PTK Practice ABCTE Exam 65 Questions with Verified Answers MOST effective method for closing a lesson? - CORRECT ANSWER The students identify the import... [Show More] ant topics and conclusions in group discussions. Why: Closure is best done by students so that the teacher can assess the effect of the lesson. It needs to be done as a group so that the teacher can monitor and adjust before students work individually. Choice b (The teacher reiterates an outline of the lesson and outlines important conclusions) isn't correct because students are merely reiterating the lesson and not stating the issues and results in their own words. Graphic Organizer that would best help elementary students understand differences and similarities of forests and deserts? - CORRECT ANSWER VENN DIAGRAM-this is used to compare/contrast 2 objects/information These graphic organizers are useful for organizing a linear discussion or argument - CORRECT ANSWER outline These graphic organizers are helpful when students need to examine 2 sides of the same topic (pros cons) - CORRECT ANSWER t charts This organizer helps show details of a topic - CORRECT ANSWER choose web cluster or topic/subtopic chart This graphic organizer is appropriate to use when showing relationships between events - CORRECT ANSWER Cause-effect chart This is the most appropriate organizer to work with in class to understand the recycling process after reading a chapter about recycling. This chart is the best way for students to visualize a process with multiple steps and options. They help clarify complicated processes. - CORRECT ANSWER Flow Chart A history teacher instructs students to create a timeline to represent the unit they just covered. Which of the following BEST explains the purpose of this activity? - CORRECT ANSWER A: to give students an opportunity to visually represent the temporal relationships between key historical events. This is the best answer because this activity relates to selecting facts to illustrate ideas in the classroom. the proper use of creating timelines is to show students the order of historical events. studying for exams is not the primary purpose of using a timeline as an instructional activity. reviewing key events is not the primary purpose either. Before elementary students start reading a new book about baby dinosaurs, which of the following activities would best assess prior knowledge and stimulate student interest? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer a Show the class drawings of different kinds of dinosaurs and ask them to name and discuss them, if they can. Discuss the answers as a group and ask the question, "What would you do if you found a baby dinosaur?" Incorrect B: show students photo of dinosaurs and ask if they've ever read any stories about dinosaurs why is a correct? The teacher is able to assess what students know about dinosaurs and can correct any misinformation. in addition, the questions is open-ended and is an attention grabber. Choice b and c are passive and the teacher cannot assess prior knowledge. choice d(museum) may seem like a good activity, but again, the teacher cannot assess prior knowledge. In teaching a lesson, it is helpful to share the objectives with the students because doing so - CORRECT ANSWER Correct A: helps students strive for the same learning goals Incorrect- Makes sure students are on task and ready to learn. Why? objectives help focus the students on the major goal of the day Which assignment will BEST determine if students can analyze what they are learning? - CORRECT ANSWER a. define the following terms Correct B-Create a storyboard that explains how religion influenced the development of Latin America c. draw a map showing changes in borders of European countries before after ww2 d (my answer) describe climate in rain forest and discuss how human activity affects it Why-The students must explain a concept by creating or synthesizing something. In Blooms taxonomy, synthesis is a higher order than answer knowledge (a) -comprehension (D) and application (c) During the beginning of a unit about the Great Depression for a sixth grade class, which of the following questions would be most effective for presenting the new content? - CORRECT ANSWER Correct-Can anyone tell us where the Great Depression took place? WHy? it is a relevant answer with a verifiable answer. Those qualities are useful at the start of a unit beause they start building a store of info that can be used later. Choice a may be used to create interest in the topic. choice b focuses on sources, not the content. choice d supposes prior knowledge and would be appropriate later in the unit. In teaching a unit on Germany in the 30s, teacher wants class to recognize and understand that multiple social,economic, and political factors contributed to the rise of National Socialism. After starting the unit, what types of questions should be asked next? - CORRECT ANSWER Correct answer : D What & Where Not-A: How & Why Why? What and where questions elicit info that adds to a base or scaffold. Asking how usually involves more complex thinking, as does asking why. Those questions that will come up later in a unit. What is the most important reason homework should be given to high school math students? - CORRECT ANSWER B. To facilitate learning outside of the classroom I put C. To give students a chance to test their understanding of the material. The question does not reference an upcoming exam. B is correct because homework should be tailored so it extends the ideas outside of the classroom. Although students could use homework , the primary purpose of homework is to extend learning outside of school. A language arts class is beginning a section on poetry. When the students enter the room, they see the teacher has written a short poem on the board, but left the subject words blank. The teacher opens the class by asking the students to fill in the blanks of the poem. using this exercise best accomplishes which one of the following goals? - CORRECT ANSWER A. Engaging students' interest in poetry. I put it would introduce them to the rules of poetry conventions such as rhyme and meter The correct answer is A because the lesson provides students with the opportunity to draw from their personal background and interest in order to relate to the new topic. Choice B is incorrect because although filling in blanks of an existing poem may give teacher idea of how much students know about poetry, it is not the primary purpose of the activity. c in incorrect because filling in blanks of an existing poem does not allow a teacher to assess what students want to learn about composing poetry. choice d is incorrect because info related to poetry conventions such as rhyme and meter is not provided and is outside the scope of the question. An 11th grade teacher is introducing poetry in a lesson. Which of the following illustrates the best sequence for introducing the material? - CORRECT ANSWER B. Describe each type of poem and review parts, have students write examples, and finish the lesson by comparing and contrasting the different types. teachers should present material in a logical sequence. it makes sense to introduce the types of poems and the parts of each before having students write their own examples. having students write their own examples before introducing the different types of poetry is not correct. Which of the following situations are students most likely to require additional guidance and support from the teacher? