Question 1

The primary value of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive objectives is that it can

Accepted Answer

The primary value of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive objectives is that it leads educators to think carefully about the objectives they construct. It encourages them to focus on the intended outcomes of their teaching and assess their students' progress towards achieving those outcomes. While the taxonomy does provide a hierarchy of learning, its main purpose is to guide instructional design and assessment practices. It does not rank different types of learning nor is it primarily intended as a tool for administrators to evaluate courses.

Question 2

Which one of the following is likely to be an objective written by a teacher from the cognitive viewpoint?

Accepted Answer

The objective of understanding "aesthetic distance" in drama falls under the cognitive viewpoint since it involves comprehension and insight. The other options involve more of rote memorization or calculation skills.

Question 3

Which one of the following statements is TRUE with regard to instructional planning?

Accepted Answer

Instructional planning is critical at the beginning of the year when establishing expectations, routines, and assessing student needs. While daily planning is important for effective instruction, unit and weekly planning allow for long-term goals and pacing to be established. Instructional planning is important at all grade levels. However, plans should be flexible and adjusted as needed based on student needs and progress.

Question 4

Mrs.Savage is hoping that her students will really appreciate the importance of earthquakes following the unit that she is about to teach.The type of affective objective that she should expect to occur FIRST for this outcome is

Accepted Answer

The first stage of the affective domain is typically receiving, which involves the student being aware of and open to the new information or experience being presented. In this case, Mrs. Savage's students would need to first receive the information about the importance of earthquakes before they can begin to respond in any way or assign personal values to it.

Question 5

Given the objective "students will be able to write complete sentences using words from a new vocabulary list," identify whether Mager's three criteria for a correctly stated behavioural objective are present or absent in this objective. Behaviour Condition Criterion

Question 6

What level of Bloom's taxonomy is most difficult,if not impossible,to measure with multiple-choice tests?

Accepted Answer

Creating is the most difficult level of Bloom's taxonomy to measure with multiple-choice tests as it requires students to apply their learning in new and unique ways to generate original ideas, products, or solutions. Multiple-choice tests are limited in their ability to assess this level of higher-order thinking as they primarily focus on testing the recall of information and the ability to recognize correct answers among predetermined options. Creating involves more open-ended and subjective responses that cannot be easily captured by a multiple-choice format.

Question 7

What is the taxonomic domain of the following objective? "After learning about the properties of magnetism,students will build a vacuum and observe whether there is magnetic behaviour present."

Accepted Answer

The objective involves a hands-on activity and observation, which falls under the psychomotor domain of taxonomy.

Question 8

Which one of the following objectives is complete according to Mager's guidelines?

Accepted Answer

Mager's guidelines state that objectives should include a clear statement of what the learner is expected to be able to do, the conditions under which the behavior is to occur, and the criterion of acceptable performance. Option B meets all three criteria by specifying that students must correctly identify the function of the four major organs in the digestive system (what they are expected to do), without using notes (the conditions under which the behavior is to occur), and with no indication of an acceptable level of performance required (the criterion of acceptable performance is not explicitly stated in the objective). The other options either do not specify a criterion of acceptable performance or lack clear conditions under which the behavior is to occur.

Question 9

In the highest level of the affective domain,students are expected to

Accepted Answer

The highest level of the affective domain is characterized by adopting and acting consistently with a new value, which involves a fundamental change in an individual's belief system and behavior. This level is called "characterization" and occurs when a person has developed a value system that controls his or her behavior.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

The answer of The BEST method by which active learning...

Question 11

Indicate the $\bold{HIGHEST}$ level of Bloom's taxonomy in which the following question can be classified: "How should government classes judge the feasibility of a court decision?"

Accepted Answer

The question is asking for an evaluation of a decision-making process, which requires a higher level of thinking than simple analysis or application. Creating a new decision-making process would involve even higher-level thinking, but that is not what the question is asking for.

Question 12

Lecturing is most appropriate for situations

Accepted Answer

Lecturing is most effective when the primary goals are to convey information and ensure students understand and remember it, making it suitable for cognitive objectives focused on remembering and understanding.

Question 13

In order to measure the outcomes of cognitive objectives more easily,the objectives should be

Accepted Answer

Clarifying cognitive objectives with specific examples makes it easier to measure outcomes, as it provides clear criteria for assessing whether the objective has been achieved or not. Testing can also be used as a means of measuring outcomes, but it should not be the sole focus. Conceptualizing objectives as a general case or presenting them to the class prior to a lesson may not necessarily make it easier to measure outcomes.

Question 14

The constructivist approach to planning learning experiences emphasizes what roles for teachers and students?

Accepted Answer

The constructivist approach emphasizes active participation from both teachers and students in determining the content, activities, and learning strategies. This approach acknowledges that learners construct their own meaning and understanding, and that the role of the teacher is to facilitate this process rather than dictate it. Therefore, choice B is the most appropriate answer.

Question 15

To what taxonomic domain does the following objective belong? "Students will share their reactions about the appeal of a painting after a trip to a local gallery."

Accepted Answer

The objective involves student reactions and emotions, which falls under the affective domain.

Question 16

A constructivist approach to planning,compared to a traditional approach,would include use of

Accepted Answer

A constructivist approach emphasizes active student participation in the learning process, and one way this is achieved is through collaborative decision-making between students and teachers. This includes decisions about learning objectives and activities, which is not typically part of a traditional approach. Choices A and D do not necessarily align with constructivist principles, and choice B does not necessarily promote collaboration or active student engagement.

Question 17

Ms.Smith would like to measure her first-graders' mastery of their personal information (address,phone number,spelling of name).What level of Bloom's taxonomy do her questions illustrate?

Accepted Answer

Questions about personal information like address, phone number, and spelling of name require students to recall information from memory, which is at the remembering level of Bloom's taxonomy.

Question 18

Which one of the following objectives illustrates an appropriate behavioural example of the cognitive objective,"Students will be able to understand the concept of correlation"?

Accepted Answer

Identifying instances of positive and negative correlation demonstrates an understanding of the concept by applying it to recognize real-world examples, aligning with the cognitive objective.

Question 19

Analysis of the relationship between teachers' knowledge of a subject and students' learning suggests that knowledge is

Accepted Answer

While teachers' knowledge of a subject is necessary for improving students learning, it is not sufficient on its own. Other factors such as teaching strategies, classroom management, and student-teacher relationships also play a significant role in fostering student achievement. Therefore, although knowledge is important, it is not the best predictor of student achievement or the most important quality of a good teacher.

Question 20

Your textbook suggests that advanced planning is important primarily because such planning

Accepted Answer

Advanced planning helps the teacher to influence what students will learn by setting clear goals and objectives, selecting appropriate instructional methods and materials, and designing assessments that measure student progress towards those goals. While advanced planning may also help with time management and reducing uncertainty, these are not the primary reasons for its importance.
