ABCTE PTK PRACTICE EXAM COMPLETE
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
\.What type of question would most likely generate the widest range of answers
and discussions among students? - ANSWERS✔-Why would the author have
ended the book this way? "Why" questions tend to be the most open-ended.
\.Why should a teacher always spend time explaining classroom rules during the
first few days of class? - ANSWERS✔-To establish clear expectations for
performance and behavior. Students benefit from clear, firm guidelines from the
outset.
\.What method will BEST hold students accountable for their full participation in
cooperative learning groups? - ANSWERS✔-Assign each student in the group a
specific role in accomplishing the objectives of the activity. If each student has a
role in meeting the objectives and the activity is well structured, then all students
will be drawn into participating because they all have something to do.
\.When teachers share standardized test results with parents, there is a large
amount of information in the score report to be discussed. Which information will
be of MOST use to the typical parent? - ANSWERS✔-Specific areas of academic
strength and weakness. When parents know their child's weaknesses, they can
emphasize working to improve them.
\.Suppose your objective for a lesson is "The student will demonstrate an ability to
differentiate among igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks." Which of the
, following is the BEST activity for introducing students to the attributes of each
type of rock? - ANSWERS✔-Students examine rocks belonging to each group and
identify the similarities and differences. The activity is followed by a group
discussion in which the teacher brings out the important characteristics of each
type. Students learn best when they are actively involved.
\.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 how
to use a word-processing application to create pages that include features such as
images, multi-column layouts, sidebars, headers, footers, links, and page
backgrounds. What would be the BEST culminating activity for this portion of the
training? - ANSWERS✔-Small teams producing a document under proctored
conditions, using specified features, and within a time limit. The purpose of the
raining 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 leaned.
\.What is MOST likely to promote effective transfer of knowledge to students? -
ANSWERS✔-Having students work on their own with specific information related
to a topic before giving an organizing lecture. Studies indicate that topics need to
be organized and connected in order to promote transfer knowledge, but that a
large number of topics covered quickly will hinder student transfer because
students have too little time to connect and organize the information.
\.Students are about to take a paper and pencil test. If there is time for only one
activity, what would be the BEST to prepare the students for the test? -
ANSWERS✔-Students should make a chart of the important topics with notes on
subtopics below each. Organizational structures help students to connect and
remember.