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer D The students have little choice or control over their level of participation Not C (They have a lot of choice) Why D? Some degree of personal choice or control almost always makes learning easier; in its absence, extra guidance and support may help learning. All other choices are situations that build independence in students. Which of the following classroom management goals will BEST ensure an orderly classroom? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer C-Establish, explain, and practice classroom procedures; set standards for performance. Wrong A-minimize behavior that intereferes with learning; respond accordingly when it does happen. Why C-Procedure is the key element in classroom management. Procedures for dealing with negative behavior are an important part of classrrom management but only a part. Choice b deals with curriculum and instruction. The emphasis on definition makes choice D too narrow. In the middle of a lesson on the legislative branch, a teacher has students form a mock legislature and debate bills that they have created as a way to assess student learning. wHAT IS THIS an example of? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer is A, Formative Assessment NotB, Summative Why? Formative assessment provides feedback that allows a teacher to monitor and adjust the instruction and is an easy way to evaluate individual student learning. Assume that a set of test scores is normally distributed. How many test scores would be expexted to be within two standard deviations of the mean? - CORRECT ANSWER 95%, because it is relatively rare for a score to be more than 2 standard deviations from the mean in a set of normal scores. Given the following scores, which measure is the best descriptor of the central tendency of the data? 22,57,60,60,60,75,76,82,85,88,90,92,97 - CORRECT ANSWER Answer is Median, not mode, mean or standard deviation. This is because a low score of 22 will skew the data. Because the mean is not resistant to extremes, the median is a better test of center. The mode of 60 is not idicative of the center of this data. The standard deviation is never a measure of center. These tests measure the amount or percentage of content students know or can perform. It measures learning of a specific set of skills or info. - CORRECT ANSWER Criterion-referenced test A teacher prepares checklists for students to complete at the end of key lessons. checklists ask students to identify what part of the lesson was hardest to follow and what gave the most help. Students do not put their names on the checklist. the teacher uses the info to guide future instruction. What is the standard name of this kind of assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer is formative, not summative Formative assessments help form or they inform future instruction. They guide improvements and refinements. The other major category of assessments is summative, they sum up what students have learned from a course, unit, or lesson Which of the following sets of verbs should be used to assess how well students have retained a set of basic faCTS? - CORRECT ANSWER c. list, LABEL, MATCH wHY? THE Verbs in this set call for very basic thinking without much additional processing. According to bloom's taxonomy, these are the foundationl skills. Choice a, use demonstrate, modify, calls for applying knowledge, b diagram outline differtiate-analysis d. rearrange compile combine-synthesis The four major steps to planning a lesson are task analysis, determining objectives, determining goals, and identifying neccary prerequestite knowlesdge. What order should those steps occur? - CORRECT ANSWER Answer-Goals, objectives, task analysis, prerequisite knowledge The first thing is to determine the overarching goal and the measurable objectives to reach that goal. A task analysis is completed to help guide the lesson plan, including determing the necessary prerequesite knowledge. A student who is usually well behaved is consistently interrupting the class routine and annoying nearby students. The teacher has already reminded him that he must obey the classroom behavior standards, but that hasn't changed the behavior. Which of the following is the most appropriate teacher response? - CORRECT ANSWER Separate student from classmates and give 5 minute time out Why? the behavior is consistent so ignoring it is ineffective. Rules must be enforced consistently, and if the student actively chooses to disobey, a consequence must follow. Referring the student to the discipline officer is far too severe a response at this early stage, and telling him to explain behavior standards is unlikely to be effective since he has already ignored reminders. The problem is not that he cannot comprehend what the rules are, but instead why he has to follow them Which of the following statements, when used to begin a lesson on the respiratory system, encourages meaningful student participation? - CORRECT ANSWER B "Take a deep breath and pay attention to how it feels to breathe deeply" NOT D "you breathe all day every day, do you know hot it works?" Why? Beginning a lesson with a overt or covert participation is effective in helping students focus and absorb material. Choice B gives students a specific task, focusing their minds on the topic. Choices A and C are passively received by the listener and do not give the student a task to help them participate. Choice D is shallow and if absorbed by the students at all, can be dismissed with a yes or no answer. While in a science lab, a student who is repeatedly off task and disruptive is pretending to make pancake batter by mixing chemicals together. the appropriate response is to - CORRECT ANSWER D get the student out of the room and under the supervision of another adult not a-tell the student to stop and stand nearby to make sure he behaves Why -mixing chemicals is risky behavior. Because the student is repeatedly off task and disruptive, an immediate consequence is in order. A science lab class offers many distractions, and the teacher cannot ignore the rest of the students in order to control one child. A reliable test__ - CORRECT ANSWER A- yields consistent results not C-is free of bias Why? A reliable test must simply produce consistent results. A test must be reliable to be considered valid, but valid tests are not automatically reliable as well. Which teaching plan is the best way to begin a mathematics class? - CORRECT ANSWER B Begin a simple activity not a, going over homework why?A simple warm up activity allows the students to transition their thinking to mathematics. it has the added benefits of giving students a review, preview, or extension activity and giving the teacher an