab and the new
concepts.
A SS teacher would like to improve students' ability to comprehend and retain essential
info from social science texts. For example, the teacher would like students to attend
carefully to a text's essential vocab and main ideas, including tracing the author's
argument, claims and evidence. the teacher could best achieve these goals by
