COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW, PRACTICE
QUESTIONS & PROVEN STRATEGIES TO
PASS ON YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT
What is an indication of the IQR (Interquartile range)? - --ANSWER
IS>>>>--It gives you an indication of how much the data values
"stretch" from the center of the data.
IQR = Q3 - Q1.
The IQR contains the center 50 percent of the data.
What is an advantage of criterion reference assessment over norm-
refernce? - --ANSWER IS>>>>--An advantage of criterion-referenced
tests over norm-referenced tests is their diagnostic, placement, and
remediation use. Teachers in Florida are expected to analyze student
performance data to address remediation needs of individual students.
Formative assessment - --ANSWER IS>>>>--occurs before and during
instruction. It is critical to teachers' instructional decision making.
Formative assessments include screening, diagnostic, progress
monitoring, and various informal classroom assessments.
,Summative assessment - --ANSWER IS>>>>--occurs after instruction has
taken place at the end of an instructional unit, regular grading period,
or school year. Summative assessments include outcome assessments
and report cards.
Screening assessments - --ANSWER IS>>>>--are administered to all
students. BOY ( baseline), MOY (midyear), EOY (end of the year).
Diagnostic assessment - --ANSWER IS>>>>--are administered (usually
individually) to selected students for the purpose of identifying learning
strengths and weaknesses with critical skills and concepts.
Progress monitoring assessments - --ANSWER IS>>>>--are regularly
administered (that is, dynamic, ongoing) assessments used to evaluate
students' academic progress for the purpose of making data-based
decisions regarding instruction and interventions.
When should progress monitor assessment should be used? - --
ANSWER IS>>>>--Progress monitoring should occur routinely (weekly,
biweekly, or monthly) and use valid and reliable assessments that are
sensitive to small changes in student academic performance.
Informal classroom assessment - --ANSWER IS>>>>--Informal classroom
assessments include teacher observations, anecdotal records,
classroom questioning, checklists, guided practice, student activities,
portfolios and work samples, projects and products, teacher-made
quizzes and tests, and homework. Progress reports.
, Outcome assessments - --ANSWER IS>>>>--Outcome assessments
include the end-of-year statewide, standardized assessments;
standardized norm-referenced tests; and end-of-grading period
assessments. Data from these assessments are used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the instructional program.
What are two type of summative assessments? - --ANSWER IS>>>>--
Outcome assessments and report cards.
Assessment that occurs at the end of an instructional unit is
__________ assessment. - --ANSWER IS>>>>--summative
Formative assessments that are designed to identify a student's
strengths and weaknesses are __________ assessments. - --ANSWER
IS>>>>--diagnostic
What are the types of formative assessments? - --ANSWER IS>>>>--
Screening assessments, diagnostic, progress monitoring, informal
classroom assessment.
What does reliability refferest to? - --ANSWER IS>>>>--Reliability refers
to the consistency of a measurement over time and repeated
measurements. If a teacher gives alternate forms of the same test
periodically over several months and the students' performance scores
remain relatively the same, the test has reliability.