opportunity to check in with students and recognize individual difficulties that may appear while students do the warm up. What kind of info can be gathered using a formative student assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER B-patterns of student errors not c-a ranking of students based on learning why? A formative assessment is designed to give immediate evidence of student learning and is not used to grade or evaluate students. At 2+ standard deviations...what percentile is the student in? - CORRECT ANSWER a student is at the 95th percentile. Which of the following best describes how a consequence for classroom misbehavior should be enforced? - CORRECT ANSWER D after some warning has been delivered not c, immediately after the misbehavior takes place why? a small correction calls a student's attention to behavior that needs to change and gives the student an opportunity to make the change. usually that ends the immediate problem with minimum disruption to teaching and learning. what other students notice or do not notice is tangential. the immediacy suggested by choice c is important, but immediate attention, not immediate consequences, is key to good classroom discipline. A teacher notices that a student often misbehaves after she is given a reading assignment, most likely because the student has poor vocabulary skills and is not a competent reader. What should the teacher do? - CORRECT ANSWER Start designing a plan that will help the student build reading/language skills not d, refer student for special ed Why? Some educational problems seem to be at the root of misbehavior and choice b puts attention on finding educational solutions for them. enlisting parents might be part of the educational plan, but the focus should be more on educational strategies than on discipline. reading assignments probably should be adapted, but suspending them is an extreme step. asking for a special ed evaluation might be part of the teachers plan, but a referral for services implies that a good evaluation has already been made. Students monitor a US geological survey website and collect info about recent volcanoes and earthquakes. which of the following learning goals is met by this activity? - CORRECT ANSWER B accurately observe natural events. not c, identify simple patterns in physical phenomena Why? the activity gathers reliable info about natural events, but does not call for analysis and inference (B) or evaluation of devices used to capture data like D This instructional method can be time consuming and can diverge away from the topic - CORRECT ANSWER Socratic seminar This method most effectively conveys info to an entire group of students at once, gives the students the opportunity to teach students to listen attentively and take notes. - CORRECT ANSWER Lecture This should only be used when the act of discovery truly helps students learn - CORRECT ANSWER Discovery Learning- Worksheet Info - CORRECT ANSWER skill and drill workbook learning is most useful for building accuracy on a topic already discussed in class What kind of graphic organizer is most helpful during a brainstorming session in which students are supposed to come up with topics for a term paper? - CORRECT ANSWER c Cluster Diagram Why-it is a nonlinear graphic organizer that allows for and even stimulates creative thinking and free association-both of which make brainstorming more productive. Which of the following strategies is useful when a student is int he acquisition stage of learning? - CORRECT ANSWER correct a. The teacher demonstrates the target skill. not - b the student has frequent opportunities to drill c. the student gets periodic opportunities to review d. the student gets opportunities to practice the skill in a new setting demonstrating the skill is a way of introducing it. choice b should occur in the fluency stage, choice c in the generalization stage, and choice d in the adaptation stage a set of data with a low standard deviation is tightly grouped around the mean - CORRECT ANSWER why? standard deviation describes the average distance a number in the data set is from the mean of the set, in other words, it describes the spread of the data. the lower the standard deviation, the more tightly the data is grouped around the mean of the data set. it has nothing to do with the value of the numbers itself. The inter quartile range of a data set - CORRECT ANSWER Describes how spread out the middle of the data is Why:? By definition, the inter-quartile range is the first quartile subtracted from the third quartile (the medians of the top and bottom halves of a set of data that is, itself, divided at the median. " A teacher is working on instructional objectives for a science unit, including one that reads :Students will map the locations of recent earthquakes," which of the following modifications would best improve the objective? - CORRECT ANSWER D. Specifying how students will map the required location. Not A. indicating why this skill is important to the unit Why? The teacher needs to indicate how she intends the students to map the earthquakes, not just that she intends it to happen. None of the other choices adds as much instructional value to the objective. Which of the following homework assignments would best after a lesson that introduces the addition of fractions with common denominators? - CORRECT ANSWER C assign 10 problems on adding fractions with common denominators. not d. Ask students to summarize the procedure used to add fractions with common denominators. Why> practice problems should be relevant to the new instruction. choices a and b dont give students enough practice applying the new concept. choice d is not as effective as practice problems when establishing accuracy. Which of the following is an example of an inductive sequence? - CORRECT ANSWER DEDUCTIVE the class studies several totalitarian regimes and develops a list of general rules that apply to all dictatorships. not b-the class traces the step by step process through which totalitarian regimes come to power DEDUCTIVE or d-the class learns a general model of totalitarian govt and then applies it to various regimes to see if they fit the definition. why?inductive reasoning involves deriving a rule based on examples. Choice d is the opposite, deductive reasoning, in which a specific rule is applied to an example. If A student repeats a question already answered during a class period, the teacher should - CORRECT ANSWER B-answer the question using different language and examples not d, ask the student who posed the question the first time to tell the other student to answer Why? A teacher should encourage class participation by answering all relevant questions, even questions that are asked more than once. Choice a doesn't take into account that the student may be asking the question because she did not understand the explanation the first time. Choice C would only embarrass the student and make her less likely to ask questions in the future. Choice D PUTS both students in an awkward position. WHICH of the following verbs would indicate a behavioral objective? - CORRECT