Analysis Questions
Directions: Read the following comments a teacher made about testing. Then answer the questions that follow by circling the letter of the best answer.
“Students go to school to learn, not to take tests. In addition, tests cannot be used to indicate a student’s absolute level of learning. All tests can do is rank students in order of achievement, and this relative ranking is influenced by guessing, bluffing, and the subjective opinions of the teacher doing the scoring. The teacher-learning process would benefit if we did away with tests and depended on student self-evaluation.”
Outcome: Recognizes unstated assumptions.
Which one of the following unstated assumptions is this teacher making?
a. Students go to school to learn.
b. Teachers use essay tests primarily.
c. Tests make no contribution to learning.
d. Tests do not indicate a student’s absolute level of learning.
Outcome: Identifies the meaning of a term.
Which one of the following types of test is this teacher primarily talking about?
a. Diagnostic test.
b. Formative test.
c. Pretest.
d. Summative test.
Directions: Read carefully through the paragraph below, and decide which of the options A-D is correct.
“The basic premise of pragmatism is that questions posed by speculative metaphysical propositions can often be answered by determining what the practical consequences of the acceptance of a particular metaphysical proposition are in this life. Practical consequences are taken as the criterion for assessing the relevance of all statements or ideas about truth, norm and hope.”
Outcome: Analyze whether a word fits with the accepted definition of pragmatism.
a. The word “acceptance” should be replaced by “rejection.”
b. The word “often” should be replaced by “only.”
c. The word “speculative” should be replaced by hypothetical.”
d. The word “criterion” should be replaced by “measure.”
Synthesis Question:
Directions: Read the following comments a teacher made about testing. Then answer the questions that follow by circling the letter of the best answer.
