1) It indicates or describes how spread the scores are.

a) Measures of Position

b) Measures of Variability

c) Measures of Central Tendency

d) Measures of Relative Position

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Measures of Variability, such as range, variance, and standard deviation, describe the spread or dispersion of scores within a distribution. Therefore, the correct answer is "Measures of Variability."

2) The counterpart of the mean and it's used when the distribution is normal or symmetrical.

a) Range

b) Standard Deviation

c) Semi-inter quartile Range

d) Quartile Deviation

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Standard deviation is the counterpart of the mean and is most appropriate when the distribution is normal or symmetrical. It measures the average distance of each score from the mean. Therefore, the correct answer is "Standard Deviation."

3) What is the common instrument used in measuring learning in the affective domain?

a) Multiple choice

b) Checklist

c) Scaling

d) Questionnaire

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: This question tests knowledge of assessment methods for different learning domains. The affective domain relates to attitudes, values, and emotions. Questionnaires are commonly used to measure learning in this domain because they can capture subjective responses and personal perspectives effectively. Multiple choice questions are more suited to cognitive assessments, while checklists are often used for behavioral observations. Scaling can be part of questionnaires but doesn't encompass the full range of affective assessment. Questionnaires, especially those using Likert scales or open-ended questions, are particularly effective for assessing affective learning outcomes.


4) This is considered as the most frequent score in a distribution.

a) Median

b) Mode

c) Variance

d) Mean

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Mode is the correct answer because it represents the most frequently occurring score in a distribution. Median is the middle value, variance measures the spread, and mean is the average.

5) A test is considered reliable if _____.

a) it is easy to score

b) it served the purpose for which it is constructed

c) it is consistent and stable

d) it is easy to administer

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c] it is consistent and stable. Reliability in testing refers to the consistency and stability of results over time. While ease of scoring, purpose, and administration are important, they do not directly define a test's reliability.

6) In a multiple choice test item with four options and out of 50 examinees, which was the most effective distracter?

a) the correct answer that was chosen by 6 examinees

b) the option that was chosen by 30 examinees

c) the option that was chosen by 2 examinees

d) the

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer should be b] the option that was chosen by 30 examinees** because an effective distracter attracts a significant portion of examinees, indicating it is a plausible alternative. Answers a], c], and d] do not fulfill this criterion.

7) Which of the following indicates a strong negative correlation?

a) -75

b) -15

c) -10

d) -25

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: This question tests understanding of correlation coefficients. A correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1, with -1 indicating a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicating no correlation, and +1 indicating a perfect positive correlation. Among the given options, -75 (which should be interpreted as -0.75) indicates the strongest negative correlation. It's closer to -1 than any of the other options, signifying a strong inverse relationship between the variables. The other values (-0.15, -0.10, -0.25) represent weak to moderate negative correlations.


8) It indicates where a score is, in relation to all other scores in the distribution.

a) Measures of Variability

b) Measure of Relative Position

c) Measures of Position

d) Measures of Relation

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Measures of Relative Position, such as percentiles and standard scores, indicate where a particular score lies relative to all other scores in a distribution. Therefore, the correct answer is "Measure of Relative Position."

9) Student R gave a wrong answer. Teacher W said "Wrong! You are way off." As a consequence, other students in the class were afraid to answer questions. Which of the following is illustrated by the event?

a) ripple effect

b) halo effect

c) severity error

d) central tendency error

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The ripple effect describes how one action affects others in a group, as seen when other students became afraid to answer questions. The halo effect is when one trait influences overall judgment, severity error involves harsh grading, and central tendency error is the avoidance of extreme ratings.

10) Which type of test measures higher order thinking skills?

a) Enumeration

b) Matching

c) Completion

d) Analogy

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a] Enumeration. This type of test often requires students to apply, analyze, or evaluate information, thus measuring higher-order thinking skills. Matching, completion, and analogy tests may focus more on recall and lower-order thinking skills.

11) To what extent were the objectives of the course met? This is the concern of the process of _____ evaluation.

a) authentic

b) criterion-referenced

c) norm-referenced

d) formative

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer is b] criterion-referenced. Criterion-referenced evaluation assesses the extent to which course objectives have been met based on specific criteria. Authentic, norm-referenced, and formative evaluations focus on different aspects of assessment.

12) The principle of learner _____ makes assessment a shared responsibility with the teacher.

a) performance

b) accountability

c) responsibility

d) evaluation

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Learner accountability makes assessment a shared responsibility with the teacher, emphasizing the student's role in their own learning. Performance, responsibility, and evaluation are related concepts but do not specifically highlight shared responsibility.