ANSWER Describe not A,comprehend, c, know, d, understand Why? A behavioral objective is a clear, precise statement used to describe what students should be able to do when they have completed theri instruction. Objectives must be measurable. The verb describes the behavior produced by the learner. A teacher has a set of handouts he gives throughout a unit on writing research papers. Which of the following should be the first handout he gives students? - CORRECT ANSWER D-Research papers: a step-by-step overview not a, brainstorming and outlinging why? giving students a preview broken down into steps makes learning a difficult skill seem more manageable. Choice a does involve the first phases of writing a paper, but students should get a preview of the whole process first. Choices b and c would come later in the unit. What statistical calculations are required when converting from a raw to a standard score? - CORRECT ANSWER A. mean and standard deviation. A standard score is calculated using the raw score, the distance from the mean, and the standard deviation of the distribution. A student who usually completes homework consistently has not returned her homework in for 3 consecutive days. When the teacher addresses the situation with the student, she is aloof and will not respond. What action should the teacher take? - CORRECT ANSWER B Call the students parents to schedule a conference not a, schedule a private meeting with the student to discuss problem in more detail why?since the student is normally responsible, it is important to determine, with the aid of her parents, what has caused the behavioral change. Choices c and d are too punitive under the circumstances. choice a is likely ineffective, since the student already proved unwilling to talk to the teacher about the problem. These TESTS DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW ACHIEVERS - CORRECT ANSWER Norm-referenced tests These tests check performance or predefined criteria - CORRECT ANSWER Criterion referenced tests A 4th grade science class completed an experiment in groups. which method of closing the lesson will best clarify students' understanding? - CORRECT ANSWER c explicitly teach the concepts the experiment illustrated implicitly not a, ask students to read their results and answer the questions you posed on the lab worksheet why?following inquiry based instruction with direct instruction helps ensure that all students understand what has occurred during the inquiry portion. Direct instruction in the closing can also give teachers a change to go further into depth on the concept that the students explored. having students write in their science journals about what they learned is a from of assessment, it doesn't clarify the students' understanding. Students in 10 grade English are finishing Romeo and Juliet in which they focused on the themes, fate, love, and inter-generational conflict. Which exercise provides the most effective closure to the unit? - CORRECT ANSWER D Ask students to compare the treatment of the three major themes in Romeo and Juliet to the treatment of those themes in another book, play, movie, or television program they have seen. not a, have students read final scene aloud and discuss how 3 main themes come together in conclusion Why? D reinforces the main concepts of the unit, and help students retain the info by encouraging them to connect what they have learned to their own lives and experiences. Which of the following techniques is most effective when leading whole class discussions? - CORRECT ANSWER A First present a question, then call on a student. not d, establish a clear pattern for calling on students. Why-Presenting the question before calling on a student helps keep the entire class engaged since many students will not think about the question if they will not be asked to respond. For this reason, choices B and D are not effective choices. Habitually repeating or even upgrading a response discourages other students from listening to their peers. In order to help her students attain fluency in reading grade-level materials aloud, the teacher assesses students frequently and tailors her instruction accordingly. Which type of assessment performed at least twice per month, would best monitor students reading fluenc - CORRECT ANSWER D students read a selected passage while the teacher keeps a running record of errors. not c, the teacher calls students aside to listen to them read several pages of their choice. In order to best monitor the students' reading fluency, a teacher must track error and speed over time. a running record allows a teacher to be more consistent in monitoring students because all errors are noted. patterns of mistakes and improvements over time can easily be seen. Listening to students read pleasure books is important, but a more formal process can help teachers better tailor their instruction. since the objective in this case was fluency, not comprehension, choice b(having student read silently and answering questions aloud) is an inappropriate assessment. What is: The difference between the actual score that a student achieves on an exam and her hypothetical score. The measurement is used to determine the accuracy of a test in gauging student knowledge. - CORRECT ANSWER STANDARD ERROR OF MEASUREMENT- A behavioral objective should contain an action verb that can be measured to determine if students have accomplished the objective. The verbs in the other answer choices are difficult, if not impossible, to measure. Which of the following prompts will require students to evaluate what they are working on? - CORRECT ANSWER D What is the most important? It directs students to make a judgement or form an opinion about something, a clear instance of evaluation. Choice A (What might happen if) is a from of synthesis Choice B (Describe in your own words) requires good comprehension but doesn't go beyond that Choice C (how does this illustrate) requires analysis demonstrated through categorizing A state's annual report on statewide student performance on mandated standardized tests includes a section in which the data is broken down by socioeconomic status. This data is - CORRECT ANSWER Biased Disaggregated means - CORRECT ANSWER separated into parts. Breaking a set of data down into parts doesn't make it biased or invalid. Example of token economy - CORRECT ANSWER students are given a reward like stickers stars chips or privileges for achieving a goal. This involves attaching an undesirable consequences to undesirable behavior (like missing recess for calling someone a bad name) - CORRECT ANSWER Negative Reinforcement This is a term psychologists use to describe a sort of operant conditioning in which a certain behavior is only sometimes reinforced. many students are motivated by competition, but in the example above, they are not competing with each other. - CORRECT ANSWER Partial Reinforcement A physical science class its own polyvinyl acetate blobs to demonstrate the characteristics of plastic polymers. The science is an example of what type of instruction? - CORRECT ANSWER B Inquiry learning. -The polymer activity is an example of inquiry or discovery learning. Students use the materials themselves to discover a concept in a structured lesson. In direct instruction the teacher presents the concepts directly to the students. Active teaching is another term used for direct-instruction techniques. Although the students are in groups, the type of instruction is not a discussion group. [Show Less]

