Final Actual Exam for ABCTE PTK 2024/2025 Questions and Answers A 4th grade class has been having a great deal of trouble settling down during transitions between activities, as well as after recess and lunch. The teacher has decided to speak to the class again about what behavior he expects and offers them a reward for exhibiting the acceptable behaviors during transitions times. Which type of incentive is MOST appropriate in this situation? - CORRECT ANSWER-When individual students behave appropriately, they earn points toward a group reward that the class has chosen. Why? The more students who behave appropriately, the faster the students will reach their reward goal. This also encourages modeling of appropriate behavior, so that there is some peer pressure to help earn more points. It eliminates the punishing aspects of having a few students who cannot or will not behave appropriately, which is the problem with having the whole class behave appropriately in order to earn points. A 5th 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-Give a free-response test on the 'big ideas' of the unit and have students choose a project from a list of eight projects. Why? 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 that goal. The project, from a limited number of choices that relate to the objectives, gives students another way to show what they have learned.
