Question 4

Question
Each day students are expected to write one thing they learned and one question they still have in their science journals. The teacher reads their entries to determine the effectiveness of the activities and what needs to be addressed again. This is an example of:

On the first day of their study of electricity, students working in small groups are asked to create a concept map showing what they already know about the topic. This is an example of:
Answer
  • diagnostic assessment
  • formative assessment
  • summative assessment
  • confirmatory assessment
  • none of the above

Question 6

Question
After observing mealworms for several months, students are asked to draw and label sketches that illustrate the sequence of this organism’s life cycle. To objectively determine grades, the teacher uses a rubric to determine to what extent each student mastered the learning objectives. This is an example of:
Answer
  • diagnostic assessment
  • formative assessment
  • summative assessment
  • confirmatory assessment
  • none of the above

Question 7

Question
Which of the following statements about “constructed response” items is NOT true?
Answer
  • Constructed response items are easier to grade than forced-choice or selected response items
  • Constructed response items can be part of a paper and pencil test.
  • Essay tests are made up of constructed response items
  • Constructed response items require the test taker to develop his/her answer rather than just pick one from a list
  • Fill-in-the blank items are constructed response items, unless a word bank is provided

Question 8

Question
Which of the following would you NOT expect to find on a “traditional assessment”?
Answer
  • authentic items
  • essay items
  • multiple-choice items
  • short-answer items

Question 9

Question
“Selected response” items:
Answer
  • enable you to measure a wide range of knowledge over a short period of time
  • are challenging to administer.
  • are quick to score and allow for prompt feedback.
  • require students to show their reasoning.
  • A & C

Question 10

Question
“Traditional assessment” items can be effectively used to assess:
Answer

Answer
  • focus
  • context
  • directions
  • authenticity
  • scoring guides

Question 12

Question
Authentic performance assessments:
Answer
  • are particularly relevant for inquiry science.

  • can be scored effectively with dell designed rubrics
  • all of the above
  • none of the above

Question 13

Question
Rubrics are most appropriate to use for:
Answer
  • scoring performance assessments.

Question 14

Question
Which of the following statements does NOT describe a rubric?
Answer

  • a checklist indicating if a behavior is observed but not how well it is accomplished

Question 15

Question
Which of the following is NOT true of formal assessment?
Answer
  • Formal assessments are events, such as tests, quizzes lab reports essays, or projects

  • Formal assessments are preplanned and scheduled in advance.

Question 16

Question
What are some common methods used in informally assessing students’ conceptual knowledge and understanding?
Answer
  • Student record pages such as a science notebook with many forms of notes, such as drawings, narratives, charts, and graphs.
  • Checklists of specific key elements you plan to consider in judging a student performance or product.
  • Teacher questioning is crucial in helping students make connections and learn important science concepts
  • A, B, & C
  • A & B only

Question 17

Question
Attitudes, values, and habits of mind are especially relevant to successful inquiry in elementary and middle school classrooms. It is difficult to measure:
Answer
  • being curious and insisting on evidence
  • seeking to apply science knowledge and being willing to critically evaluate ideas.
  • the use of a mnemonic device in recall the names of all the planets in our solar system
  • working cooperatively

Question 18

Question
Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of constructed-response items for assessment?