ABCTE PTK Exam 20 Questions with Verified Answers During a class discussion, a teacher asks a student to evaluate President Roosevelt's Public Works A... [Show More] ssociation for its effectiveness as a means to alleviate unemployment while benefiting the community. How long should the teacher wait for a response? - CORRECT ANSWER 10 Seconds Why? Ten seconds is an appropriate length of time to wait for an answer to a question that calls for higher order thinking such as evaluating. The four major steps to planning a lesson are: task analysis, determining objectives, determining goals, and identifying necessary prerequisite knowledge. In what order should those steps occur? - CORRECT ANSWER Objectives, goals, prerequisite knowledge, task analysis Why? The first thing is to determine the overarching goal and then measurable objectives to reach that goal. A task analysis is completed to help guide the lesson plan, including determining the necessary prerequisite knowledge. A student who is usually well-behaved is consistently interrupting the class routine and annoying nearby students. The teacher has a already reminded him that he must obey the classroom behavior standards, but that has not changed the behavior. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate teacher response? - CORRECT ANSWER Separate the student from his classmates and have him take a five-minute time-out. Why? The behavior is consistent so ignoring it is ineffective. Rules must be enforced consistently, and if the student actively chooses to disobey, a consequence must follow. Referring the student to the school discipline officer is far too severe a response at this early stage, and telling him to explain behavior standards is unlikely to be effective since he has already ignored reminders. The problem is not that he cannot comprehend what the rules are, but instead why he has to follow them. Which of the following questions BEST promotes discussion? - CORRECT ANSWER Why do we still struggle to end racism? Why? This question allows for a large number of answers and a wide-ranging discussion. The discussion is likely to be interesting because it can include so many points of view. What kind of information can be gathered using a formative student assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER Patterns of student errors Why? A formative assessment is designed to give immediate evidence of student learning and is not used to grade or evaluate students. A teacher notices that a student often misbehaves after she is given a reading assignment, most likely because the student has poor vocabulary skills and is not a competent reader. What should the teacher do? - CORRECT ANSWER Start designing a plan that will help the student build reading and language skills. Why? Some educational problems seem to be at the root of the misbehavior. Enlisting parents might be part of the educational plan, but the focus should be more on educational strategies than on discipline. Reading assignments probably should be adapted, but suspending them is an extreme step. Asking for a special education evaluation might be part of the teacher's plan, but a referral for services implies that a good evaluation has already been made. Students monitor a United States Geological Survey website and collect information about recent volcanoes and earthquakes. Which of the following learning goals is met by this activity? - CORRECT ANSWER Accurately observed natural events. Why? The activity gathers reliable information about natural events, but does not call for analysis and inferences or evaluation of devices used to capture data. A rule relationship is an excellent method for organizing knowledge. Which of the following is an example of a rule relationship? - CORRECT ANSWER The fact that all reptiles are vertebrates. Why? Rule relationships are the backbone of organizing new materials. The other choices are not rule relationships because they do not form rules to organize and categorize individual units of knowledge. The interquartile range of a data set - CORRECT ANSWER Describes how spread out the middle of the data is. Why? By definition, the interquartile range is the first quartile subtracted from the third quartile (the medians of the 'top' and 'bottom' halves of a set of data that is, itself, divided at the median) Which of the following activities, when used to begin a class period, engages students most effectively? - CORRECT ANSWER Listening to the teacher tell a relevant story or case study. Why? A relevant story or case study immediately establishes a focal point and direction for the lesion, while providing a context so that students can immediately understand where the material 'fits'. Reviewing past lessons or skimming ahead does not build context or purpose for the lesson; neither does asking students to guess what they are about to learn. Which scenario indicates reliability but not validity? - CORRECT ANSWER A fish market scale always underweighs a product by 3.2 pounds. Why? A scale that is consistently off is a measure that is reliable but not valid. What should a teacher do when a very intelligent student aggressively dominates class discussions? - CORRECT ANSWER Start asking questions that have a range of possible answers and call for multiple responses. Why? The teacher should shift the focus of the discussion so that multiple responses are welcomed and all answers are considered carefully. The gifted student should not be isolated from the class and 'kept busy' so the other students can talk, and the student should not be reprimanded unless her behavior is inappropriate. Norm-referenced tests - CORRECT ANSWER Determine whether students have mastered a skill set. Why? Norm-referenced tests compare performance to a defined group of other test takers. A fourth-grade science class completed an experiment in groups. Which method of closing the lesion will BEST clarify student's understanding? - CORRECT ANSWER Have students write what they learned from the experiment in their science journals. Why? Following inquiry-based instruction with direct instruction helps ensure that all students understand what has occurred during the inquiry portion. Direct instruction in the closing can also give teachers a chance to go further into depth on the concept that the students explored. Having students write in their science journals about what they learned is a form of assessment; it does not clarify the students' understanding. What is the BEST way for a teacher to check on a students' general progress toward concept mastery during independent work periods? - CORRECT ANSWER Circulate around the room and quietly look over the students' work. Why? It is the least disruptive and will give