Question 1

A student's response to each set of three items on a Kuder General Interest Survey indicates which of the following results?&#10;A)disliking of each item&#10;B)liking, indifference, or disliking of each item&#10;C)liking of each set of 3 items in comparison to other sets&#10;D)ranking of items in each set

D

Question 2

Anecdotal records are best for obtaining information about which of the following student skills?&#10;A)mathematical&#10;B)social&#10;C)science&#10;D)writing

Accepted Answer

Anecdotal records are most effective in obtaining information about social skills, such as communication, cooperation, and interaction with peers and adults. They typically involve brief descriptions of specific behaviors or situations that demonstrate the student's social skills or challenges. While anecdotal records can also provide valuable insight into other student skills, such as writing or math abilities, they are not as well-suited for capturing these skills as they are for social skills.

Question 3

Which of the following is assumed in a student self-assessment?&#10;A)objectivity&#10;B)telling the truth&#10;C)writing ability&#10;D)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Student self-assessment assumes that the student is telling the truth about their own abilities and performance. While objectivity, writing ability, and long-term memory may all play a role in self-assessment, they are not explicitly assumed.

Question 4

The value of anecdotal records can be improved by recording student behavior&#10;A)after school, when a complete record can be written.&#10;B)in positive terms only.&#10;C)occurring in a variety of situations.&#10;D)on cards instead of a note pad.

Accepted Answer

Recording student behavior occurring in a variety of situations provides a more comprehensive understanding of the student's behavior and can lead to more effective interventions. Recording after school or on cards may be helpful for organization and thoroughness, but is not essential to improving the value of anecdotal records. Recording in positive terms only may skew the accuracy of the observations and neglect potential areas of improvement.

Question 5

A Likert-type attitude scale should include which of the following characteristics?&#10;A)clearly favorable and unfavorable statements&#10;B)questions at progressing difficulty levels&#10;C)questions measuring personal abilities and skills&#10;D)statements covering negative attitudes

Accepted Answer

A Likert-type attitude scale should include clearly favorable and unfavorable statements to assess participants' attitudes towards a particular topic or object. The other options, such as questions at progressing difficulty levels or measuring personal abilities and skills, are not necessarily characteristics of a Likert-type attitude scale.

Question 6

The results of the guess who technique should be interpreted as evidence of how students are&#10;A)treated by others.&#10;B)viewed by others.&#10;C)feeling about school activities.&#10;D)feeling about themselves.

Accepted Answer

The "guess who" technique is used to gather information on how individuals are perceived by others, thus it provides evidence of how students are viewed by others.

Question 7

Which of the following numerical choices should a Likert scale possess?&#10;A)1-2&#10;B)2-3&#10;C)3-5.&#10;D)7 or more

Question 8

Which of the following methods is best for highlighting evidence of exceptional or atypical student behavior on the playground?&#10;A)Anecdotal record&#10;B)Checklist&#10;C)Peer appraisal&#10;D)Self-appraisal

Accepted Answer

Anecdotal records involve recording specific incidents of behavior or actions. This is the best method for highlighting exceptional or atypical student behavior because it allows for an in-depth description of the behavior and the context in which it occurred. It also enables teachers to track patterns of behavior over time. Checklists, peer appraisal, and self-appraisal are useful for recording more general or typical behavior, but they may not capture the nuances of exceptional behavior.

Question 9

The routine use of personality inventories in the school has declined primarily because of which of the following factors?&#10;A)difficulty of scoring&#10;B)invasion of privacy issues&#10;C)unreliability of the scores&#10;D)wider use of projective techniques

Accepted Answer

Invasion of privacy issues, such as concerns over confidentiality and potential discrimination, have led to a decline in the routine use of personality inventories in schools. Other factors, such as difficulty of scoring and unreliability of the scores, may also contribute to this decline, but invasion of privacy issues are likely the primary factor. The use of projective techniques may be on the rise, but this is not necessarily linked to the decline in personality inventories.

Question 10

Which of the following statements would be best for a Likert-type attitude scale?&#10;A)Reading helps you study better.&#10;B)Reading is exciting.&#10;C)Reading is one of the basic skills.&#10;D)Some students like to read.

Accepted Answer

A Likert-type attitude scale typically asks for respondents to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with a statement on a scale, ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Statement B ("Reading is exciting") lends itself best to this type of response format, as respondents can rate their level of agreement or disagreement with the statement based on their own personal experience and feelings towards reading. Statements A, C, and D may also reflect attitudes towards reading, but they are less direct and may not elicit as strong or clear of a response in a Likert-type format.

Question 11

Peer appraisal methods are especially useful in which of the following areas?&#10;A)attitudes&#10;B)interests&#10;C)performance skills&#10;D)social skills
