Aperçu du contenu
,Chapter 1: Thinking about ReligionThe questions in this test bank have been updated and revised to reflect changes in THINK World
Religions, 2nd edition. There is also a new system for identifying the difficulty of the questions.
In this revision, the questions are now tagged according to the four levels of learning that help
organize the text. Think of these four levels as moving from lower-level to higher-level cognitive
reasoning. The four levels are:
REMEMBER: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
UNDERSTAND: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
APPLY: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation
ANALYZE: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their
interrelationship
The 45 questions in this chapter’s test bank are divided into five types of questions. As the table
below shows, more than half of these questions are “Remember” questions and most questions
fall within the lowest three levels of cognitive reasoning(Remember, Understand, and Apply).
Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blank, and Matching questions span the broadest
range of skills (the majority are “Remember” questions and the remainder are “Understand”
questions). Short Answer questions span a broad range of skills(from “Remember” to
“Analyze”). Finally, Essay questions are the most demanding because they include the highest
levels of cognitive reasoning(from “Understand” to “Analyze”).