the teacher an idea of the general progress of the class. Homework and other graded assignments will give the teacher more specific insight into each student's progress. In order to help her students attain fluency in reading grade-level materials aloud, the teacher assesses students frequently and tailors her instruction accordingly. Which type of assessment, performed at least twice per month, would BEST monitor students' reading fluency? - CORRECT ANSWER Students read a selected passage while the teacher keeps a running record of errors. Why? A teacher must track errors and speed over time. A running record allows a teacher to be more consistent in monitoring students because all errors are noted. Patterns of mistakes and improvements over time can easily be seen. Which of the following prompts will require students to evaluate what they are working on? - CORRECT ANSWER 'What is the most important...' Why? It directs students to make a judgment or form an opinion about something, a clear instance of evaluation. The number occurring MOST frequently in a data set is called the - CORRECT ANSWER Mode Why? The mode of any data set is the value that appears most frequently. An elementary school teacher tells his students he will give them stickers each time they master a new part of multiplication table (1s, 2s, etc). What sort of motivational system is he employing? - CORRECT ANSWER Token economy Why? The students are given a reward - token such as stickers, stars, chips or privileges - for achieving a goal. A physical science class made its own polyvinyl acetate blobs to demonstrate the characteristics of plastic polymers. The science experiment is an example of what type of instruction? - CORRECT ANSWER Inquiry learning Why? The polymer activity is an example of inquiry or discovery learning. Students use the materials themselves to discover a concept in a structured lesson. [Show Less]
ABCTE- PTK (Assessment & Writing) 98 Questions with Verified Answers Business Communication - CORRECT ANSWER Use concrete terms instead of abstract term... [Show More] s. The best you know your audience, the better you can anticipate and incorporate rules on how, what, and when to use specific words and terms. Understand the relationship between universal or specific appeal to an audience or context. Clear and concise communication involves anticipation. Anticipating the language that the reader is expected to know, unfamiliar terms, enables the writer to communicate. Promoting understanding and limiting misinterpretations are key goals of an effective communicator. Maintains Class Control - CORRECT ANSWER Students rely on teachers to establish and maintain a safe and orderly learning environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and allows each student to achieve his or her maximum potential. The need for student discipline requires the teacher to develop a set of rules that establish boundaries for behavior and to enforce them in a fair and consistent manner. Successful teachers prepare for classroom disruption before they begin to occur. Alongside creating a list, teacher should include consequences as part of the introductory events that occur during the first week of school. A well constructed, student-centered lesson plan is the best tactic that a teacher can employ to avert student discipline situations. Classroom Managment - CORRECT ANSWER Productive Writing - CORRECT ANSWER Know when you are most productive (mornings, afternoons, evenings...) If you cannot choose your timing, then dedication and perseverance is required. To be productive: 1. You need to be alert. 2. Ready to work 3. Accomplish task with relative ease. 4. Write everyday 5. Develop an habit of concentrating while you write. 6. Critical thinking self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking (attention to detail). 7. Have a positive attitude about writing in general. Reading and writing from an audience-centered view means acknowledging your confirmation bias and moving beyond it to consider multiple frames of references, points of view, perspectives as you read, research, and write. Break down writing in small manageable steps, that in turn, will provide you with a platform for success. Your rough draft as a purpose but its not your final product. Let go of fear of failure. Your desire for perfection should come in place when it comes to polishing your finished product. To eliminate fear of writing, make the unknown known. If we take out the mystery out of the product and and process, we can see it for its essential components. We see how our finished product should look. Examine successful papers to get a better feel for what you have to produce. Planning Checklist - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Determine your general purpose: are you trying to inform, persuade, entertain, facilitate interaction, or motivate a reader? (who, what, when, how, and why(optional)) Identifying "why" something happened or why a certain decision is advantageous will be the essence of the communication. 2. Determine your specific purpose: the desired outcome. 3. Credibility, Timing, and Audience Which question below is MOST likely to generate the widest range of answers and discussions among students? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Why would the author have ended the book this way? This question allows for both a wide range of answers and discussion of those answers. The discussion is likely to be interesting because there are so many possible answers to the question. Why questions tend to be the most open-ended. Why should a teacher always spend time explaining classroom rules during the first few days of class? - CORRECT ANSWER A: To establish clear expectations for performance and behavior. Students benefit from clear, firm guidelines from the outset. The rules should be changed only when necessary, not casually or according to students demands. Which of the methods below will BEST hold students accountable for their full participation in cooperative learning groups? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Assign each student in the group a specific role in accomplishing the objectives of the activity. If each student has a role in meeting the objectives and the activity is well structured, then all students will be drawn into participating because they all have something to do. Grading students' work individually can be appropriate during cooperative learning activities. Students evaluating each other should be generally avoided. When teachers share standardized test results with parents, there is a large amount of information in the score report to be discussed. Which information will be of MOST use to a typical parent? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Parents will generally benefit most rom specific information about how to help their children succeed. When parents know their child's weaknesses, they can emphasize working to improve them. Parents may want to know how their child had done in comparison to other students locally and nationally, but the information does not help their child improve.

