Accepted Answer

Criterion-referenced assessments focus on measuring students' performance against a fixed set of criteria or standards, rather than comparing their performance to that of their peers, which is characteristic of norm-referenced assessments.

Question 4

One of the following is not a &#34;work habits&#34; disposition as defined by the Coalition of Essential Schools, identified as _______.&#10;A) reflecting critically on one's own work&#10;B) willingness to work hard&#10;C) ability to manage time effectively&#10;D) developing dependence on others

Accepted Answer

Developing dependence on others is not considered a "work habits" disposition by the Coalition of Essential Schools. The other options (reflecting critically on one's own work, willingness to work hard, and ability to manage time effectively) are aligned with the dispositions emphasized by the Coalition, which promotes independence and self-directed learning.

Question 5

One of the following is not a &#34;guiding principle&#34; associated with development of classroom assessments, and is identified as _______.&#10;A) clear and appropriate targets&#10;B) assessments accomplished by effective communication&#10;C) quantitative not qualitative analysis&#10;D) recognition that accurate measurement is a must

Accepted Answer

The guiding principles for developing classroom assessments emphasize clear and appropriate targets, effective communication, and accurate measurement. Quantitative not qualitative analysis is not a guiding principle because effective assessments often incorporate both quantitative and qualitative analysis to fully understand student learning and achievement.

Question 6

Question 7

Innovations in assessment are partly a response to criticisms of the fairness and objectivity of standardized tests that have focused on all of the following except _______.&#10;A) class and gender bias&#10;B) failure to measure students' general levels of intelligence&#10;C) failure to accurately measure students' skills&#10;D) failure to measure students' levels of achievement

Accepted Answer

Standardized tests have been criticized for class and gender bias, not accurately measuring students' skills, and not measuring students' levels of achievement, but not for failing to measure students' general levels of intelligence. This is because standardized tests are often designed to measure specific knowledge or skills rather than general intelligence.

Question 8

Which of the following is not an example of authentic assessment?&#10;A) writing a brochure promoting a local school&#10;B) making a map&#10;C) writing the formula for the area of a rectangle on a test&#10;D) producing a video about the community

Accepted Answer

Authentic assessment involves tasks that demonstrate students' ability to apply their knowledge in real-world or practical contexts. Writing the formula for the area of a rectangle on a test is a traditional assessment method, focusing on rote memorization rather than the application of knowledge in a practical, real-world context.

Question 9

When teachers in restructured schools emphasized authentic assessment, their assessments focused on all of the following except _______.&#10;A) students' ability to think&#10;B) students' skill at reproducing given knowledge&#10;C) development of in-depth understanding&#10;D) ability to apply academic learning to realistic problems

Accepted Answer

Authentic assessment emphasizes applying knowledge to real-world scenarios, critical thinking, and in-depth understanding rather than merely reproducing given knowledge.
