HSCI 720 WEEK 4 QUIZ: DEVELOPING A
TEACHING PLAN | QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATE | 100% CORRECT.
Q1: Using the ABCD method for writing learning objectives, the "C" stands for:
A. Content
B. Condition [CORRECT]
C. Competency
D. Criterion
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because ABCD: Audience (who), Behavior (action verb), Condition
(circumstances or tools provided), Degree (criterion for success, e.g., "with 90% accuracy").
Q2: A nursing instructor writes this objective: "The student will understand the signs of
respiratory distress." This objective is problematic because:
A. The audience is not specified
B. "Understand" is not a measurable verb [CORRECT]
C. The condition is missing
D. The degree is unrealistic
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because "understand" is vague and not observable/measurable; Bloom's
Taxonomy requires action verbs such as "list," "describe," "demonstrate," or "analyze."
Q3: Before developing a teaching plan for a new employee orientation, the educator reviews
incident reports from the past year to identify gaps in safety compliance. This needs assessment
method is:
A. Survey
B. Focus group
C. Document review [CORRECT]
D. Observation
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct because document review analyzes existing records (incident reports, test
scores, performance reviews) to identify performance gaps without new data collection.
Q4: In a lesson plan, the "anticipatory set" serves which purpose?
A. To assign homework for independent practice
B. To grab learner attention and activate prior knowledge [CORRECT]
C. To assess learning at the end of the lesson
D. To provide direct instruction of new content
, 2
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because anticipatory set (hook) opens the lesson, engages learners, connects
to prior knowledge, and motivates them for the learning to come.
Q5: A clinical instructor writes this objective: "Given a simulated cardiac arrest scenario, the
paramedic student will defibrillate the mannequin using correct energy selection and pad
placement within 60 seconds." The condition is:
A. Paramedic student
B. Defibrillate the mannequin
C. Given a simulated cardiac arrest scenario [CORRECT]
D. Within 60 seconds
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct because Condition describes circumstances or tools provided (simulated
scenario); Audience = paramedic student; Behavior = defibrillate; Degree = within 60 seconds.
Q6: A faculty member is designing a curriculum and uses Tyler's Model. Which question would
Tyler ask FIRST?
A. What learning experiences will achieve the objectives?
B. What educational purposes should the school seek to attain? [CORRECT]
C. How will the learning experiences be organized?
D. How will we determine if purposes are being attained?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because Tyler's Model begins with identifying educational purposes
(objectives) based on needs assessment of learners, society, and subject matter.
Q7: An educator provides a student with extended time to complete a written exam but does not
change the content or grading standards. This is an example of:
A. Modification
B. Accommodation [CORRECT]
C. Differentiation
D. Scaffolding
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because accommodation changes HOW a student learns or demonstrates
learning (extended time, oral testing, preferential seating) without changing content or
expectations.
Q8: Which component of a lesson plan typically comes immediately before independent practice?
A. Anticipatory set
B. Direct instruction
C. Guided practice [CORRECT]
D. Closure
Correct Answer: C
