Instructions and overview
Below are a number of multiple-choice questions relevant to this book. The questions are
based on Bloom’s taxonomy. The classification was developed to provide a common
language for teachers to discuss and exchange learning and assessment methods.
Using Bloom’s taxonomy, the goal of the teacher is to encourage higher-order thought in
their students by building up from lower-level cognitive skills. The six levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy, in order (lowest to highest), are remembering, understanding, application,
analysis, evaluating and creating. All of these stages slot into the cognitive domain, which
relates to how the brain processes information and thoughts.
Multiple choice tests can help to examine student ability with regard to a specific content
area and are used for Levels 1–4 of Bloom’s taxonomy. Note that four questions are
presented for each of these levels. Levels 5 and 6 are excluded from the multiple-choice
questions. This is because students must be able to make judgements and justify decisions in
Level 5. In Level 6 students should be able to put elements together to create a point of view.
Therefore, to develop student skills for these levels, essay questions are more applicable.
They provide a complex prompt that requires written responses, which can vary in length.
They provide students with an opportunity to explain their understanding and demonstrate
creativity.
Each multiple-choice question has four options; the correct answer is listed below the
options. Level 1 questions (remembering) are very simple, progressing to Level 4 questions
(analysing) which are more difficult; this should be considered when setting quizzes or
exams. A description of each level is now outlined in the table below.
Level Description
Level 1 (remembering) Recall facts without understanding. Students exhibit previously
learnt material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and
answers.
Level 2 (understanding) To show understanding, finding information from the text.
, Laasch, Principles of Business & Management: Practicing Ethics, Responsibility,
Sustainability, 3e
SAGE Publishing, 2024
Demonstrating basic understanding of facts and ideas also if
they are not presented in the form, sequence or context in
which they were originally introduced.
Level 3 (applying) To use in a new situation. Solving problems by applying
acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different
way. We particularly focus on students’ ability to spot
concepts in practical examples and content and transfer
concepts to practice.
Level 4 (analysis) To examine in detail. Examining and breaking information
down into parts by identifying motives or causes; making
inferences and finding evidence to support generalizations.
Questions are mostly more complex and richer in detail than
Level 3 questions, and typically apply book knowledge to
develop recommendations for practice or to recommend
courses of action based on particular concepts.
For each chapter, there is a full set of 20 core questions (Arabic numbers 1, 2, 3, …), five
questions per level. Most chapters also have additional questions for instructors to choose
from (marked with small letters a, b, c…). The core questions are deemed to cover each
chapter’s main concepts and are likely to apply for a wide variety of courses. The additional
questions are either more specific questions, more tuned in to specialized courses, covering
contents from each chapter’s back end, or they are questions that closely resemble (but are
slightly different) to some of the core questions. The latter might prove useful for instructors
who want to make sure that students don’t simply learn all answers by heart, but are instead
able to catch why a slightly different questions implies a different answer.
Example of possible instruction to students:
For each of the following questions, read each question carefully and then choose the answer
you believe is most correct.
