ABCTE- PTK (Assessment & Writing) Questions and Answers 2024/2025

ABCTE- PTK (Assessment & Writing) Questions and Answers 2024/2025 A fifth-grade student has just finished a three-week unit on the American Revolution in social studies. Which strategy would be BEST to use to culminate the unit? - CORRECT ANSWER-A: Give a free-response test on the "big ideas" of the unit and have students choose a project from a list of eight projects. In order to know whether the learning objectives of the unit have been met, the objectives must be measured. A test on the major concepts of the American Revolution achieves the goal. The project, from a limited number of choices that relate to the objectives, gives students another way to show what they have learned. Having the students design a project that shows what they learned is too free-form. It doesn't show that they have met the learning objectives. A group of students wants to produce an electronic magazine that publishes original student writing and art. Their adviser is planning a unit to train them to use a wordprocessing application to create pages that include features such as images, multicolumn layouts, sidebars, headers, footers, links, and page backgrounds. Which of the following would be the BEST culminating activity for this portion of the training? CORRECT ANSWER-A: Small teams producing a document under proctored conditions, using specified features, and within a time limit. The purpose of the training is to prepare students to apply what they learn. The team and time limit conditions make the performance more realistic; the whole activity promotes retaining and transferring what has been learned. Written test are not ideal for gaining student mastery of a process. Since students will be working in groups to produce the magazine, testing their solo performance is also unhelpful. A nine-year old student with ADD is in a regular education classroom. He has average ability in math. Which strategy below will MOST effectively help him memorize his multiplication facts? - CORRECT ANSWER-A: Have him spend 15 minutes per day using a computer program that practices multiplication facts. A multiplication fact program on the computer will probably hold his interest for more time than any of the other strategies, which means he will practice more. Working with another student may be a chance to goof off, rather than focus on practicing.