Do you agree that ____? What supports the opinion _____? Suppose your objective is "The student will demonstrate an ability to differentiate among igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks." Which is the BEST activity for introducing students to the attributes of each type of rock? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Students examine rocks belonging to each group and identify the similarities and differences. The activity is followed by a group discussion in which the teacher brings out the important characteristics of each type. Students learn best when they are actively involved. Field Trip - CORRECT ANSWER Students take a field trip followed by having the students make bulletin boards of academic concept is a good follow-up or assessment activity after an introduction. A group of students wants to produce an electronic magazine that publishes original student writing and art. Their adviser is planning a unit to train them 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? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Small teams producing a document under proctored conditions, using specified features, and within a time limit. 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. Written test are not ideal for gaining student mastery of a process. Since students will be working in groups to produce the magazine, testing their solo performance is also unhelpful. Which of the following is MOST likely to promote effective transfer of knowledge to students? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Having students work on their own with specific information related to a topic before giving an organizing lecture. Studies indicate that topics need to be organized and connected in order to promote transfer of knowledge, but that a large number of topics covered quickly will hinder student transfer because students have too little time to connect and organize the information. 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 the students for the test? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Organizational structures help students to connect and remember. Leaving students to go over their notes and homework assignment is most suited for advanced students. Playing a teacher developed game, and working on individually test type questions could be helpful but does not give much support as an organizational structure. Which of the following learning objectives uses a higher order thinking skill? - CORRECT ANSWER A: The student will create a metaphor to describe an emotion. It requires synthesis in order to complete the task. Which of the following would provide the BEST introduction for a lesson on writing bibliography references? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Demonstrate to students the specific procedure and order expected. Writing bibliography references is a procedure, and procedures are best taught through demonstration. The teacher need to specify the important elements. Which of the following phrases BEST completes the following sentence? - CORRECT ANSWER Vocabulary should be taught... A: in every subject area in order for students to master the subject matter. Rather than expecting students to memorize vocabulary, it is more effective to help "hook" the words to vocabulary words students already know and to use those words in context both in class and in homework. Vocabulary study need to have context to be retained. A social studies teacher wants students to consider the role of geography in population patterns. She asks her class, "What role did geography play in the growth of Chicago as a major U.S. city?" What should she do next? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Students need various amounts of time to think through an answer to a question, particularly for complicated questions. Allowing students to answer right away can stop the thinking process for the other students. Calling on a student allows the rest of the class to stop thinking about the problem, too, and puts the student in an embarrassing position. Listing some possible answers on the blackboard and asking students which they think are the best is an option if the discussion gets stalled, but students should be given plenty of time to come up with their own ideas before the teacher starts prompting them. I. According to our textbook, what does the public welfare system do to solve the problems of poverty? II: What are some ways our country might solve the problems of poverty? Which of the following best describes the differences between these questions? - CORRECT ANSWER A: II invites more divergent thinking than I. The question is a matter of relative convergence and divergence. Question I converges on the textbook; that is, good answers will stick to what the textbook says. Question II allows for answers that may draw on sources other than the textbook. Both questions are open-ended. How should a teacher generally begin almost every class? - CORRECT ANSWER A: By telling students what they will be covering that day. 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 in every class. Casual conversation with students builds rapport but should be reserved for before or after class. What activities would BEST help students in a middle school social studies class understand why the different Native American tribes had different trading practices? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Assign a tribe to each group of students and give each group handouts that identify needs and oversupply for a particular tribe. Then stage trading activities among groups and have students identify important aspects. Students engaged in active participation are more likely to learn and understand complex interconnections. A struggling student comes to pick up a paper at your desk during class time. You have determined that this student needs extra help. Which of the following would be BEST to say to the student? - CORRECT ANSWER A: "I'd like to talk to you about this paper in a little more detail. Let's set up a time when we can talk in private." It is important to protect student privacy and avoid embarrassment. The vital issue is not to share lack of success with the rest of the students. 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? What is the main instructional value of asking a question like this? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Analysis of the separate stories and comparison between them. Question focuses on the 4th level of Bloom's Taxonomy. 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. If a school wanted to compare how its students were doing with respect to students in other school, what kind of assessment would be MOST appropriate? - CORRECT ANSWER A: A norm-referenced test is designed to give a percentile score that places each student on a continuum of 1 to 99+. Suppose you want students to learn to distinguish between the words imply and infer. Which of the following sequences would be MOST effective? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Explain the distinction, then have students apply the terms to their own examples. Students cannot work independently until a skill is learned. 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? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Examine events leading up to the war and develop a general model of world war in the process. Induction is the process of building a general model. Inductive instruction makes use of student "noticing". Instead of explaining a given concept and following this explanation with examples, the teacher presents students with many examples showing how the concept is used. Which of the following statements BEST illustrates a proven technique for encouraging student effort? - CORRECT ANSWER A: "You're exactly right here and her. Now check this." Teacher should give a student specific feedback about successful learning or performance and also points ahead to even better performance. A student usually well-behaved, is being disruptive at the moment. Which of the following techniques is an effective first intervention? