QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ Different Types of Validity.
Answer: Face validity: Do the assessment items appear to be
appropriate?Content validity: Does the assessment content cover what you
want to assess?Criterion-related validity: How well does the test measure
what you want it to?Construct validity: Are you measuring what you think
you're measuring?
◍ Wireless Access Point.
Answer: Can be connected to hub, switch, or router; many routers now also
act as a wireless access point; sends out a wireless signal so computers on
the network can connect without a cable
◍ 2nd Generation of Computers.
Answer: Transistor components, magnetic core memory, smaller size, easier
to program, disk drives and drums, called mainframe computers
◍ Transistor.
Answer: A device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical
power.
◍ Model-View-Controller (MVC).
Answer: A development technique used in the implementation of user
interfaces
◍ Guidelines for Effective and Fair Grading.
Answer: Inform students at the beginning of instruction what grading
procedures will be used. Base grades on student achievement, and
achievement only. Base grades on a wide variety of valid assessment data.
, When combining scores for grading, use a proper weighting technique.
Select an appropriate frame of reference for grading.Review borderline
cases by reexamining all achievement evidence.
◍ Arranging Items on a Test.
Answer: 1. For instructional purposes, it is usually desirable to group
together items that measure the same outcome. -Each group of items can
then be identified by an appropriate heading (e.g., knowledge,
understanding, application). -The inclusion of the headings helps to identify
the areas where students are having difficulty and to plan for remedial
action.2. Where possible, all items of the same type should be grouped
together. -This arrangement makes it possible to provide only one set of
directions for each item type. It also simplifies the scoring and the analysis
of the results.3. The items should be arranged in terms of increasing
difficulty. -This arrangement has motivational effects on students and will
prevent them from getting "bogged down" by difficult items early in the test.
◍ Database Management System (DBMS).
Answer: Used to create, manipulate, and access the data in a database
◍ Looking at Assessment Data.
Answer: The steps are as follows: 1. review the data from each assessment
you conduct 2. review the overall results of all the assessment strategies you
have used 3. consider outside factors that might have affected student
learning 4. develop an action plan.
◍ 4th Generation of Computers.
Answer: Single chip processor, called microcomputer, first personal
computer, rudimentary computer graphics, home use
◍ The Revised Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.
Answer: provides a useful framework for (1) identifying a wide array of
intended learning outcomes; (2) planning instructional activities; (3)
planning assessment methods; and (4) checking on the alignment among
objectives, instruction, and assessment.
,◍ Assigning Grades.
Answer: Achievement:(i.e., how the student is performing in relation to
expected grade-level goals)Growth: (i.e., the amount of individual
improvement over time)Habits: (e.g., participation, behavior, effort,
attendance)
◍ Web Server.
Answer: Stores data files (web pages) and programs (scripts).Responds from
anywhere on the Internet.
◍ Security Administrator.
Answer: Installs, configures, and administers firewall security to protect
systems and proactively work to stop intrusions.
◍ Kernel.
Answer: Core components of the OS that is loaded when the computer is
first booted.
◍ Objective-Referenced Interpretation.
Answer: Assessment results are interpreted in terms of each specific
objective that a set of test items represents. This is frequently called
criterion-referenced interpretation, but the more limited designation is
preferable where interpretation is limited to each separate objective.
◍ Integrity.
Answer: Requires that data is correct
◍ Product Assessment.
Answer: Result of a performance assessment that becomes the focus of the
assessment.
◍ ETL.
Answer: Extract Transform, Load; process of extracting data, transforming it
for purposes of analysis, and loading it into the final target database.
◍ Self-Assessment.
Answer: process of students using specific criteria to evaluate and reflect on
, their own work.
◍ Attributes.
Answer: Columns of the relation
◍ Copyrights.
Answer: Protect an original work (in its tangible, expressed form), but not
the ideas behind the work for the duration of the author's life plus 70 years;
protects against duplication.
◍ Virus.
Answer: Software that attaches itself to another legitimate software
application
◍ Diagnostic Assessment.
Answer: (identifies causes of learning problems)To diagnose learning
difficulties during instructionExample: Test of math computational skills
necessary for learning math
◍ Octal.
Answer: Every value is represented with some combination of 8 digits (0 -
7)
◍ System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Answer: A process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying
information systems, including hardware and software
◍ Factors That Lower the Reliability of Test Scores.
Answer: 1. Test scores are based on too few items. (Remedy: Use longer
tests or accumulate scores from several short tests.)2. Range of scores is too
limited. (Remedy: Adjust item difficulty to obtain larger spread of scores.)3.
Testing conditions are inadequate. (Remedy: Arrange opportune time for
administration and eliminate interruptions, noise, and other disrupting
factors.)4. Scoring is subjective. (Remedy: Prepare scoring keys and follow
carefully when scoring essay answers.)
◍ Multi-tier Development.