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Move closer to the student. Moving closer is a good nonverbal cue that the teacher has recognized something that needs attention, yet gives the student a chance to correct things on the spot. Given the following set of scores on a standardized test, which choice most closely approximates the difference between the mean and median of the set? 89,65,77,93,80,87,79 - CORRECT ANSWER A: The mean of the data is 81.43 and the median is 80. The difference is 1.43 which is closer to 1. Token Economy - CORRECT ANSWER Students given a reward for achieving a goal. Negative Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER Negative reinforcement involves attaching an undesirable consequence to undesirable behavior (i.e., like missing recess for calling someone a bad name). Partial Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER Partial reinforcement is a term psychologist use to describe a sort of conditioning in which a certain behavior is only sometimes reinforced. Inquiry or Discovery Learning - CORRECT ANSWER Students use the materials themselves to discover a concept in a structured lesson. Direct Instruction or Active Teaching - CORRECT ANSWER The teacher presents the concepts directly to students. Retain Information - CORRECT ANSWER Students retain information better when they use it, especially in analytical ways. By comparing and contrasting each new topic to the earlier ones they have studied, the student will access previously taught information and think about the new information they are learning. Assessing the students tell the teacher what the students have retained, but, by itself, does not help students retain information. A fifth-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? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Give a free-response test on the "big ideas" of the unit and have students choose a project from a list of eight projects. 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 the goal. The project, from a limited number of choices that relate to the objectives, gives students another way to show what they have learned. Having the students design a project that shows what they learned is too free-form. It doesn't show that they have met the learning objectives. A student comes to you and says, "I just can't do math. My dad can't either. I don't have that kind of brain. I just don't get it." Which of the following is the BEST response to this situation? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Offer additional help and explain that you will pinpoint the areas that are causing problems and work through them. All students should be accountable. It insults students when the teacher assumes they cannot learn and gives them an excuse to avoid a challenge. Which of the following language arts activities requires the highest order of thinking skills? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Imagining and writing a new ending to a story is an example of the synthesis level of thinking on Bloom's Taxonomy. Two student work together to prepare visual aids that illustrate the major waves of immigration in the United States. The activity satisfies which of the following learning objectives? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Communicating suitable ways. Preparing visual aids necessarily engages students in thinking about what's suitable for the content, purpose, and audience. Their content may or may not require analyzing for cause and effect, for making claims, or making inferences (a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning). Curriculum planning is a major aspect of a teacher's job. Which teaching practice listed below will BEST help students to achieve grade-level outcomes? - CORRECT ANSWER A: A teacher should have a plan for the school year before the year begins, so that he or she is sure to teach the required learning objectives. The units of study can then be constructed around objectives, rather than the reverse. A nine-year old student with ADD is in a regular education classroom. He has average ability in math. Which strategy below will MOST effectively help him memorize his multiplication facts? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Have him spend 15 minutes per day using a computer program that practices multiplication facts. A multiplication fact program on the computer will probably hold his interest for more time than any of the other strategies, which means he will practice more. Working with another student may be a chance to goof off, rather than focus on practicing. When planning how students will practice correct spelling of the words "there," "their," and "they're," which of the following is the BEST pattern? - CORRECT ANSWER A: Practice frequently at first, spread out practice after that. Frequent initial practice helps people acquire a skill and develop frequency with it. Further practice aids retention. A teaching unit should be designed so that key skill are... - CORRECT ANSWER A: practiced frequently until students retain them. [Show Less]

It refers to the first part of the word, the one who chokes. // represent what? - CORRECT ANSWER phonemes { } represent what? - CORRECT ANSWER morphemes {a-} - CORRECT ANSWER Morpheme- is a prefix that adds a negative denotation to such words as amoral, apolitical, atheist, and apnea. -ist ending is a... - CORRECT ANSWER MORPHEME- smallest units of language that can have meaning. -ist suffix means "one who practices" "HARPIST" Name the Phonemes, unvoiced consonant, morpheme, onset and the rime. - CORRECT ANSWER phonemes: /h/ /a/ /r/ /p/ /i/ /s/ /t/ unvoiced consonant: "h" Morpheme: -ist "one who practices onset: "h" rime: "arp" Onset and Rime: - CORRECT ANSWER parts of SYLLABLES; the ONSET is the first consonant the RIME is made up of the vowels that follow and consonants that follow the ONSET Onset - CORRECT ANSWER First Consonant Rime - CORRECT ANSWER made up of the vowels that follow and consonants that follow the onset Synthetic Phonics - CORRECT ANSWER Teaching the basics of GRAPHEME-PHONEME RELATIONSHIPS (students learn to blend these into words) Explicit - CORRECT ANSWER clear and to the point systematic - CORRECT ANSWER successful modes of instruction are deliberate and measure example of SYNTHETIC PHONICS: - CORRECT ANSWER /b/ /a/ /t/ /k/- teacher systematically explores simple words that employ these PHONEMES. CAT and BAT, blending the phonemes to produce MORPHEMES Blending - CORRECT ANSWER knowing a group of phonemes students can combine these to form words. Segmenting - CORRECT ANSWER breaking words down into the phonemes that comprise it. (segmenting "tap" /t/ /a/ /p/ DECODING - CORRECT ANSWER (associated with reading) decoding means using phonemic knowledge and prior knowledge of spelling conventions to read a word. (experienced readers decode rapidly. early readers use blending to slowly decode words usually one at a time) Analogy Phonics - CORRECT ANSWER Prior Knowledge: using a word students are familiar with to pronounce another word. such as /b/ank and /p/ /r/ank. Analytic Phonics - CORRECT ANSWER Prior Knowledge: similar to analogy but small difference. the way you introduce the /p/ and the /r/ is different from the analogy method. you would ask the students a word that contains /pr/ blend like "pretty" and ask them a word that starts like "pretty" and ends like "bank" to come up with the word "PRANK" EMBEDDED PHONICS - CORRECT ANSWER (least popular) analogy or analytic approaches are fine, the difference is you are addressing a word type as it happens Recognizing when words begin or end with the same sound is what type of phonological awareness skill? - CORRECT ANSWER Analogy Phonics Difference between Analogy Phonics and Analytic Phonics? - CORRECT ANSWER Analytic Phonics uses FULL WORDS instead of phonemes out of context Phonics through spelling: - CORRECT ANSWER explicit phonics instructional methods begins with a spoken word and ends with a written word starts at the phoneme level and builds toward the word level - CORRECT ANSWER Synthetic Phonics combining previously learned phonemes to form words (segmenting is breaking words up into phonemes) - CORRECT ANSWER Blending The use of speling patterns and phonemic awareness to recognize a word - CORRECT ANSWER Decoding should be explicit, teacher takes a deliberate course of action in introducing phoneme-grapheme relationships - CORRECT ANSWER Phonics instruction Instruction - CORRECT ANSWER should be systematic; the teacher organizes the material in a way that leads students from phonemes to groups of phonemes to words starts at the whole word level and then analyzes their component phonemes - CORRECT ANSWER Analytic Phonics What is the second SYLLABLE of the word: Basement - CORRECT ANSWER -ent (m is the onset) Decoding - CORRECT ANSWER phonemic awarenes to recognize a word Etymology - CORRECT ANSWER study of the words origins and its usage over time Morphology - CORRECT ANSWER study of word structure Orthography - CORRECT ANSWER study of spelling patterns and conventions Orthography - CORRECT ANSWER study of spelling patterns and conventions Automaticity - CORRECT ANSWER ability to quickly and easily decode words (not fluency) [Show Less]
